[loveisintheair79]

OMG I remember this story when I was a kid 

[harryphipps]

From an ole country boy, this is priceless!!!!!!

[Pollypot]

Thank you for posting this I so love him :-)

[MrMike2008a]

Thanks for posting this. This was the most requested "cut" from my days in AM Country Radio.

[rcjohnsob]

I have owned many of these beetles over the years and I actually sold one to a guy who called me two days later and asked me if it had a reverse gear?

[thepsycho130]

This is my All Time favorite story told by Wendy and I actually met Ralph Bennett years ago. Wendy Bagwell was the funniest person I had ever known.

[raydunakin]

Thanks for posting that -- I love his stories. I have most of their records, including this one, but my stereo is on the fritz, so it's nice to be able to hear this again.

[dieselducy]

OMG!! i have been looking ALL over for that recording!! Used to hear this on the radio!!

[jimmythemufflers]

I accidentally came across this and actually enjoyed it. Very funny.

[BKWKY]

This brings back many memories of listening to this on vinyl in the mid 70's. He was a funny guy! R.I.P. Wendy!

[da2770]

thank you michael, for introducing me to this comdey.

[DOMERAISER]

I first heard this about ten years ago when I lived in Tallahassee. As an old VW Bus owner (40 years ago), I have to say this is one of the funniest things I have ever heard.

[MultiBaldEagle]

This was from 1975, I believe.......My freshman year of High School. Brings back memories.

[DOMERAISER]

I never even saw one of those Volkswagen cars before we went all the way to Jacksonville, Florida. THIS IS CLASSIC! ONE OF MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITES.

[imgettinrede]

tooooooooo funny!!!!!!

[MikeBobSkip]

In my college days, had one of these "bugs". Driving home to the farm after class one afternoon, it started to sleet. Had to drive with one hand out the window scraping the ice from the windshield. Nearly froze to death at age 19!! By the time I got home, the entire glass was frozen over except for this one tiny little spot I kept clean with the scraper.

[jg300gman]

VW has come a long way....just recently being named the #1 car seller in the world. Das ist aber schone!

[XC2long4u]

Zzzzzz. Grumble grumble Zzzzzzzz.

[hogjawhead]

Does this ever bring back memories. I seen Wendy in person many times. He was the greatest. You could just look at him and start laughing. He was very good.

[trueedge2097]

He was very sincere, too. I do miss him. He's telling stories around Glory, though.

[richintalent]

I grew up in VWs- the new Beetles can't compare to the old ones- suckers would go anywhere a Jeep would.

[worshippastor63]

I Like this one does anyone know how i can get ahold of his Story the Three German Police Dogs & the Yeller Cat

[65telecaster]

i remember this one well,always funny every time you hear it.

[curcrazy2]

this brings lots of memories of me and my brother....could anyone tell me where I can find the song/story that wendy bagwell did about grandpaw's teeth, loosing them and finding them in the flour bin?.....this was one of our favorites and I can't find anything on it anywhere....help, anyone!!!!

[Flomuk]

I'm sorry, I have been searching for that one for years and have been unable to find it. It was one of my favorites, as well :(

[MoosePrints3]

You can try and call BAGWELL Sales (Wendy's Furniture Store, located in Mableton GA.) and ask if they by chance have any of his CD's or even tapes of some of his stuff. I remember years ago they did have some. That is the best I can offer.

[karlaj70]

This takes me back far sitting in front of the buffet stereo the cracking of the records made it sound better.

[mysteriousyoungman]

I can remember, as a kid, sitting in my basement with daddy's record player and listening to this. It bring back so man memories, thank you for adding this.

[MoosePrints3]

This is my Uncle and I can remember him telling me this story along with the Rattlesnake story when I was a young child... What a wonderful man he was...

[curcrazy2]

do you by chance know where I can get a copy of the story/song he use to do also about grand-paws teeth & finding them in the flour bin.....has anybody seen my teeth.....it was sooooo funny & I would love to be able to hear it again.

Thanks

[mysteriousyoungman]

I remember hearing this as a kid. I actually saw Wendy in person at Wilkesboro NC, my hometown. He was absolutely awesome.

[CadillacL]

oh my! I was thinking of this Wendy Bagwell the other day...this is SO funny. Thanks for posting.

[pdail2000]

Thanks for Sharing these videos.

[Tampaparrotthead]

I wish every one of you could have known Wendy personally. He was one of the finest Christian men I ever knew and I can promise you that he never said anything with the intention of offending anyone. But he was smart enough to know that everybody didn't have a sense of humor but there was a bunch of people who would appreciate his sense of humor! He laughed all the way to the bank!!

[mdowda3]

smyrna is a little further from my house...Carrollton Ga

[westphire]

I love Wendy Bagwell. I am so glad to find this and I hope there are others!!

[lexiesnana]

Does anyone have the Rattlesnake story to share? This one is great!

[brotherpreacher]

I am a serpent handling evangelist, I thought that one was a bit offensive. Yet he is very funny wendy was great

[armyduude]

I'm sure it wasn't intended to be offensive. What's wrong with taking a joke as a joke?

[DaddyBare2002]

RAH! I VOTE YES ~ hoping someone has a copy. It's SUPERB & all like my aunt-in-law who, sadly, TEMPT THE LORD by handling POISONOUS SNAKES despite HIS WORDS in spots like Matt 4:7 and end up BITTEN will face Him Whom they chose to defy; but, my aunt was fortunate enough to leave her ordeal w/ only a shriveled hand & fixed up a tale to ease her defiance. She decided the snake AIMED 4 the guy NEXT to her & got HER instead.

[poorrich0407]

Thanks for putting this up I loved wendy's stories!

[mrguitar51]

smyrna georgia is about 18 miles from my home., ROCKMART, GEORGIA

[speakers79]

I like the one about when he went to the snake handling service.

[brotherpreacher]

I am a serpent handling evangelist, I thought that one was a bit offensive. Yet he is very funny wendy was great

[DaddyBare2002]

Serving TRUE GOD always offends all who deceive others for personal gain as YOU admit doing so you "taking offense" is expected. But, don't you know ANY Scriptures but those stolen from context to serve deceptive motives? Phony preachers are the REASON so many souls will enter hell; & the LORD said He has a very SPECIAL place for them! WOE UNTO YOU for refusing to enter Heaven yourself; and, getting in the way so others can't go in! An HONEST Matt 4:7, 23:13 study will never favor your eternity!

[lamomof2]

Boy, I miss his stories, the German Police Dogs has to be one of his best though!

[GodsOutlaw42]

This is a very funny story
