Traffic School - 680 Pounds Of Beer Cans Somehow Made $20 - 09/04/2026
You
Speaker 1: remember when that one came out, right?
Speaker 2: Just remember standing in line at Kmart waiting to get.
Speaker 1: How's Lieutenant Crane doing today?
Speaker 2: I'm doing great. Do you even remember when they had Kmart?
Speaker 1: Uh I do. I do. We had one in uh Poky. They had a little Caesars in it. You could get pizza and whatever other crap you needed. I think now it's uh
Speaker 2: Maybe that's why they aren't there anymore.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's a U-Haul place now or something like that. Well, it's right, you you know where it is, right across from your buddies, the FBI in Pocatello.
Speaker 2: But little Caesar survived.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yep. Still got the I well, I don't know what they're charging for a hot and ready. You know, everything else has gone up. I'm sure they ain't got five dollar hot and ready no more.
Speaker 2: Oh, I think it's like $7.99 now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, bunch of bull crap. Two whole dollars. Yeah, those five dollar pizzas, that was a good deal. That was a good deal for a struggling family. Come on, little Caesars, get it together. Times are tough. Yeah, well, it's a good weekend for you know, uh spending money on gas and getting out of town. Don't you drive a diesel?
Speaker 2: I do. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Yikes!
Speaker 2: Yeah, highest prices ever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I uh when we came back from Utah, I think it was like three weeks ago. I commented that I saw some six dollar diesel somewhere. I was like, that's crazy. And then I went by random gas station in town here yesterday, and it was like 579. Yeah, yikes.
Speaker 2: So a few weeks weeks ago when I was in Tahoe, remember I called you from Tahoe. Yeah. Yeah. It was over eight bucks there, almost nine for a gallon of diesel in Tahoe.
Speaker 1: That is just nuts. So yeah, that's uh I'm staying home this weekend. I'm gonna coop up in my house. I ain't spending a dollar on gas.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, I'm gonna make some extra money. I'm gonna go buy a six-pack of beer, drink it, crush it, and turn in the aluminum. Make me some money.
Speaker 1: Aluminum price has gone up. That's what I'm saying. Considerably. I went to buy a roll of Reynolds wrap like recently. This was about a month ago, too, so I don't even want to know what it's like now. But for name brand Reynolds wrap at Winco, they had a roll for $13. Wow. I'm like, this is an aluminum foil. So you used to just make a hat out of and you know, talk conspiracy theories.
Speaker 2: How we're supposed to smoke our mouth. Oh, jeez.
Speaker 1: Oh man. Yep. Nope, not gonna have any beer this weekend.
Speaker 2: That's my goal. I can't crush my prescription drugs.
Speaker 1: No, I was telling you off air. Gonna try to get back on the wagon this weekend.
Speaker 2: And I thought about that a little bit, and I think I can help.
Speaker 1: Well, all right, what's your plan? Because my plan is just hide in my house.
Speaker 2: That's a great plan. Don't go anywhere. Might be a little better. I might move you in with me.
Speaker 1: Oh no. Move in with the cops.
Speaker 2: How long do you think that'd take to get you sober? Oh, man. Think we'd be more than six months to a year.
Speaker 1: Oh, I just want three days. Get out of there as fast as possible. All right, it's out of my system. I'm fine, please. I promise I'm good. I mean, I think out where you live, it's like dry county, too. So there's nowhere you can even find booze.
Speaker 2: No, when I when I worked up there, there was five active bars at the time. Really? Yeah. I think we still have one. At least two.
Speaker 1: I I've never been to a pub in that area. So, yeah.
Speaker 2: Hey, they they're there's three. Yeah, there's three now, but uh, they're really nice, and they've got them fixed up pretty nice. Right on. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm not coming. Not this weekend. Figure, you know, if you're gonna try to stay off of booze, you don't go to the bar.
Speaker 2: Listeners, call in. Let's uh have you call in and help promote Victor and coming to my house to help him out with his addictions.
Speaker 1: Jeez. Just sitting there. You want to watch a movie? No, I've got work to do. We're gonna go out. We're gonna work. We're gonna go work on the neighbor's house, and then I'm gonna go build a house. And then we both you've always got too many plans. I'm I'm just gonna sit in my bed, watch movies, hang out with the cats, dream of drinking beer.
Give Myself a nice uh uh mountain dew. There you go. There we go. There you go.
Do the do well listeners, Lieutenant Crane is here, which means it is time for traffic school powered by the advocates. Uh we got about a two minute break, and then we'll be back. We want you to call us.
You know, we I know it's a holiday weekend, and many of you may be off of work, getting ready to head out of town. Well, delay leaving so you can call in and take part in the show. You'll still find a camping spot.
Speaker 2: Stop by Victor's, grab his aluminum can so you can afford your fuel.
Speaker 1: You know, yeah. I I really should have saved all these cans.
Speaker 2: I told you my experience when I bought a place and they had beer cans everywhere, right? So I gather them all up and I think I'm gonna make a fortune. Had 680 pounds of beer cans, right? That's a lot.
That's a few. Uh the guy was not happy that I showed up, made me unload myself across the scales and everything else. I don't know if he got the numbers right, but when I left, I got like $20.18.
Speaker 1: That doesn't sound worth worth the work.
Speaker 2: I didn't even pay for my fuel.
Speaker 1: Well, with the price of aluminum now, though. I uh do you get more for turning in cans? I don't know, because I'm a terrible human done and I don't recycle.
I'm a bad hippie. But uh yeah, all get ready to call us for traffic school powered by the advocates, and we'll roll into the holiday weekend with uh some insight to keep you safe on the roads. You know, don't be an idiot out there.
There's a lot of people traveling. You know, and by the way, you know, be wary when you're camping. I heard that the the cops were out camping.
No way. Yeah, heard they uh should I tell them where? Where to avoid camping? If you're planning on getting wild, avoid this one particular area if you're gonna go camping. It might be an officer with a camper part there out of uniform. You sneaky guys.
Speaker 3: 2085351015 is the number to call for traffic school. Lieutenant Crane hanging out in studio, and I think I had a few questions pop up on Facebook and right out of the gate. Listeners trolling on a holiday weekend, wanting to talk about how do you use a roundabout properly. Thanks a lot, Bryce. Thanks a lot. And uh, we've discussed this many times.
Speaker 2: And I've asked you to do a video with me many times.
Speaker 1: It just seems so unnecessary because the video's gonna be five seconds long. You pull up, you look to the left, and if it's clear, you go.
Speaker 2: But I want to have you in the car while I'm going left hard, and you're like, ah!
Speaker 1: And I got your cheek pinned to the passenger window. Just turn it left with the throttle down.
Speaker 1: That sounds like it'd be pretty fun. And there's a new roundabout we could try it out at. Have you seen that new one on South Boulevard? No, I have not. You haven't? No. Oh, dang it.
Speaker 2: Is that at the common sense? That's been there a while.
Speaker 1: That one's been there. Okay. So if you go further uh north. Oh, okay. They like they've been working on that road for a few months. Uh, I know this because it was the quickest route to get to where Ravonda works from you know, when I get off work. So I was annoyed. You had to get there.
I had to you know take these roundabout ways with with well, now I guess there's a roundabout I can take. But I just don't know why they put it in. That's why I wanted to ask you. They, you know, been working on this road forever, and I've driven down this road a lot of times because I would pick up uh, you know, Ravonda's daughter from school. Sounds like a soap opera. Yeah, and there was once you get past the roundabout at common sense, it's it like calms down. There's there's nobody out there, there's nothing there. And they put in this new, and it's like an advanced roundabout. Probably planning for the future.
Speaker 2: Oh, maybe that's because they do traffic studies, right? They don't just decide, hey, we're gonna spend a million bucks. They do traffic studies and find out what's gonna work best. They could call me.
Speaker 1: I could tell you uh I can tell you about um irritating areas to travel through Idaho Falls that a lot of people tend to uh use. Your response would be tell people to stay home.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, like how about all of homes? Could we uh just go ahead and knock down everything on the sides of the road and expand that road a bit since people can't take a different route? Okay, sorry, call her your live on traffic school, powered by the advocates. Who's this?
Speaker 3: Good morning. Hey, I have a question. Thank you.
Speaker 2: Can't wait for the quick ranting.
Speaker 3: Sorry, I have this employee. I believe her name is Rhonda. But she's always playing up to work and like beer cans, just humble out of her car. Get out of the fucking car every fucking day.
Speaker 1: Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! Hey, hey, hey, hey, you can't use that kind of language on the show. I just ran out of the dump button. So dude, no more, no more.
Speaker 3: No more swearing.
Speaker 1: Boy, you should sound like you need to take that frustration out on Ravanda. Victor.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like four locals, old English. It's always just popping out of her car every time she rolls up to work.
Speaker 2: Hold on just a second. We got 911 edit here for Victor. He just had a heart attack.
Speaker 1: Just about did. I hope the dump button works.
Speaker 2: He's hitting the dump button with his one hand and the other hand is just over his heart.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I'm working on my blood pressure. So if you can help me. him. Now my boss will she's like, she's like, you can't do this anymore, Becca. Oh gosh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you behave on the phone too.
Speaker 2: Hey, Ravon, I feel like where you work is like a family atmosphere. Bring the family.
Speaker 3: It is a family atmosphere. All Oh, all right.
Speaker 1: Well, you're without children.
Speaker 1: That's about gave me uh a heart attack, so thank you.
Speaker 3: Um not without children. Also, my daughter was actually here with me this morning.
Speaker 1: She's got a great chance in life. Hey!
Speaker 3: She's a good she's a good kid. She is a good kid. She is awesome. So, anyways, try not too. Okay, try not to.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what that means later. That's again inappropriate for the program. All right. I hope I want that dump button to light back up. I don't like it when it's dark like that.
Speaker 2: People are like the radios went silent for like three minutes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so uh caller, whoever you are. You watch your language behave. Who's this?
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know. You got Tractor Jeremy, and I think uh crazy Carl's right over here in the background, too. I think he's working on the channel. If you want to come back to the phone, please.
Speaker 1: Yes, uh Tractor Jeremy and Crazy Carl. Tractor Jeremy sent me a picture. He wanted me to show you of his tractor being pulled over by Bingham County's finest.
Speaker 3: Bingham County Police Department. There you go. For uh obstructing traffic or what? No, we were actually doing a freight for this kid's one-year hard adversary. Oh, just trying to pry Saturday. So this will stage between me and the Bingham County officers.
Speaker 2: Ah, very good. See, there are some good officers out there. Just a few. Man, they're good.
Speaker 3: Hey, you guys, I I want to apologize about that.
Speaker 1: Rexburg thing. And now Crazy Carl.
Speaker 3: That uh that rice furry king, I want to apologize about that. My meds hadn't kicked in yet.
Speaker 1: His meds hadn't kicked in yet. Apologize.
Speaker 2: I didn't understand what he's talking about.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what were you apologizing for, Carl?
Speaker 3: The Rexburg thing last week. You guys heard about that?
Speaker 2: Oh, you know what, Carl? I gotta be honest with you. Once we hang up with you, I'm done with your conversation. I don't Like, I don't remember. Nothing against you, Carl. I just don't, nothing sinks in. No.
Speaker 3: So I uh served up some funds. Uh we're gonna come up and visit you guys in a few weeks. You're gonna come. to come visit us. If it's possible, come see you in the station.
Speaker 1: We could probably we could probably work that out. Bring a gift card. That's right. We better bring prizes.
Speaker 3: Well, we we even have one for Peaches.
Speaker 1: A prize for Peaches. Wow. All right.
Speaker 2: What date are you thinking? One for each of you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're all over on the other side of the shop right now. He got law.
Speaker 1: These guys just keep passing the phone back and forth. What date are you guys thinking?
Speaker 3: Um I don't know when I'm gonna get the uh shirts yet, but
Speaker 2: oh, I think I know what it might be.
Speaker 3: But it'll be sometime this month in September. Right.
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna be out of the area. Um, I'll I'll check the date.
Speaker 1: But yeah, you guys stay in touch with me, and uh I'll let you know. You know, when Lieutenant Crane is and isn't going to be here um here. I won't be here on the 18th. Okay.
Speaker 3: Oh, we could probably shoot for that. When I'm not here when he's up here, okay. Make sure you got that red button ready. Kidding, kidding.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've pushed it enough this morning.
Speaker 2: Make it any day but the 18th, Carl. 18th. The 18th, I'm gone.
Speaker 3: Oh, he's gone. So the rest of the month is clear for all of us. Please leave your handcuffs at home. I don't want to see Carl go to jail.
Speaker 1: All right, you guys just keep me posted, okay? All right, all right. Looking forward to it.
Speaker 3: You have any questions for him, Carl? I'm drawing blanks. Nope. All right. Well, that that doesn't say much. I'm drawing blanks every day.
Speaker 1: Same here.
Speaker 3: Do a quick plug for the uh memorial building. Better than car show tomorrow. The hundredth anniversary of the building itself, and we're trying to get a hundred cars there.
Speaker 1: Uh okay, and when's this going down? Tomorrow. Tomorrow at the memorial building. Here in Pocello, Iowa. Poke Tello, trying to get a hundred cars out. What time? What time?
Speaker 3: Uh starts at 11, 11 to 3, I believe. Right outside the War Memorial.
Speaker 2: Hey, don't hire any more people. We can't handle the phone being passed around anymore.
Speaker 3: We'll line up the whole car clubbing, Matt. We'll take up the whole traffic school one of these days.
Speaker 1: Oh you would. But the thing is, there's a secret. I have the control. Look at that. Look at that. Threaten to take control of the show. They don't know you. Yeah, they don't know. I can just hang right up on them.
You want to make a threat like that? I haven't hung up on anybody for a while, so that was fun. Just playing uh tractor Jeremy and Crazy Carl. All right. Uh I'm sure they're gonna call back. Uh let's see here. What do I got for my online quest? I do have a question for you.
Speaker 4: When you're laying in bed watching Star Wars and drinking beer, do
Speaker 2: you have three different kinds of beer out like you do on the counter every time I come in here on Friday?
Speaker 1: Um, there's usually at least uh three cans piled up. Hence why, yeah, gotta get that start going on today.
Speaker 2: When do you have time to watch movies? You should be in the urinal the whole time.
Speaker 1: I guess I'm a pro. I've got a Big bladder. And the bathroom's really close to my room.
Speaker 2: You can't even go to the bathroom with socks on because it'd push you back to the sink.
Speaker 1: That's right. Oh, let's see here. Dude, I swear the listeners with these roundabout questions. Um, when in a roundabout do you have to use a turn signal?
Speaker 2: Anytime you can. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's always best to let people know what you're gonna do because other people might be dumb. Yeah, and uh, you know, not paying attention. Reckless, aggressive behind the wheel.
Speaker 2: State law says anytime you're gonna change lanes, you gotta now are you officially changing lanes is the question, right? But if you go past the first option, because a lot of those give you one option, two option, three option. So yeah, it's just common courtesy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you should see how many options that new roundabout on South Boulevard gives you. I'm telling you. Um you gotta go drive down it and just look at it and go.
Speaker 2: Folks, we'll be back in five.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what what are they building out there? What are they building in there? They gotta be up to something, like you said. Um, Let's see.
Speaker 2: You know, when we're going into the last major weekend right now, the best thing before you leave today, check the air pressure in your tires, check your tire tread, make sure that's all good. Check your antifreeze levels, check your oil levels, check your car over, do an overall check, and then the best thing you can do, put that phone down until you get where you're going.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, if you go over to Grease Monkey, you can eat cookies while they while they check your vehicle out. They'll do that. They're fresh baked cookies, you just sit there and eat them. It's great. They even have a timer that shows you like your vehicle's gonna be done in this many minutes, and it's pretty fast. Shout out to Grease Monkey.
Speaker 4: Too fast because you don't get enough cookies.
Speaker 1: I know. I was only able to eat 10.
Speaker 4: You're like, I thought my old changes would be gonna be 69, 95. Why is it 80? Well, you ain't more than a dozen cookies, sir.
Speaker 1: Let's see. Uh Jesse wants to know is it illegal to bumper push someone who won't go at a green light? Not if no one's looking.
Speaker 2: But obviously, if the cops get called, that's gonna be following too close, right? Yeah, and you're gonna be responsible for damage on both vehicles.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you can damage a vehicle doing that. I learned that when my daughter's car died on Woodroof. Uh, we pushed it off of Woodruff into a parking lot, but the parking lot was slanted, so we couldn't, you know, we didn't have the strength to push it into the parking spot. So I'm like, well, I'll just use my truck. Yeah, damn it. The rear end of her vehicle didn't look very good after that. Learning.
Speaker 2: Now I can tell you, I told you about where I used to work. We had active bars while I grew up there too, so I took driver's ed there. And I can also tell you how to clear out a bar in a hurry. Uh you show up.
Yep. In the uniform. This is before I was an officer, but that is another good way to clear a bar. You show up in the uniform, everybody goes to the one next door. Uh but my driver's ed teacher explained to us that the reason they put bumpers on cars is so that when you parallel park, you can actually bump the car ahead of you and behind you, so you don't really need to worry about the distance. Just when you feel the little bump, no, you gotta pull forward or go backward. Well, we're a bunch of teenage boys, so we took that to heart.
Speaker 1: That's back when bumpers were made
Speaker 4: out of metal and had rubber guards on them out on the outside. So yeah, we're doing that. And boy, if we didn't clear the bar out, and they were gonna throttle on drivers and teach. I'll bet.
Speaker 1: You hit my car again. Yeah, I'd never heard heard that instruction from a uh driver's instructor.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it never, yeah, it's not correct. The information is not true.
Speaker 1: All right. 208-535-1015 if you want to join the show live. Uh let's see here. Min wants to know. Uh explain why freeway on ramps are so long. Just to tick you off.
Speaker 2: Well, there's a purpose behind that, and I wish people would use that purpose. I agree.
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, I get so frustrated. So when I'm in my private vehicle, or if you're in a black and white, then nobody can drive properly, right? They want you to, hey, you go, you go.
Speaker 1: I know, everybody's being all slow. It's like pick up the pace. All right, you can do the speed limit around the cops.
Speaker 4: Don't you dare go one mile an hour over.
Speaker 1: Nope, nope.
Speaker 4: You better have your hands at 10 and 2, boy.
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Yeah, I had one following me the other day that I was pretty sure he was just waiting for me to make a mistake. I'm like, dude, I'm trying to go home.
Speaker 4: You should have swerved at him, just said, and then when he walked up, you said, Hey, I just done that to get this over with.
Speaker 1: I know what you were doing. Here's my stuff. Here's my insurance. What do you want? What do you want from me? Can't you tell I'm busy?
Speaker 2: Okay, so on ramps and off ramps. Why are they so long? One, the off ramp is to decrease uh decrease your speed, give you time to do that. But the most important is the on ramp is designed so you can get up to speed and enter traffic without uh bothering the flow of traffic. So it's your responsibility to merge without disrupting the flow.
So I want to remind people you have an accelerator and a brake pedal when you're coming onto the highway or interstate, and you can use either one of them to get in safely.
Speaker 1: There you go. All right, people. K-Bear, you were live on traffic school, powered by the advocates. Who's this? This is Virgo. Birto, what's up?
Speaker 3: Hey, so I got a question about all the scooters and all that stuff that are driving on the road. All the what? Driving on the road. Like the just the electric scooter, like, yeah, yeah, the scooters that can either be stepped on or you add a seat to. And they're like literally driving in traffic and they got no lights or anything on them. Are they even allowed to be in traffic?
Speaker 2: I think you're talking about electric uh powered uh Yeah,
Speaker 1: is that electric scooters driving around in traffic?
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's really hard. So let's just attack it this way. Uh if you're riding a pedal bike, not even electric, you need to have a reflector on the back, a reflector on the front, you need to use hand signals, you need to follow all traffic laws if you're gonna ride it out on the road. When it comes to the electric vehicles that do not have pedal assist, if you're doing that, they have to be insured. You have to have a driver's license, and you have to obey all rules of the road and still have a brake light on the back, a headlight on the front, and use your arms as turn signals.
Speaker 1: I don't think they should be trying to use your arms as turn signals on an electric scooter.
Speaker 2: I've heard rumors that it could break your collarbone.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're gonna fucking say. Oh seen a lot of it. Um what about if uh say you got a typical bike and they are gifting traffic and or excuse me, not different traffic, they're hugging the sidewalk, which they could be riding on a sidewalk. And they're just making traffic slow down. Is that, Are they in the wrong on doing that?
Speaker 4: Well, so all cities have pretty much
Speaker 2: adopted rules and regulations on e-bikes right now. And boy, it's complicated because the different power sources, pedal assist, not pedal assist, and different things. So there are guidelines and they're not uh allowed on the sidewalks most of the time, and they're supposed to uh flow in traffic like a vehicle, but if they're being disruptive, it's a problem. Gotcha.
And if you're uh if you have kids and you've bought them to send them to school on, and they tell you, oh mom, dad, I mind my manners when I'm not in your vision, they're lying to you because that's what I did to my dad.
Speaker 3: Absolutely. All right. There's just a lot of fine stuff to live through on that, I guess.
Speaker 2: My uh my old man, we had uh I had a little KX80 dirt bike that's very loud exhaust, right? And I'm not very smart. So he'd be like, You better mind your manners when you're riding that to work, and you better not hot rot. And I think, oh, no problem. So I'd drive up the road about a mile, and then I'd have to take a left. And I think, oh, once I'm on this other road, I'm free and clear. I didn't realize how far sound travels across the country.
Speaker 1: He just hears you kick it into gear. And don't think your neighbors won't rat you out. Yeah. Yeah, they will. They will.
Speaker 3: Absolutely. It just takes a phone call and uh You won't know who did it.
Speaker 1: Well, appreciate the call today, man. And I hope you have a really good weekend. You too. Thank you. Hey, thanks, man. Invest in a new cell phone. Yeah. Yes. A little muffled. All right.
Let's see here. 208-535-1015 is the number to call if you want to join us live on traffic school, which is preferable. Call us up. Uh and don't use any naughty language like Ravanda and Friends.
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Speaking of cell phones, tell me if this is rude. You know I used to carry just a flip phone, right? And then one of my buddies got upset because I couldn't accept emojis and couldn't hear. I couldn't understand what the conversation was.
So he sends me to my home an iPhone. Yes. Well, now one of our buddies in that same group. We had to start a group chat on another project that we're all in on. And he sends me a text saying, would you please get on this group chat with the phone that our other buddy bought for you?
Speaker 1: You're still using the flip phone too. No, no, but he was just rubbing it in. Ah, okay. Yeah. Gotcha.
Speaker 2: I'm like, hey, you watch your mouth.
Speaker 1: Well, at least you got with the times eventually, even if not by choice.
Speaker 4: I always had one for work. I didn't need one otherwise.
Speaker 1: Let's see here. Since you people ain't calling us, come on, it's a holiday weekend. Let's party. Yeah. We're having fun. Whoa. The fair's kicking off today. Come on, people. Celebrate traffic school.
Speaker 4: Last holiday of the year, and Victor's going dry.
Speaker 1: I know. Labor Day weekend, what are you gonna do? Silver up.
Speaker 4: Maybe you should wait till Sunday at midnight and then clean up your act. Um, have one last hoorah.
Speaker 1: I don't know, because then I think Tuesday is not gonna be a very fun day at work.
Speaker 4: I said Sunday. I know midnight.
Speaker 1: But you you gotta have a few days, you know, because day three is like the worst one, you know. So Sundays when I'm gonna be sitting around real grouchy. So yeah, I I think I'll avoid uh coming in here and leave me alone, PJ! I don't even want to see your face.
Nobody's allowed in this studio. All right, let's see. Alia wants to know why people won't go the speed limit anymore. I live off 17th and drive it almost daily, and no one goes the speed limit anymore.
Speaker 4: This is pretty simple. Her name's Allie.
Speaker 1: Uh Alia. Alia. I I'm sorry if I said your name wrong.
Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, we're gonna go with Alia. Oh, yeah, it's pretty simple. They're not going to speed limits because it's bumper to bumper with red lights all the way through it.
Speaker 1: Yes, because they don't know how to set these traffic lights up so that you can just drive down the road without hitting every red light.
Speaker 4: We have a bigger population, and it's hard to move that much traffic.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I had to change my lunch schedule. Oh no, yeah, because now you got all these kids in school. I went to, you know, go pick up some food the other day. Again with homes. Oh, no wonder you're getting so skinny. I can't buy food. I can't do can't eat anymore.
Speaker 4: You don't, you don't need Ozimpic.
Speaker 1: You've only got like an hour for lunch. You can't go anywhere. I walked into a gas station, like I'll buy a sandwich. The place was packed to the brim. I just turned around, walked back out. I was like, nope, not gonna stand in here with all these little little heathens.
Speaker 4: We're not eat lunch, we have a gas station.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was willing to sacrifice. And all right, I'm gonna have a crappy gas station sandwich, because you know, they're never good, but no, no, I just went without. But they got cold beer.
Wasn't even gonna pick that up. That's a good way to keep yourself from drinking too. Schedule your day so when you go to the store, it's lunchtime during the school. day. A lot of kids are there. And then you're gonna be like, nope, I'm not buying anything.
Speaker 2: And what a way to make money, because then all the kids will hit you.
Speaker 1: Hey, dude, can you get me a 12 pack? Oh, jeez. Uh yeah, I I will tell you that when people aren't doing the speed limit at like 5 45 a.m. on sunny side. I my brain's about to explode.
Speaker 2: Back in the day, I always wanted to find that one guy that was driving the white Monte Carlo because he was the one that was buying beer for kids everywhere. Who'd you get this from?
Speaker 4: Some dude don't know his name. He's in a white Monte Carlo.
Speaker 1: Oh man. Uh people, we're getting close to last call. 208-535-1015. K-Bear, you're live on Traffic School, powered by the advocates. Who's this? What's up, boss?
Speaker 3: Love you guys love the show. Stuart. Stuart.
Speaker 1: What's happening, dude?
Speaker 3: Oh, uh, not much. I was just curious about the incident at the museum where the uh those words were poked out. Oh, that's basically vandalism. Is that technically considered a Uh vandalism and a hate crime. Okay. It was a Protecting class.
Speaker 1: All right. So I hadn't talked to Lieutenant Crane about this. I mentioned it earlier on the show. We went to the museum last night, Museum of Idaho. Oh, you're very artsy. Yeah, very classy. So were you in a tux? Absolutely.
You know. So as we were going through the museum, we got to this section where they, you know, have uh kind of controversial Idaho uh history topics. You know, I turned the corner, all of a sudden there's a big swastika. And I'm like, whoa!
What's going on here? And it was like a robe from uh, you know, the Aryan Nations compound, uh, you know, from Idaho Northern Idaho. Um, so you know, some interesting items in this little room, but then they had um uh a section that dealt with uh like gay rights and things like that. And there's a little sign, just you know how the museum is crap you can read all over the place, little plaques education, yeah. So somebody at this one particular one, there's there's just words in there, you know, uh words for that describe certain people.
Lifestyle. And they had uh just taken something and punched holes in it and scratched it all up. I I took pictures of it and complained about it on Facebook, was like only a loser would uh vandalize the museum. It's the museum. Uh one that would be vandalism, right? Or is absolutely okay. Now Stuart's asking, would that be a hate crime?
Speaker 2: They would have to be making some kind of threat towards somebody uh cause harm uh directly, not just the sign itself. If it was an individual, I could see it being a hate crime. Okay, but if they were putting it out to the, you know, where they're just destroying, I think right now they'd probably just go with vandalism.
Okay, boy, I tell you, sometimes you get breaks for doing dumb things, but on that one, I don't think the judge would be like, hey, I'm willing to give you a break.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was just you know, like totally childish. And uh I I was just like, who who walks into the museum and is like, uh a word? And they just start stabbing the sign. Like, what kind of psycho is this? You know, so I yeah, I called him a loser online. Could be one of our listeners. If so, loser. But you would assume the museums got cameras.
Speaker 2: Cameras. I would think they'd know exactly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I I tagged him. You know, who knows how long it's been that way, but uh yeah, I was just disappointed in somebody in our community.
Speaker 2: I'll laugh if it comes back at the interview you for it.
Speaker 1: I spent a lot of time at that sign type.
Speaker 2: We noticed you were taking pictures.
Speaker 1: But they did have a great book on display, uh, fairly close by that I I've got to find a copy of just because the title was so great. Idaho loaners. I think it would you know, probably talked about people like Dugout Dick, you know, who lived, you know, just freeloading off you know, public lands out in a cave, and then everybody celebrates him. I don't care what you people in Salmon say, he's a freeloader. All right, Stuart. Well, uh appreciate it.
Speaker 2: the call on that. Thanks for firing him up. For sure, no problem.
Speaker 1: Yep, have a good one, man. Peace. Vandalized the museum. Fired me up. And then we went to the toy store, and I got even madder.
Speaker 2: Boy, you live a life, don't you?
Speaker 1: I live a life of getting mad, apparently. I've I just thought it was rude.
Speaker 2: Okay, they're all that's a big little trikes.
Speaker 1: Okay, you know how you if you're impeding traffic, that's a crime. Yes. What if you just are taking forever to check out because you're letting your three little kids each individually pay for their excuse me, their toys, and they are they're little kids and they don't know how to count. They don't know how to math because they're uneducated.
Speaker 2: And so it's so they were like 16 years old.
Speaker 1: They were very small children, and it took I I bet 10 minutes for this one group to check out. Took me five seconds. You run the card and you leave. I was so angry.
Speaker 2: We do not want to teach our youth.
Speaker 1: School just started. That's where your kids learn to math.
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. Yeah, let's leave it all up to our teachers. We should.
Speaker 1: There's a time and place to teach your kids how to count. It's not in front of me in a line. So yeah, they impeded my uh day. Can I get him charged with the crime? They disturbed your piece. They did, but they really did.
Speaker 2: I don't know if that disturbed your piece or you disturbed everybody else's piece after you got the.
Speaker 1: I'm sure the vibes coming off. I mean, we're, you know, the rest of the line was feeding off of it. Uh K-Barry, you're live on the show. Who's this?
Speaker 3: Hi, my name is Dustin. I actually have a question for Lieutenant Green here. Hey, thank you. Commercial vehicles. Let's say you owned a semi-personally and way stations. Do you have to stop?
Speaker 2: If you're not in commerce and uh your farm, no. But what's your what are you doing with it?
Speaker 3: Like saying I'll in personal vehicles to shows, car shows.
Speaker 2: Oh, okay. So is there a chance that you could win something at this car show?
Speaker 3: If I decide to air enter, and I'm end for winning, yeah. Right.
Speaker 2: So if you pull up, they do give out awards and different things like that, right? Correct. Yeah, so it gets pretty technical. What I would suggest for you uh is to call my office and I'll set you up with a commercial vehicle specialist because there's some complicated rules with that.
If there's a chance that you could win a prize, even if you don't put in for it, you legally fall under the commercial vehicle standards. Okay. Yeah. So give me a call, and that's a long topic, but you would think if you're just hauling multiple cars to a car show and different things, you're gonna be okay, but let's check that out and make sure.
Speaker 1: And you can you can find Lieutenant Crane's office number on the internet. Yes. So call them and harass him, everybody. 525737.
Speaker 2: There you go. 525737. All right, appreciate it. Thank you.
Speaker 1: Hey, thanks, man. Have a good one. You too. K bear, you're live on Traffic School, powered by the advocates. Who's this?
Speaker 3: Hey, you guys are racking my brain. I found a question.
Speaker 1: Under the urnal.
Speaker 3: It doesn't, it doesn't hurt if you can't think.
Speaker 1: It doesn't hurt if you can't think.
Speaker 3: So uh way back in ninth grade, my uh Irving high uh junior high. Uh he taught us about this law that if you steal a car, if you okay, we're gonna rephrase this. If you come up on a car, it's running, the keys are in it. It is called an attractive nuisance, and that's what I call my wife.
Speaker 4: Uh because the keys are in it, she's a running.
Speaker 3: She's running now.
Speaker 4: She's turning on and running, baby. An attractive nuisance. Very nice.
Speaker 3: And and we had this discussion in the shop just the other day. About your wife.
Speaker 4: So I wouldn't discuss that.
Speaker 3: with other men. Yeah, no. Well, we have that discussion every day.
Speaker 4: So the other men were like, man, your wife's not.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 1: And he's like, but she's a nuisance. She's a new.
Speaker 4: Well, when she comes in here, my motor's running.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So instead of catching a grand theft auto charge, you can get a lesser charge of and it's called an attractive nuisance. Because the car was running. It was not your fault that they left the keys in there, and it's an attractive nuisance. I mean, uh, we had this guy with a Ferrari next to our uh uh the other my old job, the other shop.
He left it out there running for half an hour, and I'm looking at my cousin and my buddy, and I'm like, hey, it's running, the keys are in it. Uh, not our fault. Uh is that still an Idaho law? I mean, I would I would have Ferris Buellered that thing, but I have way too much respect for somebody else's car.
Speaker 2: Not only is that not an Idaho law now, I don't think it was then, and I think what they're called is joy riding.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, right. Because your wife walking along.
Speaker 3: I mean, if you bring it back. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, the key to that would be you didn't show up with the intention to steal it. You walked by and were tempted and took it. So now it's uh joy riding. Um, but just because somebody didn't do something doesn't give you a right to their property. Now I'll give you a perfect example of that. Well, my cousin who lived down in Las Vegas when she was 18, they went out to the dam, was boating and come back, and there was another boat that had lost a wheel on a trailer. So they felt pull in there, they had a tire for it. They threw the tire on there, put a for sale sign on it.
The guy that owned it came back, and here's this group of kids trying to sell his boat. So he calls the police. The police send another undercover cop out there. He buys the boat from these kids. She goes to jail.
Speaker 3: Are you kidding? That's great. Yeah, Erner French. Seriously.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't sell other people's stuff. No.
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, it kills me when people try to sell stuff on Facebook Marketplace. No title, Bill of Sale. Uh yeah, I'm not touching that. Yeah.
Speaker 1: That monkey. So what what what what kind of charge did they get? Uh for selling the boat.
Speaker 2: I I can't remember what they were charged with. But it was just funny because I remember just as a punk kid, I was pretty young when that happened. But uh yeah, my mom was pretty sad that her niece went to jail.
Speaker 1: Oh man.
Speaker 3: Oh man. So my my great great uncle uh back in the 1930s. Uh this guy says, hey, can you watch my gas station? He says, Yeah, sure. And it was uh up by uh oh it's uh middle Idaho, I can't remember McCall, something like that. Anyways, the uh he says, Yeah, sure, I'll wash your gas station. He goes back to West Virginia, comes back a month later, and there's some guy running his business, and he goes, Okay, where's you know, where's Fred? And he's like, Fred, no, he's the guy that sold me the gas station. He sold his gas station while he was on vacation, dude.
Speaker 1: Oh boy. Oh man.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, don't sell other people's property. Not a good idea.
Speaker 1: Well, Carl, good stories. Appreciate all the calls today. Sorry, I hung up on you guys. It was just in good fun.
Speaker 3: No, of course that was funny. That was fun.
Speaker 1: And uh yeah, have a safe holiday weekend, man.
Speaker 3: Oh man, hey, you two, man. Just hey, if you stay on the couch, you won't stub your toe.
Speaker 1: That's right. Dude, I ain't going anywhere. Nice.
Speaker 3: Right, son. You guys have a good weekend, man. We'll see ya. You two, man. Peace. All right, later.
Speaker 1: All right. Fine edition of the program today. Time to go enjoy the weekend. Oh, yeah. Please be patient. Patient, cautious, situationally aware. Driver, drive defensively. Don't be an idiot. You know, get a designated driver. Uh all that good stuff. Just be safe, everybody.
Speaker 2: If you're gonna be in a campground, be kind to others.
Speaker 1: Be kind to others because one of them might be a cop. Cops go camping too. They're watching. Traffic School is a production of River Bend Media Group. To get more info on the show or to contact us, hit up our website, Riverbend Media Group.com.
