LIVE
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 Preakay with the John Clay Wolf Show up in the
archives, and I want to give a shout out to our man, Uncle Roy.
He's retired now, but he was a source for good game for John for, well, all his damn life.
From loving the ladies to making the money, Roy set the tone.
Let's see what knowledge he can drop on us.
Check it out.
I had to go find Uncle Roy.
Yes, huh?
There he is.
Good morning, Roy.
A lot of people don't know who Uncle Roy is, and he's been around a long time,
but I wanted to ask him what it's like this week, moving these cars around in the snow,
because I know it's tough.
And Uncle Roy's had escapades over the years where he gets to customers' houses and they'd
put the delivery, the ladies will put the delivery switch on him.
Oh, really?
Yes.
Oh, really?
He can be in high demand at times.
While you're here picking up the Chevy.
Roy, you there?
Roy, you there?
Nope.
Yeah, you there?
Yeah, just talk right here like this, right in front of that one.
You there?
Right there.
Perfect.
Say something.
Say hello.
Hello.
There it is.
You're acting like you hadn't been on the radio before, man.
The little screen is, but we have a little pop screen and that's blowing him.
So that, no, that ain't nothing.
So what's been moving around, so Roy runs our drive team at GiveMeTheVin.com and
he manages the drivers and the pickups at people's homes.
Did y'all just stop all week?
Did you stop all week?
No, say again?
Did y'all just stop all week?
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
I can see you now.
Is today your first day back?
We came back yesterday, but it's still too bad.
I got you.
So Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, you're like the male.
Nothing happened?
Nothing happened.
Nothing happened.
Nothing at all?
Nothing at all.
So JD, do you remember about, I don't know, five years ago, four years ago when he was
over in Dallas and he was picking, I remember the car, Roy, you remember the car?
The Hummer?
H1?
H2?
From that lady and she brought you in and said, hey, why don't you stay for
a while?
Hey, you look thirsty.
Hey, you look hungry.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Damn, it's no big deal.
Oh yeah, that time.
It happens a lot.
I ain't had no action this week, though.
This week?
I can't know.
You had two stops, one on the beach, seven hours away and one here, that Hummer
deal where that lady got up on you and then the one down in Corpus.
I think the one in Corpus was the best.
I think it was the best.
You can tell your own story.
Do you remember the details?
I remember.
My nerves just wouldn't take it.
It just wouldn't take it.
Yeah, when I got to the airport, she sent a taxi and picked me up.
She gets to her house.
She's full of been paying the tab.
And so I'm waiting on her to pay the tab, so she called in and she walks in
and nothing but a robot.
I said, oh my God, give me a credit card and all this, get a later tip.
I goes back in and sit down and she's sitting down with, we finna eat breakfast.
No, we ain't finna eat breakfast.
We finna get out of here.
My nerve left me.
So you fled the interview.
Yes, yes.
But that's not like you for your nerves to leave you.
Hey, but man, I was in no man land.
Right.
I ain't got nobody to call, nobody for backup, I ain't got nobody for nothing.
And she had a lot of workers out there and they all just sterned at me so I
ain't know what was going on.
But they all did.
Yeah, they all knew what was going on.
Here comes another one.
Right.
Here comes another one.
I mean, when I was a kid, you did not, I mean, you had nerves to steal.
Oh, it ain't good.
It was good.
Because I used to go to work at my dad's construction company and I'd ride with Rory.
Hell, we'd get out of the driveway of the shop and we'd switch seats and I'd
drive him when I was about, I don't know, 11.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But we'd stop by, he had this gal that we would stop by her apartment and I would
sit in the living room in the apartment and he'd take her to the to the woodshed in
the bedroom.
Hmm.
No good day there, man.
This is a good day.
Oh, you're smart.
You weren't on your footing, your ground, like any good, you know, any good assault.
Oh, yeah, I was on my ground.
Yeah, you were on your ground.
But down there in Corpus, nah.
Nah, that was a long way to my home, man, and I was lost.
Oh, my God.
How did you get up here to Texas?
To me?
Yeah.
Well, one of my cousins was working for your granddaddy.
Yeah.
He came to Mississippi and got drunk and he had to be to work for the next day.
So he told me, driving him back over here and he'll put me on the bus.
How far does it drive?
It's a mile.
So he drove you from Mississippi to Dowsford Worth?
I drove him from Mississippi to Dowsford Worth.
Because he was too drunk to get home?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then what happened?
But he's going to put me on the bus and send me back.
So he said, I'll put you on the bus when I get out and work and see you.
So when you get out and work, you come on.
So I got you a job.
That's history.
What year was that?
68.
And you're still here working for?
John Will.
But I mean, I wasn't the guy in 60.
I wasn't born yet.
No, you wouldn't.
So that was my grandfather.
Yeah, that was your grandfather.
Yeah.
Not your dad.
No, that's the part you meant.
Yeah, he skipped it.
So one of my granddad's employees, a backhoe operator, went to his, Roy's
home town where he lived, got drunk.
So sick he couldn't make it home.
Roy drove him back to his job seven hours up the street, up the highway.
And then Roy started working for my granddad that day.
That day.
68.
Wow.
So he's been around a while.
So wait a minute.
You've been around since before John was born?
Yeah.
Wow.
I mean, I knew you guys went back.
Way back.
I got way back.
That's some great stories too.
That's why you call him Uncle Roy.
Right, right, right, right, right, right, right.
So, so when I started working at the company, my dad was like, well,
who do I trust the most with my son?
And he gave me to Roy.
So I would go, you know, I don't know when I was like in third grade,
I'd start punching the clock on the, on the Christmas holidays in summer.
And I would be on a crew.
And I was on Roy's crew.
He paid me.
Hell, he paid me $8 an hour.
Wow.
I don't tell him, don't tell anybody what you're making.
He was, he was making just as much as anybody else.
And probably doing the job.
I mean, I could do it, but I'd also take his truck and go find,
you know, woods and go sleep during the day in the,
like on the job sites.
Yeah.
Take, get in the truck and I just go drive it, drive it, drive it.
I was driving all the time, just trying to learn how to drive.
But I'd go find a cool spot under a tree and sleep for a little bit
under with the air conditioning on.
Well, just because you're on the clock doesn't mean you got stuff to do.
You know, you get tired on the clock.
You need to rest on the clock.
One day, you know, we did a job over on Greenville Avenue.
We stayed over there about a month and a half, two months.
So, you know, that's where the girls hang out on Greenville Avenue.
Sure.
So we ride down through there in the morning and see what we can.
We see, you know, we spotter, you know.
And so I missed my truck about 11 o'clock one day.
I said, what is this?
The world is not during the truck.
And I said, where's John?
Nobody knows where John is.
About 20 minutes here, he come driving on.
I jumped right in the middle here.
He went on and see what's in the girls down there.
So we can go through there for lunch.
I said, Brincon.
Yeah.
He's your point man.
I said, God, he wrecked that car.
His old man going to go to one side of me
and come down the other.
How old was he at this point?
How old?
About 12.
12.
And from that point on, I had to take the key out
because I'd say something bad is going to happen.
I remember y'all coming to, I don't know if it was you,
someone coming to school and grabbing me
because one of the back co-operators was not,
one of the back co-operators was not like, was missing.
So they grabbed me out of school
and I went to run the excavator, track excavator.
That's what I was good at.
Yeah.
But Roy taught me how to run heavy equipment.
I sat there and watched me figure it out
and then he'd teach me the fine tunes of running.
You know, the company we dug ditches,
put pipes underground, you know, water sewer,
all that stuff and it was fun.
That's something you can't teach.
You just let him find out on his own.
Yeah, and then you fine tune him.
Yeah, I tune him in.
Put him out there wearing nothing out
and just dig a hole and cover it up.
The first hole of dug in the back of the shop
was pretty big.
I remember dad getting excited about it.
Oh, 40 feet deep.
He got mad.
40 feet?
40 feet deep.
I was, I came out, I said,
what's in the world?
Big old hole.
Big old hole.
Yeah.
I see.
Well, that's the wolf formula, right?
Too much of a good thing.
So this is my uncle Roy.
He started working for my granddad
before I was born
and he's been a big part of my life.
And now he runs the transportation,
the pickup division of yembythevin.com.
And what's funny is people lie to him
and hustle him about where they are
and how much time it takes to do this and that.
Yeah.
And he knows what they're doing before they do it.
And he'll go, you know, he'll find them
when they're screwing off.
Because people have been screwing off
on his watch for years.
Years.
And he's been catching them for years.
And like I was saying,
I was screwing off on his watch.
And it still goes on today.
And people think that they,
that he doesn't know any better.
Oh, I know.
Trust me.
I know.
Of course you do.
All right.
