Episode Overview

In this throwback episode of The John Clay Wolfe Show, the crew revisits classic tales from the ranch and the road—blending hilarious personal anecdotes, car culture, and irreverent banter. The main stories revolve around a wild four-wheeler accident involving John’s Swedish father-in-law, Lars, and Bobbo’s unforgettable night out, which allegedly included pop star Kelly Clarkson and resulted in literal frame damage to his beloved Camaro. As always, the tone is loose, raucous, and unfiltered (within FCC limits), with each storyteller riffing and ribbing the next.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Lars' Wild Four-Wheeler Adventure

Timestamps: 01:16 – 04:21

• The Set-Up: DJ Pre K sets the scene: Lars, John’s father-in-law (aka the “infamous Swedish pool shark”), has been tearing up John’s ranch on newly bought Polaris four-wheelers.
• Escalating Recklessness: Bobbo observes Lars’ increasingly aggressive riding:

  “His riding the four wheelers is getting a little faster and a little faster and a little faster over the month.” (01:49 – Bobbo)

• The Crash: Lars attempts to drift a downhill, 90-degree turn, loses control, and wrecks the four-wheeler into a fence at about 40 mph.

  “I see him and he’s flipping it back over… we had to dig pebbles out of his head.” (02:41 – Bobbo)

• Aftermath: Lars shrugs off injuries. There’s banter about helmet use:

  “No helmet. I’m like, Lars, when you’re riding the four wheeler, if you’re gonna ride like an a hole, you need to wear a helmet.” (03:40 – Bobbo)

• Release Forms & Risk: The conversation segues into anecdotes about past crashes, emphasizing why liability waivers are a must on ranch visits.

2. Bobbo’s “Frame Damage” Night with a Pop Idol

Timestamps: 04:21 – 07:41

• Transition: DJ Pre K moves the theme from “brain damage” to “frame damage.”
• Kelly Clarkson Wardrobe Malfunction:
  Banter about Kelly Clarkson’s wardrobe mishap during a live performance segues into Bobbo’s story:

  “Her shirt would have to come all the way off her boob to show. Yeah, she’s not…she’s curvy all over, except up top.” (05:04 – Bobbo)

• The Alleged Encounter: Lars (as Bobbo) recounts an encounter with a woman at karaoke who resembled Kelly Clarkson. After an adventurous night and a romp in his Camaro, he discovers the woman might have been the pop star herself.

  “I thought, she looks kind of familiar…And then I saw Kelly Clarkson on TV. I’m like, that looks just like the karaoke girl.” (06:48 – Lars)

• Car Trouble:
  Upon selling his Camaro, he’s told the car has “frame damage”—which he attributes to the vigorous, weighty tryst:

  “We were parked on a side road, right? You know, getting it on. And I heard like—and she’s a large girl. I don’t, I’m not embarrassed.” (07:13 – Lars) “She’s so fat, it bent the frame rail on your car, I think.” (07:32 – Bobbo)

• No Shame, No Proof: Listeners howl as Lars and Bobbo riff on the “biggest excuse for frame damage ever heard.”

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.

[DJ Pre K]

What's the deal? It's your boy DJ Pre K with the John Clay Wolf Show. Y' all know I'm in the archives, baby. And I got a two for one special today. John's father in law, Lars, the infamous Swedish pool shark, is having a blast on John's ranch, whipping those four wheelers like he stole them. Luckily, John has a keen sense of danger. Check this out.

[Bobbo]

So my father in law was in town for a month. Lars, Lars. Effing Lars. Everything's effing. F and effing. Because over in Europe they say F on the news, fuck on the radio.

[Lars]

Yeah.

[Bobbo]

So it's. We've got to remind him not to talk that way, but poor guy. So we have these, we're out here on a ranch. I'll know that where the studio is. And we've got a couple of four wheelers. Polaris, four wheelers. And I'm noticing his riding the four wheelers is getting a little faster and a little faster and a little faster over the month. The day before he leaves, we're literally sitting up at the house. He's. These four wheelers are great. You can just slide them and they won't fall over. I'm like, they will fall over. Nah, I've done it. I'm dressed. So he's gotten into drifting on these dirt roads. Okay. And he ran down to the shop down here from the house and it's a downhill run with a 90 degree turn up here. And I hear him take off out of the driveway. I'm working on a motorcycle in the garage and I hear. And then it just stopped.

[Lars]

Bad sign.

[Bobbo]

All of the noise just stopped. And I was kind of counting into my head. I'm like, he hasn't gone far enough to get to the shop yet. So I start hollering for him, Lars. Lars, you okay? Lars? I hear nothing. And I, and I wait a little while. I'm like, surely he didn't do it. I think he did. And I get down there, I jump on another four wheeler, run down and I see him and he's flipping it back over. But yeah, he, he was sliding sideways and he caught something and it threw him up. He hit the fence going about 40 and we had to dig pebbles out of his head. Is he okay? He's fine. He had a knot on his head and he had like little, little gravel in his, in his arm and, and he shook. He's a tough bastard. He shook it off. Four wheeler's not very. Four wheeler's seen his better days. Oh, we just got those things new at Christmas time. I'll get you a new one. I don't need a new one. Maybe. But he ripped the front cap off of it. I'm like, we'll get it fixed, don't worry. I'm just glad you're all right. No helmet. No helmet. I'm like, Lars, when you're riding the four wheeler, if you're gonna ride like an a hole, you need to wear a helmet. Don't you read the sign? If you're right, if you're riding like a jerk, then wear a helmet. You should wear a helmet all the time anyway. Yeah, but you know, if you're going to air one out, you need to prepare anyway. That was my story of my father in law almost dying. Could have been so much worse. You know, washable flipped one over on the trail just upside down. Pictures. Yeah, that's two four wheeler wrecks your buddies. And that's why people sign a release when they come back. Right.

[DJ Pre K]

From brain damage to frame damage, Bobbo's reminded of a time when a former pop idol allegedly gave him a night he nor the frame of his Camaro will never forget. Peep this.

[Bobbo]

Hey, what about Kelly Clarkson? She had a wardrobe malfunction. A little emergency moment during a recent live show. This is actually audio from what might have been a little wardrobe malfunction. It happened at one point during the show. Michael cut number 11.

[John Clay Wolf]

Wait, hold on.

[Bobbo]

Should I fix that?

[John Clay Wolf]

I think my boob's Showing.

[Lars]

Oh, you gotta love Kelly Clarkson.

[Bobbo]

Her shirt would have to come all the way off her boob to show. Yeah, she's not, she's not, she's not. She's. Wait a minute. Watch yourself, watch yourself. She's curvy all over, except up top.

[Lars]

Of memory Frame damage.

[Lars]

Frame damage.

[Bobbo]

Oh, Bobbo had a night with Kelly Clarkson and whatever killed him made him stronger. Killed his car, that's for sure. What was the story of that?

[Lars]

Reportedly, I ran into a gal when I was driving my Camaro that I sold to. Give me the vin.com right in the market, by the way. Very easy, very easy to do with Frame James. And we were singing karaoke together. And she had a beautiful voice, the gal. I thought, she looks kind of familiar. This is a couple years ago. And I, she was going to call an Uber and I said, hey, I'll give you a ride home, you know, which I probably. Anyway, so we head that way and we, we made a little stop off and we're getting it on. You know, it was wild. Crazy about the girl. And then I took her home and it's like a million dollar mansion looking down like, oh, no, this is a married gal. There's something going on, you know, So I, you know, politely, politely walked her to the door and left. And then I saw Kelly Clarkson tv. I'm like, that look, that looks just like the karaoke girl.

[Bobbo]

Yeah.

[Lars]

And then when I sold my car to give me the van, they came back and they said, you know, you, you got. There's a frame damage, no taste on your car. And I'm like, oh, yeah, I remember that because we, you know, we were parked on a side road, right? You know, getting it on. And I heard like, and she's a large girl. I don't, I'm not embarrassed. And that is.

[Bobbo]

Talk about the big girl. Watch yourself. Watch yourself, buddy.

[Lars]

I'm just saying because I mean, you know, that's my time. And yeah, I could hear the frame damage and I didn't think anything. I thought Maybe it was a seed or something. You know, cars make noise sometimes when you're moving that way.

[Bobbo]

She's so fat, it bent the frame rail on your car, I think.

[Lars]

I think possibly.

[Bobbo]

So. That's the greatest excuse to have frame damage I've ever heard. Ever. Ever.
