Traffic School - 08/08/2025

Let the party begin. Traffic School powered by the advocates injury attorneys (208) 535-1015, the number to call. You want Lieutenant Crane to talk about that on air? That's fine. Okay.

So I blew his mind last night. He called me up. I don't even remember why you called me. Tell you what a loser you are. Lieutenant Crane, has he called you to to tell you goodnight before?

You did that to me? No. I haven't I why didn't I think of that? I don't call Lieutenant Crane. Those are lonely, lonely nights, aren't they?

It's a it's a fun new trend. You just call your guy friends I know. And you'll be like, I I was just calling to tell you goodnight. Yeah. You tell me he can't even go boat with me because that's not what men do.

But That yeah. I learned. Getting on another man's boat is not manly. But calling me and saying goodnight would be fine? That's fine.

Yeah. That's when you and I are gonna have some concerns. I called Peaches, called Ben, and, I called Jade. I he calls me and goes, hey, Peaches. It's just like that teenage prank phone call, like Snicker.

And then his girlfriend's in the background laughing her butt off, and he's like, hey. I just wanna say goodnight, bro. It's fun. And he wonders why he's down to three friends. The the pool is getting pretty low there.

You called Jade too. I did call Jade, and he was happy for the phone call. So you should start doing that to your buddies. Yeah. Yeah.

I know my buddies. K, Mary. You're live on Traffic School powered by The Advocates. Who's this? Hey.

Sunday. Sunday. Sunday. Alright. Get the plugs out, Carl.

Where are you gonna be this weekend? Oh, dude. I I got a question for sergeant Crane. Are you gonna bring that Mustang down to CoTampaert Park for Chubbock days? Co Tampon Park Chubbock Days.

I'm actually gonna be in, Driggs, Idaho this weekend. They got figure eight races up there, and I'm up helping them. Oh, oh, nice. That'd be cool to check out. Absolutely.

You know No doubt. What, are you gonna give the keys to Victor? He can bring it down. Oh, he, he's got a triple date to a very fun activity that my wife and I were uninvited to this morning. Wait a minute.

I I said I was I said I'd try. I thought it was a quadruple date. It's a quadruple date. I thought it was Jade. Jade, his wife, Josh and Chantelle, you and Becca, me and Aubrey.

Yes. Yeah. Quadruple date. Weird Al. Yeah.

And and my wife had heard about it. Victor's like, hey, don't you worry about it. I'll take care of you. I am the top DJ in Southeast Idaho. And, yeah.

This morning, it was like, hey. Put your wine in. You're not going. Oh, it is. He got he got you a ticket to see Weird Al the Tweaker right there on the street corner.

Yeah. It's funny. That's funny. Oh, and, by the way, the two worst songs ever in the history of music, Wham, Wake Me Up Before You Go Go, and Rick Astley. That just hands down.

They need to pay further crimes against humanity. Those those two are absolutely hands down in my opinion. These are songs that were made. I don't know, man. I mean, never gonna give you up.

Come on. Everybody loves that. Yeah. I know. Well, well, crazy, Carl.

Hope that the Chubbock days go good. Hope you have a good weekend. And, Alright. We'll talk to you soon. Guys have a good one, man.

You too. Alright. We'll talk to you soon. Bye. Bye.

He was already trying to plug the, car show on the Cabaret one zero one Facebook group. Should I accept it? Accept the pending post? Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. He's crazy car post about the car show. Yeah. Earlier, we were talking about the worst song of all time. And what what what would you have to say, lieutenant cream?

What song drives you crazy? Let me let's go back to that because I'm gonna think for just a second there was one that played for hours, and I don't know if you remember this. It was down in Pocatello. There's something going on with the radio station, and so they just had this song run for days. It was Louie Louie.

Do you remember that half tone? I I don't remember that specifically. Kmart did that with Metallica one, but that's a great song. Louie Louie is that that would probably get irritating really fast. After, like, the thirty sixth time, I'm like, I'm gonna change this.

Yeah. You finally decided. (208) 535-1015, the number to call for. Traffic School powered by the advocates. Peaches had a question that he left on the notepad here.

We were talking about, when you were in school and you were at, what, a private school? Yeah. I was very, very young. A Page Private School is what it was called, but we had this a teacher that would, like if we weren't napping, we'd walk around the newspaper and start hitting us in the head with it. That'll help.

Right. Yeah. Knock us out. But then we, like, spiraled into the whole conversation about is it still legal here in Idaho for teachers to have that ruler and, you know, hit the kids? Yeah.

Can teachers hit kids with a rule? Oh, man. You know, that used to be the way to keep kids in line, and you knew you had a teacher that would tune you up. Right? Unfortunately, parents have got involved and said, hey.

That's a battery, and, you can't do it. You can't whack them anymore. You can't touch them. And a battery falls on any unwillful touching. Okay.

Because I thought I remembered hearing when I was growing up that at least when I was young, what do they call it? What's the what's the term for, teachers giving a kid a good smack? Correction. Correction. That yeah.

That that was legal. No. It's never it's never banned, but it was accepted. Right? Because your parents are like, you're gonna get a worse beating at home.

Yeah. Victor beats me with the bad joke stick over there. Yeah. No. Don't don't spread the word about that, Pete.

It's, you know, secret. When I was I'm sorry I failed. When I was going through, school, man, you do whatever you want to me. Just don't tell my parents. I had another story pop up earlier where this guy, he was mad at his ex boss.

So he, decided to go blow his car up, put a, you know, some kind of explosive underneath it and blew it up. That seems legit. Yeah. No, the boss wasn't in it. Is that a vandalism charge?

What kind of charge you get for setting off explosives? Yeah. You get all kinds of charges for that. There's three or four felonies there. Yeah.

You can't do that. I I kind of imagine that the authorities don't dig, use of explosives in pretty much any situation. Years ago, we'll give, at the time, it was Broadway Ford. We'll give them some props for this. I was in there getting one of our Ford Crown Vic serviced, and a a person come in and said, I think I got a pipe bomb under my car.

And, the the head mechanic or the manager or the the, service department at that time is like, well, let's walk out there. So he walks out with him and comes back in. He's like, Marvin, we've got a pipe bomb on Jesus. Holy cow. Man.

Wonder what they did to make somebody mad. K Bear, you're live on Traffic School powered by the Advocates Injury Attorney, c of Peaches. Who's this? JD. JD, what's up, homie?

You know, I'm just I'm I'm disappointed, and my question is, so if your supposedly best friend doesn't call you, say goodnight. Oh, no. Best friend anymore. You haven't slept all night, have you? I it's I'm I'm dying here.

He said he said he'd come tuck you in tonight. I'm I'm sorry, Katie. I'll make did didn't I call you one time and tell you good night? No. Okay.

I'll add you to the my to my list. See, that's what happens. You hurt feelings. This list is getting long. Now I gotta call you.

I gotta call JD. I mean, you don't need to call me. Not Jimmy Dooley. You know what's gonna be weird about that? You're gonna call me and say goodnight, and it's gonna be, like, 6PM.

I'm gonna be, like, what? I'm just getting started. I I I feel like he's disregarded everything we've done together. Alright. I'm I'm sorry, JD.

I'll I'll make sure to call you. Alright. That's all I got. Thanks, guys. Alright.

Thanks, JD. He sounds very sad. I don't wanna make JD sad. Have a great day. You too.

See you. Yeah. And and I'm getting in trouble here. Because last night, I knew I needed to talk to you, and so I knew I need to call you early because you go to bed early. Generally.

Yeah. Generally, I do. I, should have went to bed a little bit earlier last night. But It sounded to me like there was some stuff going on there that was probably taking your attention away from what really should have been happening. That's right.

It's a nice distraction keeping me up. Alright. Let's go to this caller here. K, Bear. You're live on Traffic School powered by the advocates.

Who's this? Hey. This is Zach. How are we doing? Zach, doing great.

What's up, man? Hey. So, question for you guys was, is it legal to have your kids in the pickup truck bed when you're riding around Idaho? Unfortunately, there's no law that says you can't have them back there. We've talked about this multiple times.

It just depends on how much you love them. Okay. So it's totally fine to have them on in the back on the way to, like, the range or something. But if you have seat belts available in the cab, they need to be in seat belt. Okay.

So once all the seats are full, then you could throw them in the back. Yep. Oh, really? Point. You can't I'd like to see that.

Yeah. Yeah. Alright, dude. Yeah. Don't recommend it, but, you know, just make sure you don't have truck nuts on the back of that pickup.

You know? Then you got a problem. You know? Common sense legislation. You know, some of my best memories are growing up in Vegas, hanging out in the back of the pickup truck with pops riding around.

You know? That's not what I've heard about Vegas. Hey. No. If you happen to go off road, hit a couple of fun bumps, get them bouncing around back there, it's even more fun.

You know? Yeah. I've ridden in the back of a pickup when I was a kid. That's for sure. But times were different back then.

I can't remember what the show was, but there was a show that come out where they surfed on the car. I'm gonna crack a cold one. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Isn't it cool the rules have been lifted for you?

Oh my. So we we seen that show then we decided it was a good idea. We'd go out several weekends in a row that year, and we had a blazer. My buddy owned a Chevy blazer. We'd stand up on the top of that, and it was a contest to see who could stand on it the longest driving out through the desert roads before you fell.

Oh, boy. Wrong with you guys? No wonder you're so weird. How many times did you fall? A lot.

Yeah. And there's nothing better than a lava rock bed in all going down into Oh, man. I mean, even I wasn't that dumb. Well, right up, man appreciate you guys. Yeah.

Have a good one. You too. Bye bye. Peace. K Bear, you're live on Traffic School powered by the advocates.

Who's this? This is Kyle. What was that? Well, I have a my name is Carl. Carl, what's up?

So I have an actual traffic school question. And the others have it, man. So I know that the state of Idaho actually just passed into law that you can go 15 miles an hour over passing, but that doesn't mean that you get to sit in that passing lane and just continually go 15 miles an hour over. Correct? That's correct.

And we probably need to clarify some other things. The law doesn't say you can go 15 miles an hour while passing. The law says, if you're on a two lane road, there's a dotted line giving you the permission to pass by law. You can come out speed up over 15 or up to 15 miles an hour or the speed limit and then come back into your lane and immediately come back to the speed limit. What has to happen though is a person you're passing has to be doing under the speed limit.

Only has to be one mile an hour under the speed limit, but they have to be doing under the speed limit. Now what they added this year was if you are on a roadway that has a passing lane, you can come out and pass in that passing lane. Like on I 15 or Highway 20, that's a four lane designated. You can't get out in the passing lane and go 15 over the whole way and just say, oh, I'm I'm passing cars. I'm passing cars.

That's not how that works. On those, the speed limit's the speed limit. Right. Okay. Well, that clarifies a lot for me.

Cool, man. Well, good question. And, thank you for paying attention to new laws. Yeah. Or laws at all.

Yeah. That's right. Thanks for paying attention to the law. Thank you for being a responsible adult. Yep.

You have a good weekend, dude. You too. Thanks. See you. K Bear, you're live on Traffic School powered by the advocates.

Who's this? This is Matt. Matt, what's up? Is I had a question. Is it like, if you're just driving a motorcycle and you get hit by an eagle, what are you supposed to do?

Hopefully, you have your insurance premiums paid up because you're going to the hospital. Fair fair enough. Yeah. No. That's just a road hazard.

There's nothing you can do. Hopefully, you have motorcycle coverage, that's not just liability. You have full coverage because there's probably gonna be damage to your motorcycle, and the eagle's not carrying any insurance. I can promise you that. Okay.

Well, I was riding the other night and a big old bird. I don't know if it was an eagle or not, but it it it hit me. Like, it hit my windshield. When you come to a couple hours later, you couldn't remember? Not I didn't know if it was an eagle or a big ole hawk.

I wasn't sure. Stupid bird. But I know it's illegal to kill a kill an eagle. So Yeah. Not in that situation.

You can't run over one. You can't shoot them. Right? Or you can't intentionally do it, but you had no intent. You would rather not have had that incident happen, but it did.

Okay. Alrighty. I was just wondering wondering if you had to report it or anything if it was. Well, you don't even know. You're gonna start feeling better in a few weeks.

Alrighty. Glad you're okay, buddy. He still don't know whether or it could've been a squirrel. No worries. Been.

Well, you, be safe this weekend. Watch out for birds. Thank you. Thank you, guys. Thanks, man.

Peace. (208) 535-1015, the number to call for Traffic School powered by the advocates. Just do this real quick. That's right. Educate yourself.

You know? I was like, zoned out, and then all of a sudden, you're talking to me. You gotta get a, you know, quick little ad in there. A little plug. Little plug for, the College of Eastern Idaho.

2085351015, the number to call people. You know, while we're waiting for people to call, wanna remind everybody that the Madison County Fair is going down next week. Week? Yeah. So if you wanna go to the, crazy figure eight races, we're giving away tickets, between now and then, and that's going down August 15.

Friday night. Friday night in Rexburg. Woah. Crazy. Hey.

You say it wasn't crazy, but it looked to where Peach has found his action. I know. I know. Them them Rexburg girls. Wild.

Hey, Mary. Hi. Hi. Please turn down your radio. And quit yelling at Victor.

I'm like, I'll let them all you want. Hey. You better be careful. He'll be calling you and telling you good night before you know it. Well, who's this?

Andrea. Andrea. What's your, question for traffic school? Besides, you you don't want to turn your radio down. Yeah.

Andrea, you can go ahead and turn that radio down. It'll be just fine. Okay. How closely can a officer follow you legally. Okay.

How close can you guys just be creeping on people, like, you know, crane? Are we Well, I've got them we've got them literally in a car, and we've had them literally bumper to bumper with us within five five feet. What do you do for a living? Because it seems suspicious. We were just going up to Island Park and back home.

Oh, in the stop and go traffic. Yeah. Hey. Go to IdoPark today. I got my motor unit up there, and he's writing citations.

And they're giving them out for $68 a pop. Hey, Brian. Up to 155. Yay. No.

We'll not do that. So if you're traveling to Highland Park today, be cautious. Slow down. Seriously. No.

There was no traffic. It wasn't bumper to bumper. It was just a regular day, and we went up to West Yellowstone to look around the stores. Can you believe that person? I know what store you went to.

I saw it the last time I drove to West Yellowstone. We know what you're up to. Not the store we went to. Trooper Hill would be happy to talk to you on the way home. We go to a knife store and a little ice cream store.

Yeah. Yeah. Afterwards. Need some ice cream, man? Hey, dude.

You feel like some ice cream? Because I assure him. Hey. Can I Wrong store? Hey.

Can I make a point to you? Yeah. First, it is legal in Montana. Second, it's not No. It was in Idaho.

Oh, I get it. But I'm talking about the store. Oh, yes. When you're there. Yeah.

We appreciate that. It's legal in Montana. We respect that. We're glad that it pushes you over to other stores like the ice cream store. It helps with the economy.

We seriously don't go to that store. But also with that, know that once you cross back into Idaho, once you cross back into Idaho, it's no longer legal. And, man, my idol, Island Park Trooper has a lot of success with that. I bet. Oh, I realize that.

I realize that. No. No. We go to a knife store up there. There's a guy that makes Damascus Steel knife.

Ah. Very nice. Very nice. So the the rule would be, he has to follow the same rules as anybody else on following you. Anybody else?

Yep. He's no better than anybody else when it comes to following too close law. Because we've literally had a Fremont County sheriff on our bumper. Oh, Fremont County. Uh-huh.

Yeah. Yeah. Man, those guys are awesome. So, well, appreciate the call today. I hope you don't get tailgated by the cops anymore.

Boy, doesn't it bring the nerves up. Oh, yeah. When's it gonna turn the lights on? Turn them on already. Alright.

Well, if you keep keep us being that store, and I'll keep us being my store. Okay? Well, thank you, Andrea, and hope you have a great weekend. I hope you too do. Alright.

See you. Bye. K Bear, you're live on traffic school powered by the advocates. Please turn down your radio and do it the first time. I'm only gonna ask one.

It's off. Okay. It's off. Who's this? Christian.

Christian, what's up, dude? Is Calvin? Calvin. What's up, dude? And get your name right.

I said this the first time, and we just kinda got bumped up. Oh, anyway, long long long story short here. Country roads. Take me home. Where we got the two I got the double line.

Got the double line. Everybody's out and about Hey. What country roads are you driving on? Because the country roads we drive on, there's no painted lines. Yeah.

This is dirt. On the hill between Bonneville and Justin County. Yeah. That's a highway. That's called US 20.

Okay. One has got okay. No. Like, say you got just two lanes. Then you got a double lane.

Paint it in the middle, boys. Keep the focus. A lot of caffeine going on over there. I can tell you. You said I'm like, you've got a lot of caffeine going on.

He's wild though. Anyway, so long story short, you got bicyclists on the road. Double, you know, double lines so you can't pass. And if and say if it's, like, 35 and then they're going 25. Are you I don't mean I don't wanna bump and run, but I don't want them to feel uncomfortable because sometimes you pass them, they go, like, whatever.

And then sometimes you pass them, they're giving you a look like, why are you doing that? If you wanna break the law down, technically, they're operating operating as a motor vehicle. Right? So you're not supposed to pass on a double yellow. Common sense tells you this.

Feel uncomfortable. Yeah. Common sense tells you this. Common sense tells you You should join the Woody Show. They barrel over the top of everybody.

But common sense Alright. Alright. Cool. Common sense will tell you this. If they're riding on the right shoulder like they should be, you can wait till there's clear traffic, slowly go out around them, and pass, and no no officer's gonna bother you for that.

Okay. Yep. Just wanted to clear that up. But if there's oncoming traffic and you squeeze between the two and make it dangerous, then somebody's gonna be chatting with you. Roger that.

K. Hey. Thanks, Calvin. Hope you have a good weekend. That was a good long story made short.

Thank you, guys, for clearing that up. I appreciate it. Yep. You have a good one, man. Appreciate what you do out on the roads too.

Thanks for forever. All law enforcement. Thank you. Absolutely. Thank you.

Thanks, Calvin. Thank you. Peace. You guys have a good night. Have a good night.

Is that why am I at work? K Bear, you're live on Traffic School powered by the advocates. Who's this? This is Troublemaker. Troublemaker.

What's up? Hey. Troublemaker, I got a question for you. Victor was just Okay. Victor was just told to have a good night, and he's gonna.

He's got a great plan made for the night, but he invited my wife and now has told me to uninvite her. How How would you go about doing that? I'm gonna just have to buy you guys some tickets. Oh, that's that's harsh, man. I thought I might I I said I'd try.

Yeah. He gets to have a good night, but the others around him don't. But you're the number one DJ. You're the number one DJ. You can't pull that off?

Come on. I I got a credit card. I can pull it off. I'll pay for it the next seven years. Just I was, getting a little clarification on that, lady's call about, following too closely.

Is that four seconds for, or Yeah. I think What was it? When I was in driver's ed, it seemed like they told us, like, three seconds, you know, from bumper to you pass the timeline and then you pass the timeline. Yeah. And so what happens is it used to be, a car length for every 10 miles an hour.

Well Yeah. At 80, you'd be eight car lengths behind. Right? Yeah. And so traffic wouldn't flow well.

So what the wording says now is reasonable. Reasonable. Yeah. Okay. And how do we determine that?

If you hit somebody from behind, you're falling too close. There you go. Stay back. It's an easy one to fix. Okay.

Let's see. You ran into him. You couldn't stop in time. You're falling too close. But we do, you know, if we have them out there, I know there's a lot of stops made, by our troops that are on the 80 mile an hour zones where they're less than a couple car lengths and they will stop.

Because there's no way with your reaction time, you're gonna get to the brakes and stop in time if there's an emergency. Yeah. See that all the time. Yep. Well, good question, man.

Appreciate the call, and hope you have an awesome weekend. Alright. See you, guys. Peace. K, Bear.

You're live on Traffic School powered by the advocates. Who's this? This is Adam. Adam, what's up, dude? So your earlier comment about explosives and how the authorities aren't fond of them made me think back to something.

I'm wondering, what do I do if I have a beach dead whale on my shore? Can I use it again? It worked out great for Oregon back in the eighties. Yeah. He's a George Strait fan.

He's got a beachfront property here in Idaho. You seen that video, lieutenant Cram, where they, tried to blow up a whale on the beach? No. They put blubber all over them? Yeah.

They, like, smashed a car. Like, they were trying to blow it out to sea, but it did not work. And I guess it was rotten and very disgusting. I did hear a story where, our Kennedy, who's in Trump's administration, back in the day, cut the head off a well and hold the home on his minivan. He's a weird dude.

I don't know. There's a lot of Do you call him good night? Because you two seem a lot like that. Oh, this is a stair Kennedy. I'm sure that totally happened.

I don't wanna hear that voice before bed. Woah. You're gonna have nightmares. The greatest thing about that video is the reporter trying to be all matter of fact while there's raining bits of whale. It's pretty funny.

I've watched that video a lot of times. We've talked about it on air and played the audio. It's it's a pretty funny news report. You know? And they they actually if you go to that particular beach, they have us, like, memorial sign, that you can take a selfie with.

I I can see I need a job where I don't have much to do like you. I just yeah. Look stuff up. Yeah. That's what I do.

Yeah. So I've watched this so many times. Well, I wonder if that ended up being a cautionary tale for any other times whales got beached. Like people are like, we could just blow it up. Wait, Wait.

Oh, I'm sure this for I'm sure it did because it did not work out well. Well Yeah. No pun intended. It's not funny. Well, that's my only contribution.

You guys have a good one. Hey. You too, man. Peace. Bye.

K Bear, you're live on traffic school powered by the advocates. Who's this? This is Q, man. How's it going? Doing good, q, man.

I wanna tint my windows in the truck because it's a day cab, and it gets kinda kinda hot in here. What are the rules on tinting windows on a semi? On federal are you running intrastate or intrastate? Meaning what? Are you going across state lines or staying in the state?

No. Staying in the state. Alright. You know, commercial vehicle questions are always crazy because the Fed's laws change every day. You know?

It seems like. Oh, yeah. With that being said, I will get you an answer, and I'll get back with you. Because I think I know the answer, but I don't wanna give you the wrong information. Okay.

So what what what are you tell me tell me what you mean, and I'll take it with a grain of salt. How about that? No. No. We only get a Come on.

You are live on Traffic School powered by the advocates. Who's this? This is Mark. Mark, what's up, man? What do you wanna know?

Hey. Good morning, Victor. Good morning, lieutenant Crane. Good morning. Yeah.

I got a two part question. Do you guys, when I'm meaning, like, law enforcement or your state agency, have any type of, like, seminars or something? Like like, you guys go out of state to, like, other places to study up on different techniques? Absolutely. We partner with our, neighbors all the time.

We do what we call nine state conference and all kinds of things like that. We've done things back when, I was in investigations. We've done the drug endangered children program where we went around to different states and taught that because we were the leaders in that. So, yeah, we we work with our neighbors a lot. So you guys don't know about my record?

Your record? Is that what he said? His record? Yeah. We could find out real easy.

He's he's got that computer. It knows all. And, also, my second question, would have you ever heard of armed patrol? And would you guys ever go on that like you would, see I've seen Utah on there, the state troopers there. No.

I I don't think we've we've been contacted. We've turned that down. And Okay. Is that like cops? Is that one of those kind of shows?

It's a TV show. Yeah. It's sort of like cops. Yeah. Okay.

Sorta like them, but the ones that wanna be them. Just kidding. I don't know. I have no idea. Yeah.

We've seen a lot of crazy stuff on there. So, yeah, it's it's they they do a very good job at keeping cool. And I I applaud you guys. You know, sometimes you just get somebody that's a little bit, crazy. Once in a while, I have seen some YouTube videos of people being, you know, kinda wild when they get pulled over.

You tried to ruin my life. So yeah. Yep. Alright. Well, you guys have a great day weekend.

And yeah. You too, Mark. Thanks for being out there. Hey. Thanks for not bringing up this evening.

He wanted to, but then he skirted around it. Good night, Mark. Have a good one, man. Thanks. You too.

Yeah. No. They you only go on game shows. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. What what did you say? January? January. January.

I cannot wait for the, the viewing party we're gonna throw. Yeah. K, Mayor, you live on Traffic School powered by the advocates. Who's this? Zach.

Zach, what's up, dude? I haven't been listening to the whole show, so I didn't know if you were able to ask him yet about the ding dong ditch. What's the, like, statute on that, or is it a crime or civil? Or Yeah. If ding dong ditching is a crime Well, you've seen that recently, obviously, in the news where the guy chased the kid down and give him a beating.

Yeah. We we talked about it yesterday in the program. I love a good ding dong ditch story. Why is this becoming such a thing? Because these stories pop up, like, every two weeks.

I I can't imagine the one where the Walmart delivery person's bringing stuff and you go crazy. Right? Yeah. Yeah. There's tons of these.

What do you mean you're bringing groceries to my house? You bring me the stuff I order? Are you cringing? Pull a gun out on somebody. People are wild.

People are yeah. I mean, ding dong ditching is not a crime. Right? Well, so it depends. If the property's marked no trespassing and you go up, now we got a problem.

Right? Go up and ring the doorbell and run. Now you're just being annoying. I I like I said, I'm always happy when it happens to me because I don't have to deal with somebody at the door. You think I actually got a friend.

Yeah. Like, great. Nobody's here. I can go back to watching TV. I don't have to try to say no.

I don't need a security system. Don't tell me that you're not like, what? You make me get off the couch. You probably don't have a lot of that problem out where you live because where are they gonna run? Be the most hilarious ding dong dish ever.

They're gonna be awful tired before they it's where they're going. So yeah. I don't recommend that kids do it. Not with the Not in today's day and age. No.

The others have been way too many, guns pulled on children and people trying to run them over with cars. It's crazy. You always want a response. Right? And a lot of times, kids are looking for that response.

And we had a couple of those people in our area that was that way, and so we knew it. We went toilet papered. We were in junior high, and we went toilet papered this grumpy old guy one time. And, next thing you know, we're laying in his irrigation ditch in the water staying low because and he knew what he was doing too. He laughed about this later as I got older.

He come out with his shotgun. He rattled some rounds up in the air just to let us know he cared. And, yeah, it got our attention. But, yeah, we were looking for a response, and we darn sure got one. Then the second question, I was wondering if, lieutenant, if you'd have you ever done a desk pop?

A desk pop? Desk pop. Desk pop. Oh, no. No.

Thank goodness. No? Okay. That was good. What is that, or is it even appropriate to accidental discharge of your firearm.

Oh. No. Yeah. That's not the other guys. Yeah.

No. No. We did Watch that movie. Yeah. We did have, a situation, and it happens.

Right? So that's why it's always important to treat all guns as if they're loaded no matter what. We, come back from the gun range. Everybody should have been empty in the gun barn. We have a place we call the gun barn.

Everybody goes and cleans their weapons. This was several years ago, and and a guy was cleaning his weapon. Should have been no ammo in that particular area, and all of a sudden, a round went off with three or four people in there. And, boy, did it ring their ears. Lovely amount down through the desk and into the floor, never hurt anybody.

But, man, a great opportunity to drive home. Always treat every weapon as if it's loaded. Yep. Alright. Well, thanks, gentlemen.

You guys have a good weekend. Hey. You too, man. Appreciate the call. Yep.

Peace. K, Bear. You're live on Traffic School powered by the advocates. Who's this? This is Rivonda.

Oh. Rivonda. You got people riled up last week. Are you behaving yourself, Rivonda? No more drinking and driving.

What day did you get bonded out? No. That's what I'm doing right now, actually. So I was like, I'm driving down the road drinking a beer right now. I have a bunch of eggs in my car, and I was wondering if it's legal to, like, throw eggs at other cars while you're driving down the road.

Only if they're not using their turn signal. But one thing you wanna keep in mind is eggs are more valuable right now than gold. I don't know. I I don't know. I I mean, like, if someone makes me mad, like and I just wanna throw an egg at them.

Is that okay? Are you a good enough thrower? You only hit glass, or would you also hit the paint? Probably the paint. Yeah.

Now we got some problems. Oh. Yeah. What kind of charge would that be? Like, vandalism?

Vandalism. Yep. Yeah. Vandalism. Vandalism?

Yeah. So Yeah. That's Do you have a couple of misdemeanors? The open container, the DUI could be And I'm driving down the road and talking on the phone after drinking beer. That's a new fraction.

That's both hands full, held in one hand, beer in the other. Driving with my kneecap. Driving with my kneecap. So, yeah, we got depending on how many DUIs you've had in the past, that could be a felony. Couple of misdemeanors there as far as, vandalism and and, open container and then the, infraction of following to close as if we talked about that earlier today.

Well, now I know. Okay. K, Ravonna. You stay out of trouble. Alright?

K. Bye. Or stay in so we can continue getting these calls every week. Okay. Have a good day, guys.

Bye. You too. See you. What do we want? Do we want her in trouble or out of trouble?

I know we need the calls. Yeah. So maybe Updates. That's right. Yeah.

Keep belling yourself out. K. Mayer, you're live on Traffic School powered by the Advocates. Who's this? This is Adam again.

Adam, what's up? I I just wanna say if Rivonda is still listening, in order to be good at trolling, it's gotta be believable. I mean, who doesn't enjoy who doesn't enjoy Chuck your handbags? Okay. So I mean, because, like, maybe someone could be so oblivious about drinking, but Chuck and eggs, come on.

Well, thanks. I think maybe she just wants to to meet lieutenant Crane and doesn't realize that lieutenant Crane's married. I don't know. Yeah. Maybe.

Maybe. You know? Yeah. Hey. Maybe the Chuckers are looking for a left handed thrower because We got we gotta bring Revan out to do the first pitch in a Chuckers game.

And then they egg. And then she switch it out with an egg, see if the catcher could catch him without breaking it. And then you escort her off of the pitch in handcuffs. Ravonda reminds me, this is a fun story. Years ago, I just moved back that old falls.

I rest this guy. He is on the fight. He's kicking my doors. He's banging his head on the glass, everything. And I pull up to the, jail.

And at that point, they didn't have a salad point or a salad port, and the main jailer comes out. And, he sees this guy throwing a fit, and he recognizes him without hesitation, calls him by name. And then the guy just starts to sob and say, officer so and so, is that you? I'm so sorry. And I'm like, where were you an hour ago when I was trying to get him in the car?

So, yeah, he'd been to the jail so many times. They they had a really good relationship. It was probably his AA sponsor. And what was cool about that, the jailer was amazing, gets him out of the car, gives him a side hug, said, come on, man. It's all gonna be okay.

Let's let's go do what we need to do. And it was it was neat to see, but the guy had obviously been there a lot. Oh, so wholesome. Well, it's nice when it has a happy ending. Yeah.

Yeah. And and then you heard, good night, Jim Bob. That's right. From the gym. Going.

Well, thanks, Adam. Hope you have a good one, man. Yeah. You too. Have a good one.

K Bear, you're live on traffic school. Who's this? This is Tabitha. Tabitha. What's up?

Oh, yeah. Tabitha called the other day. Did you email me that stuff? I did. Okay.

Hang on here. Now when you called me yesterday, cause I'm so forgetful, you know, what were you gonna show us today aside from your grandma? No. That was my mom and my brother is like, don't do it. And I was like, alright, fine.

I won't. So I didn't send the pictures in, but I did send them the videos from, that I 15 crash. Oh, yeah. Was it your video that got posted on East Idaho news? Yes.

And that's when I sent you because my boss was in a meeting yesterday all day. Okay. Did you see that video of, like, what what type of vehicle was that? I I saw this on East Idaho News earlier. It looked like a pretty bad wreck.

I'm I'm glad you weren't hurt following behind that vehicle. Well, No. I wasn't. There was there was a there was a truck, a little pickup behind me, and then there his supervisor was behind the little truck, and the truck that hit the bridge, they both hit the bridge. It's this video of a backhoe flipping over.

I don't I was Oh, you heard about this. But Oh, man. That's scary. Holy cow. Wow.

You can see the dash cam. I was like Oh, wow. You just barely missed anything. Yeah. I don't know if you can say s h I t, but that's I I don't think we can even spell it on there.

So I dumped out on you. The dashcam video shows me go, oh, s h I t. Will you stop spelling that word on air, Tabitha, please? I keep having it I'm out of dump now, so no more. Hey.

Hey, Tabitha. Hey. I'm sorry. Do you have the driver's name by chance? Because I'm looking to upgrade my backhoe.

Well, I'm I hope that, nobody was hurt in that accident because it was pretty crazy. Nobody was hurt, and it's crazy because I've never even been in a fender bender. Oh, man. Perfect person. Me either.

Never never had the accident. Never. I I yeah. I've never been in an accident. So She rides a Uber.

Well, yeah, that's a that's a pretty wild video. I hope that you get some royalties from YouTube on that one because I bet it's getting some views. Oh, is it? I didn't even know. Cause see, I don't really, my kids are with YouTubers and I don't ever watch YouTube.

Oh, yeah. You should post that to YouTube. You'll get some views, but yeah. Thanks for sending us a video. I still wanna see the picture of your grandma strapped down in the back of my pickup truck in the wheelchair.

I have we have me and my daughter have made an AI video of, my mom in a wheelchair cruising down the highway with her arms stretched out. Please send us that. Please. We will. But I will definitely submit to the email.

Alright. Sounds good, Tabitha. Thanks. Alright. You're good.

Bye. Hey, Hey. Before you oh oh, great. I'm sorry. No.

Hey. Before you go to the next call, I got my answer on the tenth. Let's get that out there. Okay. So federal law says that 70% has to be the, front, but then you have to go by the state which you're in, and that's 20 on the side.

And then or, actually, on federal, it has to be 70 on the driver's side window too. But on the back, it has to be 35. So Okay. So you can't have some tint. There's just some rules and regulations to that.

Well, I hope the guy was still listening. Alright. I guess we got time for another. Alright. We gotta make it quick.

Who's this? Oh, that's quick. Alright. We'll we'll give this other caller a chance. K Bear, you gotta make it quick.

Who's this? Dusty. Dusty, what's up, man? So my question is, since we're in grain season and a lot of grain trucks are losing grain all over the road, who's responsible for that if I get in a wreck on a motorcycle? Oh.

Because that's not a secured load. We talked about this last week. Secured load. The problem you'd have is that's when the advocates would come into effect. Absolutely.

Cops do the investigation. You call the advocates at (208) 471-4444. And they'll get you they'll get it taken care of, man. I like the head, Bob, why you said that. If you were into it, man.

Jeez. So, yeah, if you come across a big pile and we know where it came from, we would have to investigate that to to show why. But the question would become is if we could prove where that grain come from. So you need a dash cam on your motorcycle. But you always need to be driving reasonable and prudent no matter what the conditions do.

So, I mean, would the city be reliable for getting a street sweeper out to clean that up? I don't know how many grain fields are being harvested in the city limits. Well, I'm just saying I live in Blackfoot, and there's grain all over the road. Oh, they're bringing it in? Yeah.

I think one thing that would be extremely important just to avoid any problems is to use extreme caution. And if you know that there's an area like that to stay out of the area during that time, With that being said, the street department probably does have a sweeper to come. If you're concerned, you could contact them and ask them to sweep it. The other thing would be, if we seen those guys coming in, they're losing their loads like that. They could be cited for failure to have their load secured.

K. Yeah. Because I actually, had an issue where a city truck was getting a gravel out of the, a pit, and they lost a bunch all over the road. And I told the city cops to tell the city to get a street sweeper over there, and they never did. Oh, boy.

Hopefully, that was not a corner. Yeah. Definitely. And I I guess that's when you could call the city directly. Yeah.

You know? Yep. Let them know. Call the city and We have, but it seems like, you know, our tax money doesn't go where it needs to go. Alright.

Can you believe it? I agree. You got Victor on your side now, buddy. Get me started on the go. Yeah.

Take him down. Well, thanks, Dusty, and I hope you have a a good weekend. Be safe. Alright. You too.

Alright. Peace, man. Bye bye. Alright. That that ended up being a long show.

Like, looking at the clock going, we gotta stop. We gotta stop this. Stop this madness. Out of control train. So, yeah, next week, I'll be out.

I guess you get to hang out with Peaches. Gonna call and tell me good night. Oh, just wait. Just wait. It's coming one of these nights one of these nights.
