About this episode
A Tuesday morning auction at Metro Auto Auction Dallas becomes the origin point for John Clay Wolfe’s “sell that b—ch” slogan. The hosts cue up the earliest recorded auction-block audio, starting with the first car out of the gate, “a number one.” John explains he was talking to simulcast dealers at their desks without broadcasting over the main speaker, so only simulcast listeners could hear him. The clip’s high-energy profanity lands with the line: “Oh, you think what you do, you think we should sell that bitch, bitch.”

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**k, 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 ya boi DJ Pre-K with the John Clay Wolf Show just digging around
in the archives and not even found a real gym, okay?
Now, I've worked at the auctions with John before, and it's a fast-paced, high-energy
environment and totally had the foresight to grab some audio from the heat of the moment,
and a slogan was born.
Everybody knows it, everybody loves it, here are the origins of sell that b**ch.
Check it out.
JCW at Auction Audio.
What is that?
Well, yeah, John, if you want to do it here, we could do it in the nine o'clock hour.
But you, I don't know if you know this, but you're broadcasting while you're doing the
auction now.
Oh, while we're selling?
Yeah, while you're selling.
I know on broadcast, of course, I'm talking down-line to the stream people on the closed
circuit that are the dealers only.
Well, if it's audio out there and something I can grab, I just happen to be rolling while
John was out there.
Hang on.
It's entertaining, folks.
Is it?
It's very entertaining.
I guess dealers are really the only ones that can hear it for now.
Dealers, I cuss a lot on that.
Yes, yeah, I didn't use them.
There's only one that you kind of cuss, and we could play at that part, but there's others
that just, yeah, you're- Did you just bleep it or just cut it?
I didn't even pull that one.
There's some of them that are just a little bit too risque.
So this is me on the auction block selling the cars on a Tuesday morning at Metro Auto
Auction Dallas.
Yes, so this first clip, it's a whole- It just sets it up right here.
This is the very first car that comes out of the gate.
A number one.
Yes, you get the energy that John's bringing in.
I have never heard this, JD.
Is this good?
Am I going to be embarrassed?
No, I don't know.
Maybe a little bit?
Maybe a little bit.
Is as embarrassed as Deena putting up a picture of her in her underwear in a minute?
There may be people thinking that you're on a substance while you're doing this.
Really?
Yeah, I can't wait to hear it.
Okay, everybody get there on over here.
We're going to do the same.
You've heard all the announcements.
Send to all the news and tell us we got John Bolton running over here.
Give me the band.
I have to send in Southern Building.
Y'all get around and help yourself.
Did you see how many miles are on this O4 Honda?
Let me bring that first one up, please.
Here we go.
A1 is going to be a number to buy.
And tell me, did you look at the miles on this one?
30.
Clean car facts.
30,000 miles.
I'll kiss your ass.
Not on the dealer right there in the political mind.
You go, sound down.
Are the guys online?
Going to get serious and get something done.
Quit being a bunch of catfish bottom beaters.
It sounds like it's making money.
So you sell there.
That's just what a little touch of it.
So I've got a headset on with a mic.
And I just started doing this talking to the online simulcast audience to my...
Who's watching that?
Dealers.
All over the country.
Anywhere in the country.
Anywhere outside the country.
Okay.
If you're a dealer, you can go to Metro Auto Action and log in and do Lane A and you can
watch our...
You can buy our cars.
Okay, gotcha.
And I'm talking to the guys and then they text, they write to the block clerk next to
me and I can see what their questions are and I can talk.
So I came up with this idea, what if I can talk to the simulcast people, they're sitting
at their desk and I don't want it to come over the speaker.
So nobody hears what I'm saying except the people on simulcast.
Gotcha.
Well, when John sells something, he gets really excited.
He has a good example of that.
Oh, you think what you do, you think we should sell that bitch,
bitch, sell that bitch.
Thank God.
Boy.
I have a rubber hose.
Yeah.
And I slam it against the counter.
Oh my God.
Yeah, I'm there to sell the cars.
I mean, if they lose money, I'm gonna sell them.
If I'm gonna make money, we run an average and that's why I'm screaming to let everybody
know, stay tight, stay close because you're gonna, if there's a deal to be had, you're
gonna get it.
Well, and you're also doing a comedy routine too.
Listen to this.
Don't these cars are pure as I was when I was 12 years old.
Here's John.
I was 12.
Here I thought.
And so, and it's funny because dope repeats everything that John said, everything.
Everything?
Yeah.
Sometimes it gets in trouble there.
We'll just go stick with that one right there for the whole day.
Okay, that's good.
But yeah.
How fun.
Is there more of that later?
Well, now there's like four hours of this stuff, so we got plenty to go for the next
week's show.
I wouldn't pay to watch this.
We need to, and I was thinking we need to stream this to the public.
