The John Clay Wolfe Show

A JCW Show Special: John Clay Wolfe on Our American Stories with Lee Habeeb

On this episode of Our American Stories: sometimes the catalyst to success can sound like the words of a tragic country song. After Mom died, the dog died, and the wife took off, John Clay Wolfe became paralyzed all in the short span of about a year. Then came the worst news: someone had been stealing his company's money, and he was millions in debt. John Clay Wolfe, the founder of GiveMeTheVin.com and the host of the John Clay Wolfe Show, tells his astonishing story of recovery—both in business and in life.

Hey there neighbor--are you ready for a fast ride down a slippery terrain? 'Cause this week, we've got one for you: there's so much going on in Walnut Springs, ol' Johnny C. is bursting at the seams to tell you all about it--what with the 'soft opening' of his new Bosque Cantina fine Mexican restaurant, W6 Steak House about to open up right across the street, big names set to play the Rattlesnake Roadhouse...and you did know he's just discovered an unprecedented collection of cars from a 'classics' and collectible museum in Tulsa--and bought every single priceless automobile they had! Oh--and, yes, we have a pretty popular radio program, too. Join John Clay, JD, the Colonel Mike Turley, Bobbo, and the gang for our inimitable mix of music, sports, world news and politics, and a LOT of 'takes' on current events that you simply will NOT hear from any other crew!

JCW ARCHIVE: Wrapped Up Like A What?

We've got a real doo wah ditty doozy for you this week! Our pal Wallace Edwards drops off his classic tale of Mannfred Mann and his band's journey through American rock n roll. We take a look behind the music to find out just how torturous Bruce Springsteen was to the English band while they were on tour. John tries to keep up but him and JD Ryan have some questions by the end of it. I don't think Wallace Edwards would lie, would he??   Thanks for joining us for this week's #JCWPodcast #JCWArchive.

#481 John Clay Wolfe Show 11.30.24

Friends, believe us when we say: it is damned good to see ya! We've all been on a hard-timing work bent again, what with John spending the week checking on business on the West Coast, Turley holding the reins of our multiple hubs of buyers, who are cocksure and buying cars like candy bars, and the rest of us hangin' on for dear life! So yeah, we're glad for the chance to stop the madness and do a fun show for ya--and we've damned sure got one! John's got a LOT of observations on what he's seen and experienced out there in Cali; Joe Exotic calls in to share the good news that he's pretty sure his pardon and release is coming sooner rather than later; JD Ryan has an exceptionally fun and hilarious stack of news items for us (who stiffs a poor gorgeous stripper on her lap dance fee?!), Bobbo has some weird friends stopping by, including Randy the Chipmunk, Keith Richards, Johnny Cash and more, and YES--there will be betting! So make sure you get the downlow on all the college and NFL games worth betting on this weekend before you put your hard earned dollar down...and or course, you'll get our own inimitable mix of crazy stories, music, politics and world news, and a safe place to have a tasty beverage on a Saturday morning! So grab a Natty Light and ride with the Wolfe Pack...it's gonna be a great Saturday.

JCW ARCHIVE: Kenny Rogers' Dark Side w/ Adam Carolla

We were listening to some Kenny Rogers records with our buddy Adam Carrolla when Adam revealed the true story behind the music. It seems Kenny had a bit of a morbid streak on some of his hits, like "Ruby" and "Coward Of The County" which tell dark tales that we have a good laugh at! John's even got a theory that Kenny Rogers was influential in the beginnings of Gangsta Rap, which Adam, being the expert on all things gangsta, can confirm.   Thanks for joining us for this week's #JCWPodcast #JCWArchive.

Can't help pointing out, you picked a great time to join us neighbor, because this week the Wolfe Pack is finally all together again! Gigi is back from her medical scare, with one procedure down and one to go, and she'll share all the details the way that only Gigi can. Meanwhile, Johnny C. has got a progress goal or something today, because he's buying cars and trucks at a highly accelerated rate this week (including quite a few of those 'highlines' he's so crazy about)! He'll also talk to singer Cody Canada about his reunion with The Departed--and yes, they're playing the Rattlesnake Roadhouse tonight... We've also got some hilarious news and information from our own JD Ryan; Bobbo brings all of his old friends along, including Johnny Cash, John's "Buyer Coach" (who happens to be Tiger Woods' cousin Kenny), and a lot more; and did somebody say Sports Book? Because the Colonel, Mike Turley, has got some football bets he'd like to run by his mark, Johnny C. Wolfe--and money is definitely gonna be changing hands, y'all! Not to mention our own inimitable mix of music, politics and world news, and whatever else is worth talkin' about...so grab a Natty Light and hang with the Wolfe Pack for a while! It's going to be a great Saturday y'all.

JCW ARCHIVE: Football Talk With Lesbians

Set HUT! Thanksgiving is coming around the bend and that means it's time to talk football with your favorite cousins! John was in for a surprise when his happily married cousins schooled him on the latest sports stats, stadiums and players and he had the genius idea for a new segment: Football Talk With Lesbians. Bobbo's all for it while JD tries to iron out the details. I wonder why this segment never caught on?   Thanks for joining us for this week's #JCWPodcast #JCWArchive.

So kick off your boots and hang for a spell--as you can tell, we're all set up for a hell of a good time--let's ride!

JCW ARCHIVE: Bobbo's Bender

Rise and *BURP* shine! The crew is all ready for a great Saturday morning show but Bobbo seems a bit off. Turns out him and the neighbor Danny had a bit of a wild night! From spaceships to drunken karaoke, the dynamic duo could be heard from across the ranch, but I think Bobbo might still be feeling a bit fine from the wine. Luckily, neighbor Danny knows just the cure!   Thanks for joining us for this week's #JCWPodcast #JCWArchive.

Ooh wee, have we got an overstuffed basket of fun for you this week! The Wolfe Pack is, for once, taking our responsibilities seriously, and...wait, come back! Don't get us wrong, we're still a bunch of goofs, and a hell of a good time to hang with...but Johnny C. has a bee in his bonnet about a rumored, recent election on his mind, and he'd like you to share your feelings, complaints, dissertations, and opinions about the situation, no matter which side of the political spectrum you consider yourself aligned to--and THAT, friends, is just another example of how we roll. We're all in this together, yeah? Okay. And of course, we've got the best team to ride upon that wave with: JD Ryan has got some VERY bizarre news for us, Gigi Drummond carries in a very wise, deeply satisfying, and on-the-point bits of philosophy and 'pop' culture for us, Bobbo's got a host of his weird friends along, including Johnny Cash, the ghost of P'Nut, and...is that Mick Jagger?! And don't forget, football's getting into that pre-playoff mode that begs for better betting--and Michael Turley is honor bound to drag John into a profitable mode of fandom; it's just a matter of who's profiting, right? And of course, our own inimitable mix of music, news, politics and twisted good humor makes our place the place to be. So come on in, and stay a while! We've got an ice cold Natty Light waitin' for ya.  

JCW ARCHIVE: Paul McCartney's Flabby Back

Hey dude, don’t make it bad! Aging rock stars can have a tough time maintaining their talents *cough* Vince Neil *cough* but John says the last great Beatle’s still got it! John goes through a lot to get these expensive tickets and luckily he made it to a great show but he expected a little more bang for his buck. We even hear from Axl Rose about Paul covering his song and we wonder just how much money did that one legged gal get?   Thanks for joining us for this week's #JCWPodcast #JCWArchive.

Johnny C. is up to his ears in cars: classics, collectibles, Mom's minivan, at least a dozen diesel trucks, a Falcon 2000 aircraft (if he can talk the guy out of it at the right price), and more! Of course, there's always a great story from the Life of the Wolfe Man, including his faux-dangerous altercation with a prickly "street guy" in New Orleans that we're sure you'll get a kick out of; meanwhile, our own JD Ryan has all the news that's fit to digest, Bobbo brings his friends Johnny Cash, Hanna the exotic dancer, and the Devil Himself along for the ride, Gigi has her own off-the-cuff (but endlessly wise) take on our topics, the Colonel Mike Turley takes a deep dive into "insult comedy" and of course, his REAL spark of genius, which college and NFL games to bet on--and who's gonna win?

So hang your ego at the door, we've got special 'Election Season' Steel Reserve, and a bucket of lime salt, to make it taste just right. And thanks for riding with the Wolfe Pack!

JCW ARCHIVE: Halloween Hits

JCW ARCHIVE: Son Of A Beach!

We're going to the beach! An EXPENSIVE beach that is. John was recently home from his family vacation to the Bahamas and it turns out he's giving off more Griswold vibes than he thought. From bogus charges to expensive drinks, it seems like the island is trying to leave his pockets flat.

Let a joyful noise rip! After John's breakfast is ruined by a distracted fart wrangler, he ponders upon his own faith in the goodness of this world. Luckily, our own Reverend Charles is there to lend a prayer for John to help him get through these gaseous times. The wise reverend waxes poetically on how to avoid the pitfalls of gas and how to DO BETTER! Inside AND outside Thanks for joining us for this week's #JCWPodcast #JCWArchive.

#472 John Clay Wolfe Show 09.28.24

Well, what a difference a week makes! While we were congratulating ourselves on such a nice little program on behalf of our "skeleton crew" of diehards after last week...it sure is good to have the whole team together again! Yes, JD and Gigi are back, we're ready for our farewell to September edition of the John Clay Wolfe Show--and we've got a LOT to offer! John's pal Adam Carolla stops by to talk about what may be the Hollywood/SCCA Auto Racing collection that beats them all: the models driven by the great Paul Newman in countless Sports Car Club of America, Le Mans, and Trans-Am races...PLUS, Joe Exotic gets us all caught up on life in Federal prison with no power for a number of days, his disdain for President Zelenskyy and other generally goofy notions, and his hope for winning a full appeal and quick release--possibly this year (let's just hope none of the judges on his motion to appeal panels are from the Ukraine)! Of course, JD Ryan has an astounding collection of breaking news stories and curious tidbits, including an Arkansas pastor who some think may be the secret identity of the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley--and yes, we've got him on the show! Meanwhile, the Colonel, Mike Turley, brings us every angle (and some VERY useful betting odds) on this week's College and NFL football matchups, Gigi gives us levity and insight on an endless variety of current events and pop culture savvy, and Bobbo's got a new "one-liner" for just about every facet of this week's conversation. And don't forget, DJ PreKay is a creative genius, with a listen to his "bare bones" start at crafting a new Hip-Hop/Gangsta take on ABBA's "Dancing Queen," and of course you'll get our own inimitable take on Music, world news and politics...and a whole "Zip A Dee Doo Dah" vibe! So stop on by, and prepare to be entertained--the Wolfe Pack is in rare form this week, y'all! Glad to have you along. Cheers!

JCW ARCHIVE: Stacy's Mom

Hot momma! Everybody has that one friend who they'd REALLY like to get closer to their friend's family. It turns out there's a lot of folks out there who have sealed the deal! John and Bobbo recount their own memories of cougars, but the listeners have had some real in the field experience.
