Hey, baby. Welcome on in here to the Wolfman Jack Show for Tuesday Night. We ain’t fooling around tonight. We’re gonna sock it to you. We’re gonna bowl you over and we’re gonna knock you right on your ass. You watch, the thing is, Wolfman Jack, you’re a major creep, right? I mean, everybody is afraid of you. I’m sitting in a candy store, and I’m afraid to buy anything because they don’t want me to come inside because of you. I’m sitting here with a girlfriend and we wanna see a movie, and I’m afraid to get in because you’re outside. That’s pretty weird, Wolfman Jack. And you are right; it is a pretty creepy show.
