How did you sleep through people banging on the door? It's only 50ft.

[John Clay Wolf]

I must have been extremely tired.

[Turley]

Wow.

[Bobbo]

Or there's a lot of natty lights laying around. Pizza boxes.

[John Clay Wolf]

I. I came in about 11 last night. I had a couple of tall boys. Okay, very nice. Domino's pizza. And hit the rack.

[Turley]

You were in a carb crash.

[John Clay Wolf]

And I heard my phone ringing. It was about 5:30. And so I got up and unlocked the door and went back to bed.

[Turley]

Well.

[John Clay Wolf]

And the phone kept ringing and ringing and ringing. So I finally answered.

[Turley]

Rude.

[John Clay Wolf]

People turning goes, dude, are you alive?

[Bobbo]

Seriously? It crossed my mind.

[Turley]

I was like, yeah, of course it would. What if Bob was dead in there?

[Bobbo]

How are we gonna do the show? Because we can't get in.

[Turley]

Your first thought is, damn, how are we gonna do the show? That's gonna put a real download on the show today.

[John Clay Wolf]

And it just encourages me.

[Turley]

We'll get over it. But what's gonna happen for Tony Romo's dad?

[John Clay Wolf]

If you're in here, you can actually leave the key outside because the lock works from in here.

[Turley]

Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

So that's what I should have done.

[Turley]

Yes. You know, in the future, we have.

[John Clay Wolf]

Learned something in six years of working in this facility. I just figured that out. But I used to have a key. Well, so we, you know, we. Yeah, we juggle as best we can. And I looked at my phone and my phone's just all but dead. And Turley called me. I'm not lying. 45 times.

[Turley]

Well, he's trying to get in.

[John Clay Wolf]

Every time my phone rings, it does the Kill Bill whistle, you know.

[Bobbo]

How do you sleep?

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't know.

[Bobbo]

How does he sleep through A alarm that went off for a minute.

[Turley]

Yeah.

[Security Personnel]

Who set the alarm off?

[Bobbo]

I did, on purpose because I was trying to wake Bobbo up because he was locked up in here.

[Security Personnel]

He had the key and he didn't wake up.

[Turley]

Couldn't get in to do the show.

[John Clay Wolf]

I was comfortable.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. Turley has a deal. Turley can control the alarm from his home.

[Security Personnel]

We've all learned.

[John Clay Wolf]

So we made an arrangement. He said, I'll leave the key and just call me when you get there and I'll turn it off. Well, I called Turley three times, and I didn't get him. So I thought, well, and it was dark. You know, the panel was dark in here. So I thought, well, he's already done it. He's already turned it off.

[Security Personnel]

He set it off at 11:14. 11:14 last night.

[John Clay Wolf]

No.

[Bobbo]

Never saw at 5 in the morning. They sure the hell did.

[Security Personnel]

And that cost me. So, Bob, you're gonna get to write a checky check for that.

[Turley]

Doesn't when the cops show up cost you?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. No. Yeah.

[Bobbo]

No, man. They got their money's worth too. They 75 bucks after they were done.

[Security Personnel]

They literally stood out there for about 30 minutes just chatting.

[Security Personnel]

Another 75.

Where are they gonna go there, 5:30 in the morning?

[Security Personnel]

Bob, do you. Do you have a. Do you use a debit or a credit card?

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, it depends.

[Security Personnel]

On what?

[Turley]

Who he's paying.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right. Depends who I'm paying.

[Security Personnel]

Hey, John, you mind if I crash the studio tomorrow night? Not at all. But dude. Hey, John, do you mind if I come. Come into the studio all drunk and wake you up twice in the middle of the night and wake up early and set off alarms and have the police come and bill your account? Yes, Bobbo, I do mine. Please don't do that.

[John Clay Wolf]

I think you're over emoting a bit.

[Turley]

Next time ask the whole question, Bobo.

[John Clay Wolf]

But we didn't have policemen last. Last night.

[Security Personnel]

This morning.

[Turley]

This is your. This is your claim to fame this morning?

[Security Personnel]

Well, when you decide to use the police officers as Babo's wake up alarm.

[John Clay Wolf]

And even they couldn't do it.

[Bobbo]

No.

[John Clay Wolf]

They should have fired a shot into the air.

[Turley]

Yeah, I would have done it.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'd have heard that.

[Turley]

Yeah.
