Traffic School - 03/07/2025

It's the cops. The cops are here or one cop. Matt, I wish I wasn't getting old. Don't we all. The reason I say that, I heard you rant about something yesterday and I thought I'm gonna come in.

That's the first thing I'm gonna mention this morning. I can't remember what it was. You're turning into me. I know. You're turning into me.

Trying to think what stupid things did I rant about yesterday. I mean, there was a good variety. It's common. I mean, I I managed to aggravate people, you know, often enough. Yesterday, some guy got so mad at me on social media that I actually had to block him.

It was it was kinda surprising. And all I was saying was that the government should, you know, make daylight saving time permanent. That's what it was. Was that what it was? That's what it was.

Okay. Well, let's let's take this call, and we'll get into it here in a second. K, Bear, you're live on Traffic School powered by the advocates. I guess we're not even playing the intro. Right to the calls.

Who's this? Trisha Carl's. How you guys doing, man? The sun shines, and Carl's out. Alright, Carl.

We know that Carl's on the door. Sunday's Sunday, man. Today's the day, man. I'm sitting out front. I'm I'm at the front door right now looking all these hot rods being loaded in there.

Smell of gasoline and exhaust. Oh. You're not allowed to drool on them. Oh, no. No.

I brought I brought a towel. I brought a towel. Well, this is the first time, Crazy Carl, that I'm okay with you giving a plug because Chrome In The Dome. Dome Nice. You know, they did buy some ads and gave us some tickets to give away.

So we're fine with talking about Chrome In The Dome at is it the ICCU Dome now? It's not the Holt Arena? Right. ICCU. Alright.

That's something that's old timers are gonna have to get used to and, see, Carl. Carl, real quick. Could you spell that for me? I'm trying to write it down. Oh, oh, I didn't I didn't pass no spelling bees here.

None of us have, sir. That's called a test. Right. Right. And when when you got sometimes, you remember sometimes.

I think we're all getting a case of that. Right? Oh, absolutely, man. Absolutely. Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. So legitimate question. So my 72 Pinot, I can't sell that thing. I wanna give it away. How do you gift a car to someone?

I mean, I'm not trying to get avoid paying taxes, But when you give somebody a car, how do you write up a bill of sale for that for sales tax? Oh, that's a great question. I'll tell you they're gonna get their sales tax anyway. So you write you you give them a title, signed off title. You gotta have that, Carl.

You can't sell cars without a title. Once you once you sign the title, you give it to them. It was gifted. And then what they'll do is they'll do book value for the taxes. Oh, wow.

What kind of gas mileage that thing get crazy, Carl? I'm I'm really getting tired of dumping money into my pickup. And you like the sounds of free. I do love the price is right. I need a car.

You can plug every car show. Oh, I'm gonna get in trouble with the bosses. Now you're bribing listeners for free plugs. Right. I'm sleeping on a mattress that I love.

Buy their mattress. Right. I'm driving Carl's car. Oh, man. So so if I wrote out a bill of sale for $500 for a car that's probably worth about 20, that's probably not gonna fly.

For $20 worth $20? I know. $20. Yeah. What?

Your pintle's worth $20? Oh, man. Well, it's beefed up, man. I got the $4.54 with the blower in it. You think there's one other guy in the world that would like it, Exactly.

Yeah. I did. It's all in the eye of the beholder. Why don't I have friends like crazy Carl? You know, I could sell this thing for 20 g's, but, no.

Just give it to them. People are lined up. People are lined up with these panels. I don't know anybody willing to give me. Peaches hooks me up with candy sometimes.

Supply and demand, Victor. Supply and demand. Yeah. Peaches got me a breakfast burrito yesterday. Very nice.

But Oh, yeah. Nobody with a a free vehicle. You're a pretty nice guy, crazy Carl. Right. Right.

Yep. Right. Come on. Oh, man. They got all the chrome and shinies, man.

I suggest everybody get down here. We're off the panel. But Yeah. They they wouldn't let me bring the panel in. Yeah.

Right on. Has to be $80.20 grand or greater. Right. Oh, yeah. Did you know it's got a blower?

I do now. I do now. Oh, yeah. You need to send us a picture. I wanna see this free vehicle and go, not fair, please.

Right. Alright on. Well, man, I'm gonna jump in there and, oh, I'm having the time of my life this weekend, man. This is the pinnacle of spring for me, man. But, I suggest everybody get down here.

They got some nice rides going in. Spell that out for us again, Carl. Yeah. Well, how do you spell the name of the venue? Yeah.

ICCU. Alright. Alright. You guys have a great show, man. We'll talk to you soon.

Good to hear from you, Carl. Enjoy that show. Oh, exactly. All will do will do. Alright.

We'll see you guys. See you, man. Peace. Bye. (208) 535-1015, the number to call for Traffic School powered by the advocates.

Okay. So you heard me ranting about Daylight Saving Time. I'm like, I went into denial. I'm like, it can't be Friday. Oh, no.

It's not. So, I mean, come on. That's a, bipartisan, everyone can agree kind of issue. Right? That the time change is annoying and stupid and pointless.

So the fact that some guy got crazy with me, you know, to the point that I was like, okay, you got some blocked user in your future, buddy. But me, what, what was his positives? There was no positives. I just want to argue with you at all. And I wouldn't even call it an argument.

He just, outright attacked and insulted me. And I thought it was a little way. Like a little cat man. Strange. You didn't it was worse.

I can't even use the phrasing on air, but it was so aggressive. I was like, alright. I'm not gonna put up with that crap. You cat lover. You.

Like, I'd be down to debate the merits of daylight saving time. Sure. As long as you win. Well, I'm really good at arguing. I'm I'm a pro.

If you don't believe me, I got the divorce paperwork to prove it. Well, I don't know how well it worked out there. It's been cost me for a long time, but, but it went better than it probably did for a lot of people. No, I'm good at online arguing. Yes.

You know? I'm I'm a pro because I'll take my time. You know? I make sure to research. Thought it write it all out.

I don't just, you know, get the knee jerk reaction and go. For the most part, every once in a while that happens, and I go, oh, I should have thought that one out. And I don't have to look them in the eyes. Which is the best. (208) 535-1015, the number to call for Traffic School powered by the Advocates Injury Attorneys.

Come out. Call us up and ask us some questions about the lie. I see people asking them all the time or debating them on the Life in Idaho Falls Facebook group. So why don't you ask a cop rather than the other Internet users who don't know what they're talking about? I know you threaten people about roundabouts.

Yes. Because there was a big discussion earlier in the week about how we should get rid of all the roundabouts in East Idaho. Oh, okay. And a lot of people thought that was a good idea. It moves traffic very well.

Now this is what I did wanna say. We did have Carolina in here the other day, the influencer. And Yes. And she wanted to go out and look at roundabouts in in the patrol car. Did you make a roundabout video without me?

No. I you I told her. I said, Victor's promised me this for twelve years. I figured when you were at when you were doing a, ride along with her, I was gonna take grief. Yeah.

Because I've said, hey. Let's go on a ride along for years. She actually follows through, unlike you. Well, I follow through on other things. But what I loved is I said, hey.

Forewarning. People drive different when there's a black and white car around. That's true. That's true. They're a little more cautious.

And so sure enough, we we went around it multiple times and, yeah, no violations or anything that we've seen there. And so but, yeah, people just drive different when there's black and white. So what I think people need to pay more taxes, we'll put a trooper at every roundabout, and then no problem. That sounds like a great idea. And you guys are doing some hiring.

Right? We're trying to hire. Yeah. Alright. I mean, it's a quality job with good pay.

Oh, the benefits are outstanding is what's great about it. And, yeah. If you're interested, go to ido state police and, .gov. Sign up for start your career, and, we'll be getting in touch with you as soon as you pass the online test, common knowledge, and then we'll, come and see if you can do your physical. Now that brings us to this point.

Are we gonna get that physical put together? I think so. We need to talk with, management. You know, we got new management. I don't know if you've, in place.

In place. I don't know if you've met the new, GM yet. Probably not because he started on Monday. No. I just walked in today.

Ah, well, I'll have to take you to meet him. He seems like a pretty nice fellow, so I'm doing my best to give him a good impression. So know if I'm off the payroll. Hey. Don't worry about that.

Don't worry about any of that. But, yeah, it was fun to hear you went out and, did that ride along. Now did you end up going back out in her car so that you could see people actually behaving like Yes. The crazies they are? She said, hey.

You need to come out my car. I said, yeah. People definitely drive differently. And, so we did. I got car sick.

No. I'm just kidding. Sorry for the smell that's gonna be in there for a long time. Puke smell doesn't come out of a car very good. We did talk about when she was flying one time, there was some puke on a plane, and then she flew again on probably the same plane the puke had been cleaned up.

And, you know, airplanes are weird where they got just a bag for you to vomit in. Have you ever seen anyone actually spew in the bag on a flight? If I would have and I'd got a sight and a smell, I'd be spewing with them. Yeah. I mean, I would think if you're gonna puke on the plane, you go into the bathroom, and you you just hold down the button because it's kinda like just, like, you know, kinda like a jail toilet.

It's like a jet engine. How would you know that? I was told. Okay. I I was told about it.

We'll we'll just say one of the guys told me, yeah, they they're so powerful. I you could let's see. What's something appropriate I could say you could pull through it? Not his comparison. We'll we'll we'll just say like a a my buddy doll.

And the privacy in those places. Oh, yeah. It's gotta be great. Gotta be great. But it it does seem like if you had a toilet with that kind of suction power and you just projectile vomit into it while holding down the button right out of your lungs.

Yeah. Just why use the bag when you got that kind of fun? It's got that blue, you know, liquid going down. Turn it into a nice yellow muck. Oh, gosh.

Sorry. Puking makes me laugh. Did you see the news? I think it was yesterday where they have the lady come Which one? Which story?

She's got up. She was going from Houston, Texas to, Phoenix, Arizona. Got upset, went off the plane. They went and let her off, so she stripped off all her clothes. Guess what?

I have that tab open in my window because, I'm gonna look at it on the windshield. I love that video. Yeah. It's like if you're gonna get unruly on a plane, why don't you wait till you're almost to the destination? You know?

Because she did it right at the beginning of the flight, so they had to, you know, turn back around. I think you missed the part that she wanted off the plane. Oh, yeah. No. I just saw it, you know, irrational, flight passenger takes clothes off and starts screaming.

I didn't get the gist of why. Remind me of you and your trips to, Arizona yourself for your little vacations. See. But, where I go, it's appropriate to take your clothes off and scream and yell. I don't know if it's It's ever appropriate for you to take your clothes off.

Hey. I was a star at that place. I was a star. I was the youngest man there. I was, actually.

But, you know, I I'm there to entertain. You know, I'm an entertainer, lieutenant Crane, and you never seen a smile on a bunch of old people's faces like a guy like me in nothing but a cowboy hat, you know, screaming some Pantera tunes in the middle of the desert. Yeah. Come on. You could admit that when you go down to Phoenix, I know you're cruising up to New River.

I know where you're going. Sounds like Old River to me. For the most part, it is. The Shangri La Ranch. There's your free plug, Shangri La Ranch.

Where are your listeners at with your questions for traffic school? What's going on here? (208) 535-1015. We need some questions. Maybe it's because you forgot to play the intro.

Maybe that's it. Alright. Look, everybody. We're doing traffic school. You want me to prove it?

Look. Listen to this. Oh, not that. How about this? Attention station, DJs.

You might wanna head out the back door because the police department is in the lobby. This is traffic school with Victor Wilkes and Lieutenant Marvin Crane, powered by the Advocates Injury Attorneys only on KBAR one zero one. Caller, you're live on the show. Keep that in mind. Who's this?

Hey. What's going on? And, Victor, it's, Damien. Damien, what's happening, man? What's your question for the show?

I don't know if it's traffic related, but I was just wondering, what are the regulations of fireworks, like, light lighting fireworks? Yeah. 20 the fourth of July is coming soon. Victor wants you to celebrate thirty days prior and thirty days after. Absolutely.

In his neighborhood. I believe that fireworks, are good year round, and, there are no restrictions whatsoever. Right, lieutenant? That's not quite right, but I do like the fact that people in Victor's neighborhood do love fireworks. And, legal wise, it's needs to say safe and sane on the package and can't come up off the ground.

So it's the opposite type of warning you'd see on my show. It's opposite of fun. Exactly. Safe and sane. Yeah.

There's no way to live your life, but if you don't wanna go to jail, that's what you gotta do. Okay then. Because I I live in an apartment complex. Yeah. You can't shoot them off in there.

Not not recommended. Step out on the dog walk area. So, like, the parking lot is okay and everything? Or if they're safe and sane. I don't know if I'd be shooting off anything up in the air that hops up.

Yeah. Now are you allowed to light them outside of that little window around the July 4? Isn't it like the week before up till the day of The window of the apartment or the window of the date? Window of the date. Yes.

There's big phrases here. Victor, nothing is in the apartment. Okay? Dang it. Okay.

There was a recent story, where somebody burned down their apartment complex with a firework as a matter of fact. If you're living in an apartment complex week to week, paycheck to paycheck, you probably don't wanna burn it down, try to buy it. Yeah. It could be Oh, very true. Housing prices are up.

Well, it's and it's the interest. Right? If the interest rates were down, we'd probably be okay. But Yeah. Okay then.

But, the thing you'd have to be careful of is how full is parking lot, what's going on around there, is it safe to do it, but as far as legal fireworks, safe and sane on the packaging. Okay. Alright. I will tell you this. When you're dealing with an apartment complex, you're probably gonna find one person that is not happy about it.

Definitely. I am that one person that hates everything. Manny drunk. Well, appreciate it, Damien. Hope you have an awesome weekend.

Carry it. Cool, man. Well, thanks for, you're lighting up the phone. So you you seem to have, kicked everybody into gear. So Alright then.

I appreciate it. You guys, have a good weekend. You too, man. See you. Alright.

See you. K Bear. You live on traffic school powered by the advocates injury attorneys. Who's this? This is Nate.

Nate, what's up, man? Oh, not much. Hey. So I have a CDL, and I've heard rumors that I don't have to have a medical card if I stay in state. Is that true?

Is it class a? Yes. Well, I I've got my own opinion, but I probably better look that one up. I I don't deal with commercial vehicles much. Ah.

Yeah. You some commercial drivers are required to have a special medical card? If you're traveling interstate, yeah, you gotta you gotta have a medical card. What's the medical card? Make sure you're healthy.

Oh, okay. Make sure you're gonna stay awake and then you can see. I don't know if you know this, but driving around, you don't get a whole lot of exercise. Yeah. I I I drive this this car here every day.

And they eat like I do. They eat like the steak chicken. Stand up. Jeez. There we go.

Alright. It's been three seconds set back down. Okay. Thank you. Hey.

You know what? I'll reach out. I'll get the answer for that, and I'll have Victor, put it out. Okay. Thank you so much.

You bet. Hey. Thanks, man. You have a good one. You too.

Bye. Alright. You stumped Lieutenant Crane. I should have gave him a prize. I I do think you gotta have one, but I wanna make sure before I say.

Alright. Sounds good. K Bear, you're live on Traffic School powered by the advocates. Who's this? Fred.

Fred, what's up? Just chilling. It sounds like it. I wish I was feeling as laid back as Fred today. Yeah.

Laid back. Chilling. Very nice. I'm irritated. Uh-oh.

Fred, what are you irritated about? So I got these drivers because I'm pulling out from work trying to get on the Pan Carrey. They come off the bridge, and they're signaling to turn right. They drive right past my road and go and turn on the next road. So is there something that regulates people driving through the intersection with their turn signal on to get to the next intersection.

How far apart are they? Probably 300 feet. Yeah. Yeah. That's the problem because they are indicating their lane change, but there's a lane prior to that or an intersection to that.

And and one thing's always right. Right? Always be cautious and make sure the person is doing what they're indicating. Don't just take it for granted. Yeah.

Certainly. Yeah. But I guess I'd have to look at that, but it would be a real short signal if they waited because at 300 feet, you're covering that in a quick quick hurry. Okay. Now let's say, you know, somebody leaves their blinker on and they're just cruising.

You know? They're headed down Woodruff, and they're just going through multiple stoplights, because they don't realize their blinker is on. Would that be some type of a a charge for having the blinker on forever? You know, because you see it sometimes. Yeah.

It's definitely a a reason to stop. So, yeah, I that would be a tough one. I don't know if there's anybody that would use their discretion to write the citation on that. It happens all the time coming in from the Oregon border into Nampa. What?

Hey. What are you doing? Well, Fred, yeah. Appreciate the call, man. Alright.

Thanks, man. You have a good one. K Bear, you're live on Traffic School powered by the Advocates Injury Attorneys. Who's this? This is Frank.

Frank, what's up, man? Oh, I'm gonna I'm gonna answer, mister Crane's question on the CDL thing, whether you have to have a medical card if you're in state or not. Alright. He's been texting away for a bit here, so I think he's researching. But what do you got?

So you do if you are transporting goods for somebody else, which means they are not personal like, you're working for a farm, you don't have to have a medical card. But if you are transporting goods, even in state, on the interstate, you have to have a medical card. So, like, these guys that transport, the the hay containers, they, like, go to, like, Driscoll's or whatever, and they load that hay container, and then they take it to the railroad yard, they have to have a medical card. Okay. And I Even even even if even if you don't leave state, you still have to have it because you're transporting someone else's goods.

That makes sense to you, Lieutenant Crane? In commerce. In commerce. Yeah. Yes.

Okay. Yeah. It if if if you're if you're working if you're running grain for a farmer and it you're going from one of their storage areas to their farm or whatever, as long as it's for the farmer and it's not being sold as a commerce, you don't have to have one. I just went I just went through this with a buddy of mine. Do you want a job with the commercial vehicle section of our police department?

Well, sure. But I don't know. I don't think it'll take good enough, but I, I I own my own trucking company. So Well, why don't you rub it in a little? Where's my oka train button?

And not only am I cooler than you, but I am richer than you. Oh, I wouldn't say that. I wouldn't say that. Trucking is very expensive. Anything that says, semi on it is is, like, triple what what it the parts actually should be.

But you could actually live in them. Because a lot of them have a bed and stuff. So, you know, it can be coming home. Well, it it does every once in a while, but, yeah, the it just that when if if if normal people that drove regular cars could ride with a truck driver for a couple days, they wouldn't drive the way that they do. Oh, yeah.

It's a total it's a totally different people are, like, always in a hurry to get around a truck. Or even if even if you're doing two miles an hour above the speed limit, they have to get around you. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I, I see people make some really dumb moves around, you know, semis, you know, especially, like, yeah, passing on the right or riding in that, blind zone where you can't see the mirrors.

People are dumb. Hey. Guess what? Well and Oh. What?

What are you gonna I'm gonna expound on your answer just a little bit. Idaho code nine. Idaho code 672901 b states that in state, you do not if you are, like you stated, farm, farm products, or or forestry products, or mine products. Gotcha. Okay.

So those three exemptions. Okay. Forestry, farm, and mine. And you stay in state, you do not have to. So if you're packing gold I know.

Right? Yeah. Hopefully hopefully, they go to their destination and don't go somewhere else if they're back in gold. You might lose a truck and the gold. Yeah.

You don't wanna put me in charge of a truck of gold. Where did he go? I'd be concerned about putting you in charge of watching my dog for the weekend. I I don't blame you. I'm a cat guy, and I'll take care of, Lucy's mom.

Yes. Yes. Any anytime. But dogs, man, that that's a lot of work. You know, like, actually Right.

Take them outside in this terrible weather. Exercise them. Yeah. Yeah. Cat, I can just sit on my couch with the fishing pole, and you get her all the exercise she wants.

But can I can I get sergeant Crane to explain to people that when you pull when when a semi pulls out and you're way back there, yeah, you it might be a 45 mile an hour speed limit zone, and you're pulling out and there's a turn lane that has w o lines? You cannot pass that semi after he pulls out in the in the in over the the the w l l. I get that all the time. All the time. They have no patience.

And I'm like, yeah. It takes me a little bit to build speed, you know, because most of the time, I'm pulling a 12,000 pounds. You know? But I'm pulling a 12. Why is he pulling a 12?

Why is he pulling a 12? And why is it taking a little longer to speed up? Because he's pulling a 12. Because he's pulling a train. Yes.

An actual train. Yes. It's two trailers. Oh, that's what you call, you call it a trailer. Trucker words.

I don't know what he's trucker words. That's why the people would get mad when I jump on the CB as a kid. Didn't know the proper lingo. I got I got a I got a trailer and I got a pup that follows. Hopefully.

Hopefully, it's following. Yeah. And, you know, if you are near a semi also or anybody pulling, like, even a camper, don't slam on your brakes in front of them. It takes people a lot longer to slow down. Anybody who's pulled a trailer of any sort, you learn a lot by by doing that.

Who's your friendly auto body? Yes. So, you know, I I think overall, just patience would be would be good. And, you know, before we know it, we're gonna be back into the, hundred deadliest days of driving. And, you know, we I hope this year we can cut those numbers down.

Absolutely. So Just just all I all I ask is they give us some room and don't pass us, you know, because you don't have any patience. We're gonna get up to speed a little quicker than than they think. And if you want that beer, let these guys get the barley to the prop shop. That's right.

I do. My problem is I do asphalt oil, so my stuff is is hot. Yeah. Oh, brutal. It's 360 degrees, and, you know, you get in a wreck with that.

It can turn into something really bad. So Just for a second. Yeah. It it would be just for a second. I've I've the thought would be in your head, and that's it.

I don't even know if you could get a screen out on that one. Well, appreciate the call today, man, and good luck out on the roads. I don't know. Thank you. You guys have a good day.

You too. See you, man. Alright. K, Bear. You're live on Traffic School powered by the Advocates Injury Attorneys.

Who's this? This is Quentin. Quentin, what's up? Hey. Did you ever find that video of that officer pulling over the guy that I identified as a cat?

I think that video was fake. I did look at that video, and I think I'm saying that is fake. All of it. That's possible. That that was my guess was that video was, just a spoof.

But you you never know. You never know. Feel pretty funny, though. I just I've talked to a lot of police officers. You know, I might have one in the room right now, and I I don't think any of them are that clever.

Oh. You know what? You you have to show that to Lieutenant Granger. Alright. Yeah.

I'll I'll show them it when we get off air. If my IQ is any lower, I'd have to be a DJ. Oh. Got it. Got it.

Oh. I didn't even call the trainer reading trouble this time. You're gonna have us in a fist fight before. I I I don't know. I I think you might win.

You got, like, training. You wait. When you leave, I'll send you a message. Right. I'm real good at talking smack in a text once you've left.

If you were here, I'd right uppercut you, boy. Well, thanks, Crane. Fun brawling. Oh, okay. We're we're ready.

You got a cage still, Lieutenant Crane? Yeah. Yeah. Lieutenant Crane has an actual cage, so we'll set up the cage match at the arena, me versus Crane. Who was the last guy you're gonna try to get me to fight?

Joe Rogan. Yeah. Peaches. I mean, Peaches would be funny too, but I think we draw a bigger crowd if we had Joe Rogan versus lieutenant Crane in the arena. And we even what?

We briefly mentioned that, and somehow it spread like wildfire. Phone calls like crazy. Yep. Coming up, April 20. Lieutenant Crane versus Joe Rogan at the Mountain America Center.

We're in the back alleys of downtown Idaho Falls. Well, appreciate the call, man. Hope you have an awesome weekend. Yep. You too.

See you. Alright. If we get any last minute calls, we'll answer your questions. (208) 535-1015. Lieutenant Crane, anything you wanna tell the listeners about before we end the program today?

Hey. If you are interested in a career with the Idaho State Police, please apply. We're gonna be starting in an academy July 1. There's time, to make that happen. We'll work with you closely to walk you through the process, and other than that, the sun is starting to shine once in a while.

Just remember motorcycles are coming out. Keep a close eye on them, and let's talk about semis and, exactly what that caller was stating. Give them some space. Give them some room. Let them let them get where they need to go safely.

Absolutely, everybody. Be cautious and patient and enjoy the nice weekend. I saw a weather report that said in the next few days, we could get up in the fifties. Fifties. You wanna see me wearing some skimpy clothes.

You wanna see me wear my cowboy hat now. Right? That's right. I'm covering up all the windows in the studio, and we're doing a different kind of show moving forward. You ready for next Friday?

No. No. It's gonna be wild. Alright, everybody. Traffic School powered by the advocates.
