Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Setting the Stage: Office Dynamics

• [00:22] DJ Pre K introduces the theme, likening differing personalities to cookies and milk—sometimes sweet, sometimes explosive when mixed:
  “Some people are like milk, some people are like cookies, man. But what happens when you dip the cookie in the milk and the blow up?...Let’s take a listen to see what happens when two big personalities clash.”

• [01:03–02:05] Bobbo describes his struggle with focus due to changes in office spaces and proximity to Brandy.
• [01:19–01:48] John and JD rib Bobbo about exaggerating his workspace woes, insisting Bobbo actually has the best office:
  • JD: “You have an office that had four people in it with a private bathroom. And now it’s all yours.”
  • Bobbo: “No, you’re right, John. Nothing’s wrong, okay? Your office is as big as the studio. You’re right, JD. Gosh, I’m sorry.”
• [02:05] They tease that Bobbo just doesn't want neighbors—he wants his own wing because of office noise.

3. Brandy’s Volume & Office Antics

• [02:14–06:25] Bobbo bemoans how loud Brandy and her team are, especially as his work involves recording audio:
  • Bobbo: “Thank God. God, they’re loud.” [02:10]
  • He explains Brandy’s tendency to shout for colleagues like Steve instead of using the phone:
    • “...out of nowhere… Brandy goes, ‘STEVE!...’ Rather than call Steve or walk down there...”
  • Brandy’s voice becomes a running joke, with Bobbo’s impersonation leading to mock complaints:
    • “I hate when you talk like me. You make me sound like Forrest Gump.” [05:01, paraphrased]

Memorable Quotes:

4. Brandy’s Essential Role & ‘Made Women’

• [05:33–05:49] Despite his gripes, Bobbo admits Brandy is indispensable:
  • “Brandy is almost kind of, like, protected in this business...she’s what we refer to as a friend of ours.”
  • John adds: “Most people have made men. I’ve made women.”
• [06:12–07:56] They poke fun at Brandy’s on-the-job multitasking—managing auctions, grilling hamburgers inside, and generating laughter with her Texas energy.

  • “She’s like, ‘Can he just use headphones? Is there a reason the man cannot wear headphones?’” [09:14]

Transcript

[A]

The John Clay Wolf show has appeared on terrestrial radio for a really, really, really long time. 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.

[B]

What's the damn deal? It's your boy, DJ Pre K with the John Clay Wolf Show. And I got a banger of a throwback for y' all today. So I'm sure y' all work y' all jobs. You know, you gotta work with a lot of different people, different personalities. Everybody's different, man. Some people are like milk, some people are like cookies, man. But what happens when you dip the cookie in the milk and the blow up? And our beloved baba would always complain about our dear, sweet auction coordinator, Brandi, who is just a pure Texas sweetheart who will downright kick your ass. And their back and forth has given me a lot of laughs. So let's take a listen to see what happens when two big personalities clash.

[C]

So what else is upsetting you at the office?

[A]

Nothing, really. It's. I haven't had a clear thought in, like, six weeks. Why? Well, six weeks, I'm kind of sharing an office. You know, I'm sharing an office space.

[C]

No, you're not. You have an office space that four people used to use, and you have it all to yourself now. Right.

[A]

And it used to be an empty hallway outside.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

And now we've got, you know, our auction.

[C]

You have a door and a window, and you have an office that had four people in it with a private bathroom. And now it's all yours.

[A]

You asked me, but you don't want me to answer the question.

[C]

Telling me you're lying.

[A]

No, but you're indicating. You're indicating that you don't want to hear my answer.

[C]

I'm indicating that you're lying. You're setting it up as a lie. You have, like, an executive office. You've got the best office, I think, here in the building. Yes, and the monster desk, but go ahead.

[A]

He wants his own name.

[C]

I just want people to know the truth, that he has this ridiculous suite, and now he's going to go ahead.

[A]

No, you're right, John. Nothing's wrong, okay? Your office is as big as the studio. You're right, jd. Gosh, I'm sorry.

[C]

He wants his own wing, so shut up. He doesn't want neighbors. That's what. That's the problem.

[A]

No, I'm okay with the neighbors, but thank God. God, they're loud.

[C]

Who's who's loud? Who's loud?

[A]

My best friend, Brandy.

[C]

Oh, the. Oh, Brandy. Brandy Sl.

[A]

She.

[C]

I. I mentioned it to her the other day, and she put up a divider like, it's like a Chinese wall.

[A]

She put up a Chinese screen like that keeps any of the noise in one of those paper screens.

[C]

What is she saying? Like what? Like, what did she do?

[A]

The girls in accounting complain because it's loud down there. I mean, it's just every. You know, and we move the girls in accounting downstairs. It's like. You say, Brandy's doing the Lord's work. I mean, she's doing the cars for the auction. That's the water that makes the whiske. Okay.

[C]

Correct.

[A]

So. And I, you know, we all got to work together. It's just a situation. They can't work at the auction office now because they've run all the employees of other companies out of there. Yeah. Because of the Corona. So. So they're here. But it's just. You'll be. You'll be working, and I work with sound, and I have to record sound. I have to go out and beg for silence. You know, guys, I'm gonna. I gotta record a vocal. I swear. I swear I can do it in three minutes.

[C]

Kel, please keep it down. Yeah, and then what happens?

[A]

Well, in three minutes, there's still music going, and they're still talking, and the phone's ringing. I go back out and say, please. And then it gets quiet. Then I can go. Then I forget what I was going to record.

[C]

And, like, are they yelling or something? What does it sound like? Give me an example of the sounds outside your executive suite.

[A]

You're working. Okay. And they're. I'm recording bits or whatever I'm doing. And out of nowhere, in the. In the general. Almost silence, right in front of my office, Brandy goes, steve. Cause Steve, you know, Steve down the hall, he's processing these cars and doing whatever he does. They work in a totally separate office. Okay. Rather than call Steve or walk down there just from the desk, Steve. And I don't know if he can hear or not. He's a little hard to hear, Right.

[C]

Does he come running when he hears her holler, hog collar.

[A]

So she yells again, steve. And that's. And that's okay, right. Yesterday in the afternoon, she came in. My daughter weren't down the hall, too, and she had come in to give me some bits for the, like, the car man winner announcement. And so Brandy came around the course. She said, y' all in here talking trash about Me. And we're like, what? No. What do you mean, ah. Cause I thought I heard you talk like that.

[C]

That is not how Brandy sounds.

[A]

Sorry. You suck at your jaw.

[C]

That sounds like Brandy. That sounds like Brandy.

[A]

More than. More than a couple times yesterday, she said, I hate when you talk like me. You make me sound like Forrest Gump. I'm like, it's not a Forrest Gump thing. So now if I say anything, like, hard and heavy, she thinks I'm doing the Brandy voice. Oh. And I'm not. It's just. I said, brandi, it's like, please don't be offended. It's like an archetypal. It's just a caricature of your voice. This is what I do. Brandi is in a position where I'm sure you'll agree Brandy is almost kind of, like, protected in this business. I mean, we couldn't do what we do. She's a made man without Brandy. Right. You know, she's what we refer to as a friend of ours.

[C]

You got Brandy, you got Connie, you got the maid chicks. Most people have made men. I've made women.

[A]

Right. And I'm not. When I first came down here and you were like, jennifer, I can't work in an office with you, Bobbo. Frankie, you're just. You're just too damn loud. Right, right, right. And it's. It's kind of like that. And we. We work together anyway. In fact, that's when you kind of stopped working in the office to an extent. Until I moved down the hall. Right, right. So. God, they're loud.

[C]

The loud phone calls, too, or every

[A]

phone call is a speaker phone call. I've heard her talk to you on the speaker. I hear. Talk to everybody. I hear the person on the other end. I hear Brandi. And she doesn't talk to the phone. She yells at the phone.

[C]

What's a call with you deferred recently?

[A]

Her. Her ringtone is, like, from Animal House. It's, you know.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

Hey, you get them tires while they're working on the tires? How many did you want? The four. Did you want all the eight of them? How. Which vehicles? It's for the Camaro. The Camaro. Steve, you know.

[C]

Does John call her, too?

[A]

Yeah, Hello? Hey, Brandy, listen, somebody said you're making a lot of noise down there. Are you. You all right? What's going on? No, I'm just doing what? I got a lot of cars put in this morning. Marco, get them trucks up there. No, it's all right, John. I got everything I Need. So the girls in the office said, are you cooking down there? Did you. Did you. Are you. Are you grilling? Stop it. Well, we're making some hamburgers. Yeah, but you can't grill inside, Brandy. Why not? Because the smoke's gonna kill everybody. Well, I'm sorry. Everybody around here's a big sassy. Well, I'll bet they'll eat a hamburger.

[C]

God, you're so.

[A]

What the hell do you want? She's gonna kill. Please take your grill outside.

[C]

We'll play this in court.

[A]

Don't cook in the office. Ch it off. And try to keep it down. What do you mean, keep it down? Oh, my Lord.

[C]

I told you I need to be back in my old office in Dallas.

[A]

Stay.

[C]

Oh, God. It might be the greatest episode of the Office ever.

[A]

Ever.

[C]

And I've called the guys at the auction, like, you gotta give us these offices back, per corporate policy. Corona. But you let the dealers back in. I mean, we've gotta get those offices back.

[A]

Attention, el senor se senoritas. Here we go. Es no locacion for los trabajos de automobilia. Buenas noches.

[C]

Good night, angel, if you're listening, you got to fix this. Yeah, you're driving Bobbo nuts. And Brandy.

[A]

Yeah, both of them.

[C]

No, no, no, no. They drive each other nuts. They love each other, but they drive each other nuts. Cuz. See, Bobbo, if Brandy was here, and I would love for her to call in and give her side of the story because she has a very entertaining take on Babo's world with his speakers.

[A]

I'll bet she does.

[C]

And he's playing these. So he's creating audio all week, and he's jamming it over the speakers, and she's like, can he just use headphones? Is there a reason the man cannot wear headphones? I wear headphones. Why does he have to blast his audio throughout the entire office where we can't talk and communicate?
