Yes. That is a real plan. No. No one stopped them.Within seconds, the phones ignite like a dumpster fire in a wind tunnel. Amanda calls in to humblebrag about her brand new Dodge Durango (in THIS economy???) before casually dropping that she got obliterated by a 17-year-old at a roundabout—because Idaho roads are apparently just Mario Kart tracks now. Meanwhile, Jay calls in just to complain about the show existing, which somehow only fuels the chaos. Then Carl enters like a sentient Monster Energy drink, discussing Iron Maiden, his 47 hypothetical children, and the idea of teaching them to drive on cliffs like it’s a deleted scene from Fast & Furious: Canyon Drift.Things escalate further when a trucker from Iowa calls in with a deeply philosophical question: “Is it illegal for my dog to drive me while sitting on my lap?” The answer: no, but if your dog causes you to drive like a drunk Roomba, you’re going down. Then we pivot HARD into discussions about DUIs, OVI vs DUI terminology, and whether being high makes you a chill hug machine or just a slow-moving traffic hazard creating a 40 MPH speed differential from reality.But WAIT—there’s more. Donna calls in with the fury of a thousand suns about a cursed Idaho Falls intersection where drivers treat traffic laws like optional side quests. She’s out here giving people “THE LOOK” like she’s legally allowed to smite them with eye contact....","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/qIAJ-BjOF3B3aRT7fyXuTuFEPN_4vxl4nFzS_NqVGPc/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8xZjkx/OTEzMjMyYzA0YjE5/ZDRmOTkxZDk2NjE1/MTc2OS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
