JCW ARCHIVE: Sell That Bitch Origins
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.”
John has been buying and selling cars for a long time and when youve got this much experience you do it well and you do it with style! Our producer Turley grabbed some exclusive audio from John's hot mic during the auction and a slogan was born.
