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.

[Co-host]

You've talked about stripper cars before.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, I think it's a subject that I think is very entertaining.

[Co-host]

You know, the ladies who get into that business, I think a lot of them maybe have made some mistakes along the way somewhere.

[John Clay Wolf]

[Co-host]

And it probably goes along with the stereotypical vehicle.

[John Clay Wolf]

The yellow Chevrolet Corvette is the ultimate pinnacle. It's like a stripper Grammy.

[Co-host]

So have you. That's when you know you've made it.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's when you.

[Co-host]

Like an 81. That's kind of.

[John Clay Wolf]

No.

[Co-host]

Got some Bondo to get the Grammy.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know, the Oscar of stripper stardom, you got to have a yellow Corvette. And a yellow Corvette convertible is like a platinum Oscar. And then you move down to these sports cars, the eclipse, of course, Z28, the Camaro is. Is a staple in the industry. T tops, you know.

[Co-host]

So you're telling me you could roll into a strip club parking lot, you can tell me who were people and what they're making? Oh, sure, yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Absolutely. By being in the car business as long as I have. Absolutely. You can. You can pop sports cars. Love Two door sports cars. And you can tell which ones are seasoned veterans, which ones are overweight, which ones are. Because their pay is obviously based off of this. Yeah.

[Co-host]

And the, the ones that work in Monday from noon to 3 or noon to 5 or whatever, they're the, they're driving the pickup and stuff.

[John Clay Wolf]

The convertible LeBaron is new at the game or needs to exit the game.

[Co-host]

Yeah. On their way out.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right. The convertible LeBaron was a very prosperous stripper car back in like 85, back.

[Co-host]

When she was too.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right.

[Co-host]

But, but you know.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, the Camaro, the Corvette, the Clips, there's more. Eclipse. Eclipse got real popular there for a while. Anything two door and sporty seems to fit the bill.

[Co-host]

Now are these.

[John Clay Wolf]

And I don't understand that because they're all mothers. That's why they're doing it.

[Co-host]

They need something to haul the kids in.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, but two door sports cars are.

[Co-host]

Not, you know, you put a child seat in the back seat of that.

[John Clay Wolf]

You can, but it just doesn't, it. They. There's an easier way to do it. It's called four door car, but it just doesn't put off the vibe. So back these up. A listener sent in stripper names. Best stripper names.

[Co-host]

Now what, what about ladies who are not strippers who have these names? Because these are common names. I mean people are named these things. But they, but you're right. I mean, they're right. They make good stripper names too. I guess. Maybe it's a compliment.

[John Clay Wolf]

It could be. Why does this have to be all bad? Why does this have to be in a bad negative light? Negative connotation. This isn't bad.

[Co-host]

Well, it's not the subject. No, I'm not, I'm not talking about the subject. I'm just talking about, you know, the number one stripper.

[John Clay Wolf]

Why does everybody have to be so sensitive there?

[Co-host]

You have an employee here at Wilford Dodge who has the number one stripper name.

[John Clay Wolf]

Spells it differently.

[Co-host]

Ah, that's the key.

[DJ Prek]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, this candy is a candy. That is a Candice Candace. Okay, I'm betting that the number one best stripper name voted 6400 times on unspawn unspun.com is candy. Number two is Bambi. Number three is Crystal. Four, Tiffany. Five, Brandy, Destiny, Ginger, Lola, Angel, Star, Amber, Bubbles.

[Co-host]

Oh, wow, I can't believe that one's.

[John Clay Wolf]

Jenna, Bunny, Jessica, Chastity, Cherry, Misty, diamond. Diamond. Number 21, Mercedes, Sugar, Daisy, Rose, Trixie, Sparkle, Asia. On the main stage, Britney, Jewel. Whoa, hello galore.

[Show Narrator]

Don't call that one.

[John Clay Wolf]

Princess Peaches, Samantha, Alexis, Sierra Flower, Lolita. Jade. I don't think they're hitting these in the right order.

[Co-host]

You think they. You. You.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, Jade's way higher up there. And Diamond's way. Hang on, you're killing.

[Co-host]

Oh, I'm sorry.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, no, you're there. You're there. Jade's higher up on the list than 39. Tawny, Lulu, Mindy, Starlight. Lulu? Lulu. I haven't heard of Lulu. Vanessa, Summer, Gypsy Rose Lee.

[Co-host]

You gotta love that Lexus. That's a new one.

[John Clay Wolf]

Lexus is way. Okay, let me get through this.

[DJ Prek]

Sky.

[John Clay Wolf]

On this list, sky is number 47. I can guarantee you I've heard that name announced in a. In a topless joint and I haven't been to many, several times. More than these other. More than Tawny. So for sky to be number 47. I'm completely questioning the accuracy of this poll. Lexus, number 49 out of 50. No, wait, Lexus is top 10 guys out there. You're nodding your head. You know I'm right. Lexus is a top 10 stripper name. Lexus drives the convertible Corvette.

[Co-host]

Oh, wow.

[DJ Prek]

Yeah.

[Co-host]

She's the main headliner.

[DJ Prek]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Lexus is the deal. I don't think that you can just. I think you have to get your name approved by management to call yourself Lexus.

[Co-host]

Oh, you can't just go in there and say, hey, I'm Lexus. I want to dance. And they're like, no, no, you're not. But you're not Lex.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right, Exactly.

[Co-host]

We'll come in a Tuesday afternoon.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. No, in order to have the name Lexus, Cheyenne, you know, Raven is like a. Raven goes with a Camaro. Yeah. Lexus is driving a.

[Co-host]

She's got the Corvette.

[DJ Prek]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Or driving some guy, some old boys Benz.

[Co-host]

Makes sense.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. For Lexus to be number 49 on this poll, I don't know, it just lost a lot of credibility with me.
