The John Clay Wolfe Show

Episode: JCW ARCHIVE: Porsche & Mercedes

Date: February 13, 2026
Main Theme:
A humorous, freewheeling conversation exploring the intersection of cars and “stripper culture”—specifically the cars frequently associated with exotic dancers and a lighthearted rundown of the most popular stripper names.

Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. “Stripper Cars”: Stereotypes and Observations

• Origins of the Topic: The conversation kicks off with a playful inquiry into the kinds of cars associated with exotic dancers and how recognizable these vehicles become over time.
• “The Pinnacle Ride”:
  • John Clay Wolf: “The yellow Chevrolet Corvette is the ultimate pinnacle. It's like a stripper Grammy.” (01:48)
    • Further Clarification: A yellow Corvette convertible is considered even more prestigious—a "platinum Oscar" of the strip club world.
  • Supporting Examples: Other cars pegged as stripper staples include the Mitsubishi Eclipse, Chevy Camaro (often with T-tops), and a throwback mention: the convertible Chrysler LeBaron from “back in like ’85.”
    • John Clay Wolf: “The convertible LeBaron is new at the game or needs to exit the game.” (02:54)
• Vehicle as a Status Symbol:
  • It’s suggested that the car an entertainer drives can indicate their experience level and income.
  • Co-host: “You can roll into a strip club parking lot, you can tell me who were people and what they're making?” (02:24)
    • John Clay Wolf: “Absolutely. By being in the car business as long as I have. Absolutely.” (02:32)
• Social Commentary:
  • The hosts note the impracticality but persistent allure of two-door sports cars, joking, “Two door sports cars are...not, you know, you put a child seat in the back seat of that.” (03:37)
  • John Clay Wolf: “They need something to haul the kids in...but it just doesn't put off the vibe.” (03:36)

2. “Best Stripper Names”—A Playful Poll

• Listener Participation: A list of the “top stripper names” submitted by listeners is introduced, blurring the line between joke and earnest analysis.
• Discussion on Name Stereotypes:
  • The co-hosts laugh about how many common first names double as “classic” stripper names and how it shouldn’t always be taken negatively.
    • Co-host: “What about ladies who are not strippers who have these names? ...Maybe it's a compliment.” (03:50)
    • John Clay Wolf: “Why does this have to be all bad? Why does this have to be in a bad negative light?” (04:01)
• Top Names (from unspun.com, as cited):
  1. Candy
  2. Bambi
  3. Crystal
  4. Tiffany
  5. Brandy
  6. Destiny
  7. Ginger
  8. Lola
  9. Angel
  10. Star
  • The list continues with Amber, Bubbles, Jenna, Bunny, Jessica, Chastity, Cherry, Misty, Diamond, Mercedes, Sugar, Daisy, Rose, Trixie, Sparkle, Asia, Britney, Jewel, Princess, Peaches, Samantha, Alexis, Sierra, Flower, Lolita, Jade, Tawny, Lulu, Mindy, Starlight, Vanessa, Summer, Gypsy Rose Lee, and more.
  • Notable Commentary:
    • John Clay Wolf: “I'm betting that the number one best stripper name voted 6400 times on unspawn unspun.com is Candy.” (04:23)
    • He expresses disbelief at the low ranking of perennial favorites like Jade and Diamond: “Jade's way higher up there. And Diamond's way...hang on, you're killing.”
    • Disagreement with the Poll: Wolf argues that “Lexus” and “Sky” are much more common on stage than their bottom-of-the-list placement suggests: “Lexus is a top 10 stripper name. Lexus drives the convertible Corvette.” (05:44)
      • “I think you have to get your name approved by management to call yourself Lexus.” (06:18)

3. Stripper Names and Cars: The Crossover

• The hosts riff on how certain names seem made for specific cars:
  • Raven: “Raven goes with a Camaro.” (06:41)
  • Lexus: Drives a Corvette or “some old boy’s Benz.” (06:47)
  • The imagery ties back to the show's playful theme—melding car culture with irreverent observations about the adult entertainment industry.
