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 d***, we found something funny.
And yes, it's contagious.
Gather round as the Wolf Pack goes on this throwback adventure.
What's the damn deal is your boy DJ Pre-K with the John Clay Wolf Show.
Happy Halloween, man.
I'm up in the archives, and look, we love our fans, but some of y'all are some wild characters.
I don't know what one of y'all said to John to cause this nightmare, but I don't think he'll ever be the same.
John even tried to reenact this nightmare by having fans call in to say whatever.
Luckily, our phones had a tech issue.
Check it out.
I had the weirdest dreams last night.
What happened?
I woke up.
We need to do a better show.
Okay.
What?
Okay.
We should do better.
So what are the bad dreams about?
You said you had bad dreams.
Yeah.
So we were on the air and I was having like a meltdown because it was it was getting really, really bad.
And and and everybody was like getting on the radio, like the crowd and nobody cared.
And then they cared about the show.
But like like you guys were doing other things.
And like so like strangers, you know, like the people who come up to you at
like the car event last weekend and like there's some that bug you shut up because they know it all.
Yeah.
They just came up and got a microphone and I couldn't stop it.
Well, that's awesome.
Wow, it would be so funny.
Live open mic.
Just randomly.
Yeah.
That would be terrible.
Hey, John, you know, my cousin and George introduced me to the show and and we go
slot pigs early in the sunrise and we have you on.
But one day I didn't have him with me and I saw this pig looking at me and you are playing
just this special song from the car since you're gone.
And I decided to make love to the pig and she allowed it.
And then my wife came up and saw me and took a picture and put it on Facebook drove
all the way here from Georgia to your event here today to let you know that your show has
completely inspired my life and completely ruined my life all in the same sentence.
That's so accurate to the people that walk up during the events.
It's so accurate.
It's deep stuff, man.
How you do it for four or five, six hours.
It's deep.
It's deep.
I'm like, wow.
Get out of here.
It's they never really scared a pig and your old lady got you.
They never disappoint you.
None of those things and people look you up and you're like, yep.
You know, so I'm sitting there on the radio and we're out all the 50 stations.
We've got to be responsible for it.
And then like five of those people got on it once and I couldn't stop it.
So like when I got off, I was like, I know we're canceled.
I know we're canceled.
We're finally canceled.
They've been threatening to cancel for years and it's finally over.
That was it.
And then my alarm went off.
Like, oh, my God, I got to get up better work today.
We're not canceled yet.
So let's do a real good show.
So that doesn't happen.
You just want to open up the phones and just take calls.
Yes, yes, yes, please.
Eight hundred eight.
Let's recreate my dream.
I think that's a hangover from the show last week and from the car show
because there are so many people walk up in so many stories.
So many.
Everybody has a story.
Eight hundred, eight hundred, seven, two, three, four, eight hundred,
eight hundred radio.
Please call in right now and tell us how this show has inspired your life
and any bestialities all on limits.
Oh, God.
Oh, no.
And what you thought of the car show, which was so much fun.
That's right.
Hang on, JD.
Hang on, I'm almost there.
Oh, I blew it off.
I don't know, go ahead.
Oh, man.
It's the first bit of the game.
Well, I'm glad you feel that way.
Are you having napkins?
Oh, God, yeah.
You just went a little far there.
Hit the lamp.
Just a little far.
So much for off to a flying start, John.
Not going to get kicked off, no.
No, not anymore.
Jamie, Christmas.
Is this the first time you've had like a radio nightmare?
Yes, because it's a normal deal.
Oh, my God.
You can't find that.
That's your first radio nightmare.
You can't find that record, JD.
And you've got to have precisely four minutes, 35 seconds.
And there's nothing.
And you look around.
There's no records now.
There's none.
Where are the records?
We're all the records.
What am I going to do?
Yeah, everybody else on those stations
seems to be able to find the records.
But I can't get anybody turned on.
The lights aren't working.
I mean, there's that.
Yeah, there's I can't.
Oh, soundboard nightmares.
Yes, yes, yes.
It's John's first radio nightmare after 20 years.
No, this is the second radio nightmare.
We've had two people call in to tell us their pick stories
and pre-K can't get them screened.
It's hard.
It's hard.
I mean, that ASIL, you know, fifth grade education,
they quit too early before they taught phone screening.
Look, shout out to ASIL High School.
They did a great job with me, man.
I'm here with y'all.
That's right.
I made it to the big town.
I made it.
I did it.
Doreen, what's up?
Oh, Pittsburgh.
I'm looking forward to hearing people talk
about their bad dreams and Gigi interpret it.
Thank you, Doreen.
Gigi, what is the interpretation
of my radio nightmare?
I mean, just it worked too much.
You know what I mean?
None of sex, not enough food, too much booze,
none of sleep.
That's what it is.
You work too much.
You think about it even when you're not thinking about it.
So I like your dreams.
They're funny.
You think it's healthy when people have nightmares, Gigi?
Well, you have nightmares by things that are caught
in the recesses of your mind.
Sometimes they mean things
like the other one you had a couple of months ago
and other times it's just that you're overwhelmed.
My brother at the end,
right before my alarm went off,
no joke, he had a panda baby on a leash
and he came and sat down in the studio
and started talking to, and I couldn't stop it.
And the panda got up on the studio console
and walked over and started licking me.
That's cute.
And I'm like, what do I do?
Is he gonna kill me though?
Is the panda gonna kill me or is he gonna lick me?
Because I saw it like somebody else
before it came over to me.
And it was kind of just like a dog size, it was a baby.
So what's that mean, Gigi?
Well, I mean, you think about it,
your dream is set in the studio
and everything's going on around the studio.
But he's out of control.
I think he's out of control.
People are talking to his brothers in here.
With a panda.
With a panda?
Come on, you gotta be more to it than that.
Is this the panda right here?
God, oh wow, no, no.
Don't be alarmed, John.
I just want to try on a set of those headphones.
They look cool.
Even Bobo looks cool with headphones.
Bobo never looks cool.
See, you can't control the show.
Greg in Virginia, good morning, you're there.
Hey, good morning, I've been listening to you guys.
2015, did you start here?
Oh yeah.

because now I drink at eight o'clock in the morning
