The Viktor Wilt Show

Cops are here. The police, they're in uniform and everything. No. Please tell me you're taking, Jade or Peaches away with you too. I hope so.

Yes. I need a quota, remember? I know. I know. You could do them both.

You could take them both. Wouldn't that be a great day? Yeah. Just cram them both in the back of that car. It'd be hilarious.

Would you like to be crammed in the back of that car with peaches? No. You'd have your head in his armpit. Because you'd have to lay him down and then you have to just kinda stack people like a clown car. You'd have to entice him into the back of that with a Twinkie.

That might work. That might work. Peaches, what kind of snacks are gonna get you in the back of that car? No. Then I'd have to cover for them with a bunch of work coming up this weekend.

So let let's do it next week. Really? Does that much? This weekend. Yes.

We're gonna be all over the place. It's it's mayhem this weekend. We're gonna be at the, Farmer's Market Clear to Ammon in Downtown Idaho, Florida? Like, all over right around here. Farmers Market, the classy prom.

You're you're gonna bring your lady to the classy prom tomorrow. I wish I could, but they've told me I don't have no class. Oh, okay. Yeah. You're not classy enough for that.

That's for sure. And then the big Seether concert on Sunday. I know you're gonna rock out to, POD Seether and Nonpoint. Yeah. That's exactly what I had in my calendar.

Well, let's don't get carried away. No. For real Health wise. Health wise. Health wise, much better.

Okay. I think I had you're like that was my first day back after that, dental surgery, and Friday kinda sucked. It was not my favorite day of 2025. We're partying with the cops. Hey.

When was last time I heard the intro? I mean, right now? Did I just miss it to put my headphones on? I think last week, I didn't play it. We just kinda went bam.

We got going. Hey. I did. I should've brought this up to you while we're out there right there, but we got off track. You got a pretty good lawyer?

The Advocate's injury attorneys. Two zero eight four seven one forty four forty four. Think they'll cover you and everything? Now what did I do this time? Uh-huh.

I have a concern. You have a concern? You know what? You know I went through a little procedure here four weeks ago. Yes.

Yeah. And through that, I had to go to some rehabilitation. Little bit of physical therapy on Yes. Yeah. And I went to, Saint Anthony Rehabilitation there in Saint Anthony, Idaho.

Free plug. Very nice. Well, yes. There you go. But I wanna tell you this.

They play music over the loudspeakers to kind of motivate you. Yeah. Right? While you're in there. I topic of traffic school come up.

Said, hey, do you guys listen on Fridays? No. They're thinking that they they're gonna turn it on. My problem is your music's gonna motivate some of those people in there to the point they may have a heart attack or some kind of problem, and they're gonna be reaching out for you. No.

It's gonna strengthen their heart. Yeah. I mean, if you're gonna listen to anything at the PT, what, are you gonna listen to Morgan Wallen croon on about, you know, his pickup truck? That doesn't motivate anybody. No.

You need to hear one life, one shot. Give it all you got. Perfect way drive. That's right. You wanna get pumped?

Who's at the gym listening to I don't know what kind of sappy pop music or whatever. Get out of here. My wife might put a knot on my head when I get home, but we were, newlyweds, and and she got me a little iPod or something that's strapped on your arm back in the day, the older style that was brand new at the time. She was so sweet. She buys it.

She downloads me a bunch of workout music. Right? Yeah. And, boy, I head out. And, I'm gonna go workout.

I'm gonna get fit and skinny and impress her. Well, her workout music was, like, not opera, but just a step above. I don't even know what the jaw drill was, but it was slow, relaxing, bring your heart rate down. Yeah. That's the kind of stuff I guess for when you're sitting in the doctor's office lobby.

Alright? But once you get out on those machines, yeah, you need to be pumped up. You need to get jacked. Alright. Let's see what this caller's got for us.

They better be exciting. K Bear, you're live on Traffic School powered by The Advocates. Who's this? This is Adam. Adam, what's up, man?

Not much. Hopefully, this won't get lieutenant Crane in trouble, but I was kinda curious. Your excitement that Victor was talking about, yeah, it's it's alright. I was just wondering how often the girls try to get out of a ticket by flirting with you. Oh.

Have you seen me? That's not a problem. The price of tickets? Yeah. Yeah.

I guess. But there are some, you know, there's some girls that got some, what would I say, boundaries. And and, yeah, I'm not the guy that they're gonna be wanting to flirt with. Now what about the dudes that try to get out of tickets flirting with? I hope that yeah.

Now that happens often. That's what I thought. I figured that'd be more likely. Hey, buddy. Aren't you that cop from traffic school?

Hey. Do you don't you hang out with Victor? I'd really like to meet him. So Every time I see one of those bumper stickers that says only gay cops pull me over, I just imagine the scenario where a cop wants to pull them over. And then he says, oh, wait.

My god. Thought, hold on a second here. I dumped out on you because I was unsure where you're going, but let's just let's just play it safe. Yeah. I made a little joke.

No. I ain't gonna I ain't gonna cuss or nothing. I'm just saying, I could just imagine they have to be like, oh, I was gonna pull him over, but now I gotta call Frank. Hey, Frank. It works for you.

Alright, Adam. I hope that answered your question. It doesn't seem to work. Isn't that a bribery or something? Like, can you get charged for that?

I've had a couple instances where people tried to get out of citations. It could be $5. I know. I'm not quite like that. But so but, no, it doesn't work.

And, boy, we're recording. Right? So the last thing you wanted is that to go. Yeah. It's on the body cam.

I'll split the drugs with you, man. Come on. Let me go. Yeah. So yeah.

Clothing malfunctions and and stuff. So Woah. Wow. Wow. I don't know how that popped out of my shirt.

Would yours is your pack big enough to do that, Victor? These days. Not because of lifting weights. No. Because of lifting, you know, donuts, cake, cookies.

Haven't done a push up in years. Cheeseburgers. People wouldn't call them pecs. I think they call them moobs. Well, that's a little beyond what I was thinking.

I was thinking they might bat their eyes or talk about how strong you look. But if they're having wardrobe malfunctions, that's a whole different animal. Once again, you haven't seen me. There's nobody going, man, you look strong. Yeah.

I think he's got about as many of the ladies flirting with him as I do. So Zero. Exactly. Do you remember the gal that called in and said, yeah. I looked on Facebook, and, man, I was disappointed.

Exactly. I'm I'm used to it. Alright. I'm not bothered. That's why we're not on camera, sweetheart.

Alright. Adam, I hope you have an awesome weekend, dude. Good to hear from you. Yeah. You too.

Have a good one. Peace. (208) 535-1015, the number to call for traffic school powered by the advocates. I guess while we're waiting for somebody to call, I'd get this thing out of the way. Listen to this from a loyal sponsor.

That's right. Go to school so you don't end up like me, kids. Go to CEI. Alright. So let's see here.

208535. 1 0 1 5 is the number to call for Traffic School powered by the Advocates Injury Attorneys, a listener driven program, which means we need your help. Call us now. Lieutenant Crane, anything new going on in the community? Anything exciting?

When are the figure eight races coming? Oh, June 7. June seventh. '3 weeks away. That's coming up quick.

That's the day after my birthday. Oh. Do you wanna celebrate it at the races? Maybe so. I think my brother and sister might even be here.

Get out of here. See you? Yeah. They're coming to visit me. Why?

I don't know, but, that seems to be the plan. Alright. Well, listeners, you know, we got some ticket giveaways coming soon then. Kay Bear, you're live on Traffic School powered by the advocates. Who's this?

This is DJ. DJ. How's it going? It's going. I'm glad it's Friday.

Me too, for sure. So what's up? So I got a traffic question concerning highways and freeways. Sorry. When you're on the on ramp to merge onto the highway or freeway, is oncoming traffic required to skid over or how does that work?

I hope you're not coming on to on oncoming traffic. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What's that?

You know what I mean. You done really good on tests in school, didn't you? Teacher, you know what my answer was. Yeah. You know what I was talking about.

Shut up, teachers. Stop being smart with me. Give me the answer. DJ, I'm so glad you brought this question up because just yesterday and today as I was driving we've covered this before on this program, but it's always good to cover it again. I'm so frustrated with some people.

Yesterday, semis. So one semi decides, oh, yeah. I better move over to let everybody on the on ramp. So then he slows down. We're all traveling at 70 miles an hour on 20, and now we're down to, like, 48 miles an hour because we got a traffic jam because one semi moved over to help everybody get on.

With that, when you're entering the highway or interstate from an on ramp, it is your responsibility to adjust your speed to enter the highway without impeding traffic. There you go. It's the responsibility of those on the on ramp. Thank you. No problem, DJ.

And I hope you have a great day, good weekend. Thanks for all the input. Yeah. I wanna bet with my sister due to that. So Nice.

How much money did you win? $20. Woah. $20. 20 bucks.

You know, I really need to start betting people about traffic law. I I've learned a lot over the years. I should just jump into the Life in Idaho Falls group and start betting people money. You need to start a YouTube page. It's, how to win bar bets.

How to win bar bets. I'm a pro. That's where you start pulling scams. Yeah. Alright, DJ.

Well, good to hear from you, and, thanks for calling. Don't spend that 20 all in one place. Right. Have a wonderful day, guys. You too.

See you. K Bear, you're live on Traffic School powered by the advocates. Who's this? Cody. Cody.

What's happening? I was just wondering. If you got a headlight out, do you get in more trouble keeping your brights on when passing somebody or having that headlight out? Oh, that's a great question. And you would get in more trouble for it's it's the same fine for the citation.

Right? But let's talk about what's more dangerous. It would be more inappropriate to have your bright lights on because what's happening now is you're impeding the view of the oncoming driver's vision. Right. Yep.

So, yep, go with your headlight out. We can stop you for either reason. And so I'd lot sooner see you with your headlight out than your bright lights on with other traffic coming towards you. Right. And then just always make sure to say, what do you mean?

I didn't know I had a headlight out. It's out? What? Are you kidding me? Leaving.

Oh, there's a parts store right there. I was just turning in. I happen to be I was turning there right now. Right now. Don't touch them all with your oily fingers.

Alright. Well Thank you. Hey. Appreciate the call. Have a good one.

Be driving tonight with that headlight out? It's not nighttime that's the problem. It's early morning. Oh, alright. Yeah.

Which which road is that again? Luckily, I think they're out patrolling more in the evenings than the mornings. We're looking for trouble twenty four seven. Simply based on the speed based on the speed that people travel on Woodruff and Sunnyside at about 05:45AM compared to 05:45PM, I think, you guys are out more in the evenings. And we don't get to Woodrow.

Sometimes that needs to be in the morning, though, because traveling 09:15 at 06:00 in the morning, it gets scary sometimes. Yeah. They, aren't they working on expanding that to, three lanes? Wish they'd sped it up a little bit. Yeah.

Don't do it now, but do it. That's Victor's motto. Everywhere I go, I'm aggravated by traffic construction right now. I want it done, but I don't want you to do it. Yeah.

I No. Alright. Well, thank you for the call. Have a good one. You too.

Thank you. Alright. See you. K Bear, are you live? Oh, no.

Unbelievable. Unbelievable. Went on the Good Friday. Yep. Show's ruined.

We're done. No. Y'all who are calling can call us back. All the lines were lit up, but, you know, we only do one call at a time. Be a little bit, chaotic if we started putting all of you on at the same time.

Though that is a old fashioned radio prank, you answer two calls at the same time and then just sit there and let them try to figure out what's going on. Hey. I got a question for you. Sure. This is an educational question for me.

There's three drinks in the studio. They're all What are you talking about? I don't see any drinks anyway. No food or drink at this studio. You're breaking the rules.

I just ratted you out on accident. I'm thirsty. But my question is yeah. There's three. They appear to be exactly the same to me.

Mhmm. You fondled each one of them. Mhmm. You want me to explain this? And then there is took one.

There is an explanation for my behavior. I'm not just crazy. Alright? You look them all over. This is weird that this is the second time this topic has come up on my show today because Peaches walked in and started asking me about my beverages.

Okay. So here's what happened. Few days ago, I brought in two cans. Alright? And they were two different flavors, but I chose one, and then I left one can.

So I'm left with one can here that's semi warm. Next day, I brought in two more cans. I drink one can. I leave another can. So then today, I come in.

I get one can. I drink it, and I was looking for the second can I brought that was cold? So I felt them all to find the cold can. That makes sense? There is a method to my madness.

Don't bring so many cans. That's the answer to that. But I'm thirsty. What if I want four cans? It's always good to have backup.

You know, it's like, when you run out of beer. That's no good. You have to plan for more than you think you need. And most of the time, the more you drink, the more you think you need. Exactly.

And then you wake up the next day, and you're like, what an idiot I am. And, caller sorry. I should have picked your call up quicker. You can go ahead and call us back. (208) 535-1015.

Nobody wants to listen to me talk about sparkling water even though it's delicious and refreshing. So, let's see here. I should have, I guess, made a post in the group since nobody wants to call us and ask us any questions about traffic law. Let's see here. I saw an article earlier about three Montana national guardsmen who were charged in an elk antler trespassing case.

I guess they took a, national guard helicopter, a Blackhawk. They were flying around over private property in the crazy mountain foothills of Sweetgrass County, and then they landed the helicopter so they could gather elk antlers. How much are elk antlers worth, lieutenant Crane? There's some money involved in that. You'll see these guys travel through, in the spring, and they'll just have their pickups heap full, and they pay by the pound.

I don't know what it is worth right now, but there is some money involved in that. By the pound? Yeah. They buy it by the pound. What do people do with them?

Hang them on the wall? Furniture and chandeliers. Yeah. Okay. Because, yeah, I my, you know, old brother-in-law, he would gather elk antlers.

When you say old because he's super old or because he's the one he's your brother-in-law. It felt weird to call my ex brother-in-law. We're still cool, but I I just thought he gathered them because, you know, hunting's nerdy for hunting hunting people. I mean, oh, look. I found some antlers.

I just thought he was a nerd and gathered them. Alright. There goes half your crowd. Your listening audience. It's okay.

I'm poking at all of them today. K. Bear, you're live on traffic school powered by the advocates. Who's this? Hey.

This is Jody. I just had a question about, during, like, construction works, when you see the signs that say fines are doubled, or fines are higher, what is the average fine for, like, construction work if you were speeding through the mountain? That's a great question. I I do know there are more it's under a different it's kinda under the code, but under a different subsection. And to be honest with you, gosh, I haven't wrote one for so long.

I don't. You usually remember when the price tag pops up. Yeah. But you go from, approximately $68 to over a hundred and some odd. Gotcha.

Yep. So you're saying you haven't wrote one for a while. Does that mean you're not controlling it? That means I'm worthless. Why aren't you doing your job, dude?

Come on. Meet those quotas. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

It couldn't be that people are suddenly obeying the law. No. No. No. That's not the case.

It's because I really haven't done anything. I I did go on patrol the other day with your friend. You wanted me to take her out and and patrol with her. Oh, this Carolina like Carolina. Yeah.

Couple months ago. And, so we're just going first stop. Sure enough, my interest. And so, yeah, I may still have the ability. I just haven't been using it.

Alright. Well, don't you don't have to start right now. You know, give it an hour, okay, before the cuffs come out. I didn't do it. Alright, ma'am.

Appreciate the call, Cody. Alright. Thanks. Yep. Have a good one.

You too. Bye. So (208) 535-1015 is the number to call if you wanna join us on the show, and we'd love to have you. K. Bear, you're live on Traffic School powered by the Advocates Injury Attorneys.

Who's this? This is Donna. Donna, what's up? Well, I have a question for the. Take your time.

I'll be back. Yes. I do. Get focused. I have a lot of road rage, so I try to control it.

But Donna, you sound way too nice to be mean. You you should know me better than that. Yeah. You're a bus driver. Right?

No. Heaven forbid. Who's our bus driver? Well, surely not Donna. I guess not.

Sorry. Sorry to the bus driver and to you, Donna, for apparently not remembering anything. Correct? I I work at ITD. Okay.

I knew it was something relating to the road. Woah. Good save. Good save. You could be a palm reader.

Hey. I see a nice good night sleep in your future. Let me hit you with this fry pan and it will all work out. Yes. So I see that you have relatives that might contact you on your birthday.

That's right. That's right. You you remember. The mentalist in studio, Lieutenant crane. We'll get you a tarot deck and have you guys play with them.

That could be fun. Yeah. Do fortune ratings. Jade, you're gonna suck just as bad as yesterday. Now he's gonna call in.

Bring it on, Jade. Come on down. He's in the building. Go out to call. He could just walk down here and fire him at any moment.

Okay, Donna. Go ahead. You think she's got room? You have the the person about the on ramp. It's an ongoing thing, and the Rigby on ramp towards Rexburg is the worst.

K? I had one I was traveling in. Could you get a could you get somebody that you work with to put a sign up that said, this place is the worst? You know, I probably could, but I'd have to make the sign myself, and that might just be a little bad. And have a gesture on the top of it.

This is the worst of it. Hand gesture. Right. To all you fine traveling people. But I had a little car drive out in front of me.

Did not go to speed limit. I had a semi up my tail end. The left lane was full. Had to slam on my brakes. About the tail end means following too close, Victor.

Oh. You're looking at that dump button. I will I will swear. I promise. But the semi, you know, had to slam on his brakes.

He did a little skid. There was black smoke. Let everybody go around. Dispress aggression. The road rage.

I pull up next up to her just to see what this person is like, and she is on her freaking phone. I hate that. Now tell me. Yes. Well, it's a hands free state.

Right? And it never fails when you're behind somebody and they slow down and then they speed up and then they slow down and speed up, it's because they're on the phone. And this woman had no idea that she almost ended many lives. Thank goodness. Do you know how that would have bothered her the rest of her life?

I don't know. I would hope it did. Probably would've. If she'd only known. Well, see, Donna, what the problem is, you know, with with Here we go.

Is that our police are being kept so busy trying to hunt down these pickup trucks with truck nuts on. They don't have time to be dealing with with these other kind of situations. How do you know we got a priority letter? I know. I I I can tell by the news what the priority with the government is in this state.

I was with the governor, last week, and I'm sorry. The first thing he said to me is, hey. Tell that Victor to watch his mouth. That's untrue. I'm joking, everybody.

I was gonna say, let's get him on the show. He'd come. You think he'd come on the show? Can you pull them over if you see that they're not using hands free? Because they are definitely definitely on the show.

Absolutely. And to be pull over. To tell you what's going on, we do an above and beyond, saturation patrol once a month. And a lot of times, we focus on that that, hands free law. And, boy, we have a lot of great success.

And, so we're out there trying to enforce it, but I don't know if you know this. Almost everybody has a cell phone, and almost everybody likes to use it when they're driving. So it's a big problem. We try to promote safety on, you know, focus on your driving, be attentive, but it is an issue. You know, the best thing to do you gotta get yourself a new car with the smart radio.

You know? Then you can just have your little apps running and this and that, and you're still hands free scrolling Facebook. You know what we need. We need something that as you drive up and you can see somebody's on their phone, a mechanism that burns their circuit board up in their phone, they have to go buy another $1,800 phone. Let's put microchips in people, and you just zap them when they're behaving inappropriately.

Dog with a boundary shocker. Just that. Just everybody has a microchip. You're seen being inappropriate. You just get a zap.

Exactly. Wake you up a little bit. That's one warning. Next time, we're turning up the voltage. That would be sweet.

But I think the FAA might have something to say about that. Yeah. Probably. Donna, we'll try to do better. Well, I I'm not saying that you don't do bad, and I I fully support you guys a %.

But I would just like to be able to, like, throw a sticker on their car that says, I'm a dork. And I hope you guys know that you know. Well once they get the distraction of all these truck nuts cleared out it'll be easier to spot phones because I I don't know if you threw them down the road you see those truck nuts and you can't think about anything else. Well, heaven forbid a child know what a truck nut looks like. Oh, don't even get started.

We're we're delving into this very You're gonna wind him up, and then I've gotta put up within the rest of the hour. I know legislators have their priorities. He's already got me all excited thing, and we're gonna have the governor come be on my show. I bet we'd get a lot of calls. Yeah.

Well, good luck, gentlemen. Thank you. Thanks. Have a good one. Alright.

K Bear, you're live on traffic school powered by the advocates. Who's this? Andrea. Andrea, what's up? Hi.

So I was, curious. If you break down on the freeway and you can ramp your car to the next median and turn around and go back to, exit you just passed, Is that okay to do, or do we need to just call a tow truck if that's something we can limp to get off of the freeway? So if it's drivable and you're limping it down the road, a lot of those crossovers, they're placed just on the other ends of the on and off ramps. Right? So you're close to an on and off ramp if you're at a crossover most of the time.

With that I broke down just past the McDeck McCammon exit last summer. Victor's got a great tow truck company that you touch with. Don't get your vehicle towed in that area. Oh, yeah. We had two last summer, and it was a headache.

I'm not surprised at all. How much did you pay? Are you as angry as I am? Actually, my insurance completely covered it, thankfully. Oh, may it must have been a different tow truck driver then because they told me they didn't work with insurance.

Nor you, buddy. Okay. So, anyway, go ahead. So So I wanna answer that question because that's a great question. By the letter of the law, it is illegal for you to use that turnaround to go back the other way, especially with a vehicle that's not running properly because what the concern is, you pull out in front of other moving traffic, and you can't get out of the way in time and there's a collision.

What's nice about that, unfortunately, the turnaround you're talking about is not really near an on and off ramp, but if it is, I would just say take the on and off ramp. If not, common sense would say, hey. If you're gonna do that, make sure the traffic is way back there. When you come on to the interstate, stay the closest to the median until you can get enough speed up to get across safely. Okay.

Cool. Alright. Thank you. Appreciate it. Appreciate the call.

Have a great weekend. You too. Peace. Is that the governor texting he's gonna come in? Yeah.

It actually is. And he said, hey. You tell Victor Will I will shut his program down. Come on, man. I don't know if there was anything that bad about you.

And you think that he makes all these decisions? No. No. He's he's the the figurehead. You know, it's it's all the other lower tier legislators who are doing all the garbage.

He just has to, you know, I guess, sign it. Like, oh, there's a lot of them and only one of me. I guess I have to sign this ludicrous law. Okay. Callers, you you you better, ask us some questions.

I'm gonna get carried away. Hey. How's it going, guys? Pretty good. Who's this?

This is Wayne. Wayne, what's up, man? Well, I've got a question for Crane there. I think that that'd be me. What my question is is I I was going through the traffic where they're putting the overpass in near Saint Anthony on Highway 20.

And I was in my work truck, and I was exceeding the speed limit as they say. And I got pulled over, but I I personally didn't get a citation. But come to find out later is they did cite the DOT on my work truck. I was just wondering how that works. So you got stopped by a commercial vehicle specialist?

Nope. He was a state cop. Okay. But he done a level three inspection on you? Correct.

Yeah. So what happens is that just there's a federal, what do I wanna say? They have a place to keep records on all your DOT numbers, and it's just saying, hey. We stopped. We talked to him about this.

We asked it to be fixed, and it goes against your, safety rating. And so you wanna make sure you you stay up on that. And, level threes typically don't hurt your safety rating, but if you continue to have the same problem, it will. Oh, okay. Because, from what we've gathered or what my boss is telling me is that we got hit with, like, 10 points.

Yep. I don't know what It is a point system. And once you get so many points and you have to do certain things to kinda bring those points down and get your safety rating back up. So it is kind of an important thing because it does affect the, owner and his pocketbook through insurances. Oh, okay.

Alrighty. That makes sense. I was we'll just been a little confused by it, so that's all I needed to know. Yep. So yeah.

Don't don't get any points taken off your boss's record because it will cost him financially. Yeah. I know. We've been told. He explained that very loudly.

You bunch of losers. Come on with you people. I trained you off. I could get any monkey to drive that truck. That's what he claims.

But I'm still working here. Alrighty, guys. Take care. Hey. You too, man.

Have a good one. Yep. (208) 535-1015, the number to call for Traffic School powered by the advocates. That remind you of Jade. He's probably like, I would like to fire Victor right now, but how do I replace him?

He's made it very clear that I'm easily replaceable. I mean, if you're a radio personality, that is not job security. Do you have a personality? Tiny bit. Tiny bit of person.

I'm working on it. I'm working on bringing more of it out. But, radio management, they don't, seem to think that Appreciate it. As much as you do. Yeah.

That's why when radio hosts get fired, they don't even say anything about it. They just put somebody else on air. Yeah. And they're like, yeah. Look.

Nobody cares. So listeners, when I get fired, please call and complain relentlessly. Jade's email address, I'm happy to give it out. I want him pestered relentlessly. Alright.

(208) 535-1015, the number to call if we have any last minute questions for traffic school powered by the advocates. I was trying to dig up some other stupid stories from earlier in the week to ask you about, but I forgot about them. Well, I'll just talk about no longer working here. If that was to happen, my dad used to say, if you wanna know how much you're gonna be missed at your employment if you're gone, put your hand in a bucket of water. And when you pull it out, the void left is how much they're gonna miss you.

That's pretty accurate. Yeah. Not at all. I think we might have, like, three listeners who might, you know, be a little upset, maybe crazy j. It would be sad.

You know? I could see him on your porch shoveling snow in the winter just crying. Yeah. I'd I'd just have to, start some new show from home with crazy j. The masked maniac.

Oh, we we'd be masked because we wouldn't want people to know who it is saying all this crazy stuff. K, Barry, you're live on Traffic School powered by the advocates. Who's this? This is Mike in Pocatello. Mike, what's up, man?

Hey. Not much. How's it going? Pretty good. Good.

Good. Hey. I got a question. So last year, my wife and I were driving, and we decided to put me in the bed of my truck with my four year old daughter. And we got pulled over by a by a police officer.

My wife does not love me. Some people can't be helped. They're like Wait. What's your wife? The genius of the day.

I can see how he's with your Hey, honey. I got a great idea. Alright, Mike. No. I really do love you.

I just paid your insurance policy. Life insurance, that is. So we we were just driving through town, and we we get stopped by this police officer. We're going maybe 50 miles an hour because, you know, we we just barely turned onto a new road. And he he yells at us and he couldn't get up to speed quite fast tonight.

And the officer says that my daughter needed to be inside of her car seat. So he he actually wrote us a ticket for it, and we had to go pick it up. And it it was pick up your ticket? He's like, I am writing this ticket. I'm setting it three blocks over there.

You go get it. Basically. So it was a Sunday it was a Sunday afternoon, and then had to go pick it up the next day. Woah. Why weren't you at the car show?

You're in Pocatello. Yeah. Do you ever hear crazy cars plugs every week? You should have been at the car show. Should've been at the car show.

I probably would've got pulled over there too. Alright. So I don't know why you had to go get a ticket. So my my my question is, is it illegal for it to be a passenger? Hold on.

Why didn't you get a ticket on-site? Why did you have to go get it? Okay. So the officer was, I guess, responding to another call or something, and he he yelled at us to to put the kid in the car seat in the cab. You can't make your slum, our child.

If I wanna endanger the life of my child, it's my business. I'm the one that is responsible for her birth. I don't got truck nuts on the back of this pickup. Why are you looking at me? Okay.

So he's headed to another call. So he yells at you, you call the police station and pick up your ticket. Basically. Okay. Alright.

Exactly how it went. So, so I go in, and I pick up the ticket, and I asked the so it wasn't even the same officer who gave me the ticket, who handed me the ticket. It was a different officer because that guy was out doing whatever. Yeah. Arrest another bad guy.

Definitely. Yell it at other innocent people. Just yell at people. Yeah. You get down to the station and you get your ticket.

That's her laughing in the back. Oh. She keeps enjoying this. So the, the officer who hands me the ticket, he says, well, I don't know why you're getting a ticket. You live in the middle of Pocatello, Idaho.

Why are you getting a ticket for having your daughter in the the back in the the bed of your truck if you were in there with her? It it didn't make any sense. So I I look up all of, like, you know, all the rules and regulations, Department of Transportation Ken, that cop. She ain't let me. Yeah.

You too much. Fuck. Can we get a ticket for having our kid in the back of the truck with us sitting back there. Alright, Lieutenant Crane. Let me ask you.

That? What's that? No. Go ahead. Go ahead.

So let me ask you. Did you pay the ticket, or did you take it to court? We took well, we we took it to court, and the prosecutor dropped the charges. Okay. Alright.

And what was the reasoning behind that? The reasoning behind that was we we had looked up every rule and regulation about child safety in a vehicle, and there was nothing that said that a child could not be in the bed of a pickup truck. Yeah. There was nothing that said that was unsafe. I mean, this question has come up a lot.

It has. And I'm gonna answer now. There's gonna be some mad people. Right? Yeah.

You can be in the bed, and it's not illegal. This is the common sense thing, though. As long as there's not truck nuts on the back. Is this As long as there's not truck nuts. Exactly.

No. Is this really where you want your four year old child is the question. Not because I think your wife's a bad driver because I don't know her, but there's risk with every other driver out there. Now one thing the code does read is with adults, they don't need to be in a seat belt if all seat belts are being in you are in use. But Right.

If your child is required to be in a car seat, if they're in the cab of that vehicle, they need to be in a car seat. So when you talk about the bed or a camp trailer or a shell, yeah, there's no specific law on that, but, man, common sense rules. Except when it comes to the people making the laws, apparently. So keep trying to explain. Hypothetical.

You put a baby in the back of your pickup truck in the bed just rolling around. Now we're now we're talking about health and welfare issues where you get abuse not abuse. I've I just lost that. I had something in my mind when you're talking about that, but, no, there's charges for abuse of the child. So at what age are you able to put your little kid And let him roll around.

Pick up. Put him roll around. Take corners at 20. Yeah. Do they have to be peaches sized babies?

You know? What's the deal? I think what happens is you have a I have to have a totality of the circumstances. Right? Can you justify and would a jury of your peers agree that this was unreasonable?

Right? So would this be child abuse if I put this child in the back of my bed and I'm rocking them around and rolling them around? Would that be child abuse? I mean, as someone who enjoyed riding in the back of my dad's truck when I was a kid Or in the window of the station wagon. Yeah.

I mean, I get it. It's fun, but it it seems to me like it would be real easy to just make a law. You can't put your kids in the back of the truck. Yeah. If we have to wear a seat belt, if you have to wear a helmet if you're a kid, why why not you can't put them in the back of a truck?

I think you're right. I think it'd be nice if there's a rule there in place, but I think what maybe some people think is common sense should rule. Okay. Then why not? We have a seat belt law.

Values of common sense. Yeah. Right. If they have to make a law to tell people to wear a seat belt Yeah. You can't obviously rely on common sense.

You're a cop. You've met some of these people that you've pulled over. Morons, lieutenant Crane. Common sense. Give me a break.

Have you read any comments on Facebook? Common sense. No. I don't have Facebook. I don't like you.

See? I don't I don't wanna get tied up in that. Oh, it's it's probably better for your mental health to avoid it. It. Yeah.

I know. Well, I don't I I'm not wound up like you. See? It's probably because you don't have social media. So Well, cool.

Yeah. I I just wanted to to see what what your thoughts were on that because it it just seemed really bizarre. I mean, she was in my lap. Yeah. Now I mean, and Victor's got a card out right now, sending getting her 80¢ to you for your father of the year.

So Now listen. You you got a thing from the perspective of an Idaho politician. What is, you know, more dangerous to your children? Know at all. Yeah.

What's more dangerous to your children? Being in the back of a pickup truck at high speed or going to the library? I mean, seriously. You know what's interesting about this is we've been in this new, regime less than a year. I like that you call it a regime.

It's very fitting to call it that. But the last regime for the last four years, I did come in and power over Victor on all this stuff. You should've frustrated with. Frustrated with hey. Hey.

Like I said, I like, truck nuts in the library, so I'm very disappointed. I wanna be able to pick up my vile horror novels and swing my truck nuts down the road. I think that's the last thing you would ever had on your vehicle. I just don't think you fit that category. Yeah.

I don't have any truck nuts. You would have, like, a guitar and that guy with long hair. Well, what what if it's a guitar with a naked lady on it hanging from your truck? I'm seeing. I'm seeing.

That's right. Because because people are very offended by boobs. You know? I mean, I've met so many people. Even you catch a glimpse, you know, they might have a heart attack.

Very offensive. You mothers should all be very ashamed. I try to get a wholesome place that help me heal. Listen to the program. Yeah.

Same thing. You've dragged it into the mud. Yeah. Today's one of those days. Like I said, I finally got some good sleep for the first time in a week.

Hey, Bryce. I apologize. I'm so sorry. I didn't know Victor was gonna be out of line. Sorry.

I can't control him. I can't control him, Bryce. Well, now we know why we're never on the program. Guys, Victor can't mind his manners. I know.

Shame upon me. Alright, man. Well, I hope we answered your question. Yeah. You did.

I'm not the youngest guy, right, in the world, but I'm kinda on the younger edge of the the, people that attend that place. And so I'm thinking Bryce is probably the yeah. This program is not for our facility. Oh, we're trying to get them pulled. Yes.

No? Y'all, they're fired up. They're way fired up now. What's he talking about? You mean I'm gonna get in trouble for truck nuts?

Alright, ma'am. Well, I hope you and your lady have a great weekend. And if you wanna adopt your child out, we'd be interested. Give her a signal. My kids moved out.

I'm good. She really likes baby metal and wind rose. So she might be good company. She got good taste in music. You you've raised her right.

Exactly. Aside from putting her in the back of the pickup truck. Oh, honey. Come here. I lied when that Come on, honey.

I love you. Get in back in a way. Oh, you're safe. You're on daddy's lap. No.

I really appreciate it today. Hope you guys both have a great weekend. You too. Peace. Bye bye.

Look at that. We got people wound up. All the lines were lit up. Alright. Final call.

This program's gone kinda long. K Bear, make it quick. K. I actually have been seeing this happening a few times, but emergency vehicles, when they're coming down the road, the vehicle is going in the same direction as them, have not been pulling over and, like, stopping completely to let them pass. How much trouble can they get in if a cop was to catch them?

Oh, it's a it's an infraction. And, yeah, it would be a citation, that they would be required to pay. But, yeah, you're exactly right. And I I'd always say this when that happens, think about it as if it was one of your loved ones we responded to to help. Right.

Yep. And what about the people going in the opposite direction? I know it's a slightly different thing. Like, they don't come to a complete stop. Well, no.

The code reads yeah. The code reads, you'll pull the nearest, curb and and stop. Yeah. If it's an ambulance directions. Ambulance or fire truck, it's it's everybody.

Now if you're on a divided highway, no. Right. Yep. Because I've I've just been seeing it everywhere where it's like an ambulance is coming the opposite way for me. I'm pulling over to the far right to stop, but, like, car is going the same direction as the ambulance.

They are still driving. So do you live next to the hospital? No. I don't. Because wherever you're at, I do not wanna hang out there.

It's everywhere. Every moment. Every moment, there's an ambulance. I've I've seen it on on Hit Road. That's, like, once and then off of Sunnyside another time where it's just like nobody's stopping for the ambulance.

Yeah. They're they're supposed to give them the right away. Some people these days are pretty good. Well, that's why, you know, I'd like you to talk to your buddy, the governor, and you, you know, you need to tell him to implement a new law that every resident of Idaho is required to listen to traffic school powered by the advocates every Friday morning at 08:45 so they can be educated about these things. A learning program.

Yeah. Well, we tried to get some new listeners today, and you ran them off. I bet they're gonna listen every week now. Yeah. Or or maybe the ambulance needs to get a police escort now.

No. Like, you go people over. Yes, people. Emergency vehicles pull over, sit and wait, be a good human being. The first one goes through.

The second one gets whacked. Alright. Well, we appreciate your call today, and, you have a great weekend. You as well, guys. Thanks.

Peace. Alright. We can end the show now. I mean, this was a great show. I'm gonna call this one of the best ones we ever done.

Most educational. Bryce is sitting in his business going, my number is going down. No. It's coming back next Friday. I hope that with the plugs, he gets increased business.

Yeah. Lots of people listen to this show. He's walking around, putting his arm around some elderly folks going, yeah. I know what you heard that young man say. Hey.

Thanks for calling me a young man. You just made me feel pretty good. And I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. You shouldn't be exposed to that.

Alright, everybody. We'll get out of here, but, well, I I'll get out of here. Lieutenant Graham's asking. Getting out of here. You're staying.

Yeah. I'm gonna keep talking in a few, everybody. You never know what I'm gonna say. Alright. Traffic school powered by the advocates, Friday mornings.
