The Viktor Wilt Show daily recap! If you miss the show weekdays from 6A-10A MST, you've come to the right place.
KBear. What's up? Not much. Hey. You know, do you wonder if maybe that lady from the sanitarium was actually a skinwalker?
Oh, jeez. Now we're going real deep. She could be a skinwalker. I mean, the west. Get transformed and just don't go there.
Stay out of these areas. Yeah. You know, Skinwalker Ranch is well known and documented and all over the Internet. I did find it extremely strange that there was not a single reference to the valley in the cloud sanitarium outside of like these, even if you search for it right now, you'll get like 1 or 2 pages of Google results, and they're all recent. Why is there nothing about this place anywhere?
And it does exist. But it's a forbidden zone probably for skinwalkers. Oh, you might be on to something here, Jeremy. That's what it would be my guess because they're all over the place, and it's a matter of, you know, if you're not supposed to invite those kind of people in, if there's something things weird. Yeah.
You know? You know? People talk about places like, Dolce, New Mexico with the supposed underground alien bases and things like that. I mean, I've I've read about so many of these strange locations where weird things are supposed to be taking place. There is not a peep of information anywhere about this valley in the cloud sanitarium.
It's very strange. Very strange. Yep. But I did say where she just disappeared. I would say that's probably what it is.
Alright, Jeremy, with the, skin walker, we got somebody who's, traversing through dimensions going on here. Yep. Portal to other worlds. Very well could be. The b vortex.
Alright. You're you're gonna contribute to me getting really out of hand with talking way too much today, Jeremy. Well, probably, but, you know, we all have to do our part.

You better get him with some donuts and make sure he's got some food to get through the cut the all the content today. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's gonna be a fun one. So Alright.
We will talk to you later. Thanks, Jeremy. See you. Bye. And holy cow, he just walked in the door.
Lieutenant Crane himself from the Idaho State Police. What is up, my friend? That is a great question. You've got this little smirk on your face. I just heard that last caller hang up, and I'm wondering what have I signed myself up for?
Well, every once in a while, we have a weird chill, you know. Yeah. Every once in a while. Yeah. I think today today could potentially get extra weird, or you'll just be like, nothing to see here.
Move on. Please keep moving folks. You know, like, the the cop in, in South Park or the the Simpsons, nothing to see here, Move along. Meh. So we'll get into it all here in a minute, you know, because I figured you were the perfect guy to talk to about this kind of stuff because as we've learned, the number one reporters of UFO sightings in Idaho are the Idaho state police.

Boring, or you could ask us about aliens.
Or roundabouts. Boring. Roundabouts do kinda look like UFOs. I think that's how they land. Yeah.
They're landing pads for UFO. That's what they're doing is they're getting a bunch of landing pads. Go down in the ground and then they come back up out of them when nobody's around. After a is that how they build up power? Because they're not powered by traditional means.
The vehicles that traverse around them, it's that, you know, repetitive motion. Energy. Energy. Yeah. See, I knew you were a UFO expert.
I knew it. 208-535-1015, the number to call for traffic school powered by the advocates. We got Lieutenant Crane, resident, paranormal, and UFO expert from the Idaho State Police in the house. What's the latest in the world of weird and wacky in East Idaho, Lieutenant Crane? You think we're the only 2 in the house?
Oh, yeah. You guys always have somebody else watching. They're up the ceiling. You can open those panels. Have you found that out?
I saw the platform you guys built up in there so you can lay down. You got one of those, you know, cool listening devices. You know, it's got the little thing that hooks on your ear and you put the megaphone down on the the tile up there and we know what they're saying. You guys, I don't you ain't got nothing to worry about with me. There's sometimes people abuse, drugs to the point that their brain doesn't start to work properly.
It quits working properly. Now don't talk about our callers that way. Alright? Hey. Hey.
Listen. They they have legitimate questions on this program, and we're trying to help the community. So, again, 208-535-1015, the number to call for traffic school powered by the advocates injury attorneys. Alright, Lieutenant Crane. A few months ago, I was scrolling through Reddit, and I came across a weird post.
And you're just getting to it today. I talked about it then. But this is becoming a hot issue in east Idaho due to east Idaho news doing a big investigative story about this. There was a report from about 5 years ago from the, Rexburg newspaper detailing a police report out of Island Park about a lost girl who was found. She wandered up to the scout camp, and she was kinda like had scratches and bruised up and couldn't talk very good.
And she led one of the, counts I guess it was a counselor, an another girl back to where she was from, which was a place called the valley in the clouds sanitarium. And she wouldn't let the girl who let her there go past the gate. I read this story on Reddit again a few months ago, and I thought based on that post, this is all just made up. It was interesting that it was reported in the Rexburg news, but that Reddit post showed no evidence whatsoever that this place existed. Right.
So I'm thinking this is internet conspiracy theory stories and things like that. Because, you know, they had like Google maps and things. Here's the the scout camp, which we all know about the scout camp out there. No. You've been to scout camp many times yourself?
Yes. You know, I'm, an Eagle Scout. I got my, what is it? The arrow of light is that? Yeah.
That's a thing. Yeah. I watched that movie. You know, remember that movie with, John Candy or John Goodman? I did watch the movie.
Of course you didn't. You never watch any movies. I was in the scouts, but I think I only made it to, Weebelows. Oh. Remember that?
What a weird name for it. You you dropped out because you couldn't spell it? Yeah. I was like, that doesn't make any sense. Alright.
We get it. Cub scout, little wolf scout, We below. It's like, alright. I'm out. I'm out.
I don't know what this means. So anyhow, I read this whole thing and like, you know, the girl was never seen again. They sent a deputy up to look for her. Couldn't find her. And I'm like, okay.
Another weird Internet story. I talked about it on air, moved on with my life. Somebody shared it on Facebook. Till today. Till today.
Till today. When I see this east Idaho news article about it titled a real life horror movie, Woman shares story of helping the lost team get back to sanitarium in 2019. Are you aware of a sanitarium in the middle of the woods near Island Park? Oh, absolutely. Okay.
What's going on there? I thought the place didn't exist. East Idaho News drove up to the gate. Isn't that a weird name for something? Valley in the Clouds sanitarium?
There's the gate. And the address. Yeah. You there it is. You drive right up to it.
If you Google that phrase, there are there's, like, nothing on the Internet about this till a few months ago. There's nothing about this place. A lot of people have stuff up there, so people don't know where their place is. Well, they put a label on it. It's a big sign.
It's a big rock monument. A big rock monument. And, Yeah. I just wanted to know what's going on. Let's go check you in at 5 tonight and see if you last till Sunday evening at 8.
You know, generally, the sanitarium is, you know, on the outskirts of town, you know, something like that. It's a big old creepy building. East Idaho news drove up there and like, well, there's a no trespassing sign. So they were smart and they didn't go past it because yeah. See private.
Keep out. Yeah. Around here, you don't go past those signs because there might be someone living in a shack with lots of guns who might, you're on my property. Yeah. I don't go anywhere near any signs that say private, keep out.
You know? They got them all along the fence when you drive out to the site. You're like, no. Don't pass it. You just stand at the fence line and mock them and make fun of them.
That's right. Hey. I'm here. I'm not past the same. What are you gonna do to me?
We're not today. Do cut cops. Exactly. Call them up, call them up. But, so they, they pointed out, you can see some structures back in the trees.
They said like, many structures, but you can't really see what's going on there. Somebody, you know, went to a incredible amount of effort to build this, you know, large stone sign. And it just had such a, like, Stephen king esque name to it. The valley in the clouds sanitarium. Sounds like a horror movie place, doesn't it?
Nothing? Nothing on this? Get scared easy. I do. I do.
If I I was picturing myself out riding a 4 wheeler. This is nothing like Arizona with nude beaches. Now we can get into different conspiracy theories with vortexes and things like that if we want to talk about the the Arizona desert. There's some something weird going on out there too. You know, those, you know, hidden evidence of lost civilizations in the Grand Canyon.
I saw it on Netflix. All in 40 minutes. That's right. You can learn a lot in, Netflix and YouTube documentaries, and it's all true. So, yeah, this article's kind of running wild here.
And, I don't know. I just figured I'd see if you had any kind of insight as to, is this a portal to another dimension? Are you familiar with the skin Walker ranch in Utah? I am not. I don't believe you.
You're an insider. You're, you know, high ranking paranormal expert at the Idaho state police. You don't know about the skinwalker. Remember, but I am the president. So, and by the way, listeners, if you have legit question and questions about the community, 208-535-1015 is the number to call with your traffic school questions.
So the Skinwalker Ranch in Utah, it's, out in the middle of nowhere, kinda like the valley in the cloud sanitarium. And this really rich guy named guy. I think his name was Robert Bigelow. Yeah. Like, one of these billionaire guys got way too much money to just waste on whatever.
Paranormal activity was supposed to be taken place. Like, you know, you had your classic UFO cattle mutilations and then, beings coming through portals from other dimensions and, UFOs. The the works had the works going on, considered one of the biggest paranormal hotspots in the, in the world. And, you know, so they set up this research facility or something there to investigate. And as far as I know, nothing happened, but, I figure this is our Skinwalker Ranch.
What would you say if I could get you the opportunity to go past the no trespassing signs? Let's go. I could I could get some great viral Internet content. You're saying you know who owns You you got that twinkle in your eye. You don't wanna give me any information on air, though.
Got your sent us, wound up now. Yeah. Yeah. I I do wanna go past the gate. Nobody can go past the gate.
That's the thing. Nobody's been past the gate. I could be the guy. Can I film past the gate? I don't know.
I'm very intrigued. Do we get to do we get to write a side by side? You have to go through a process. Hey. I went I talked about this the other day.
I went through a background check years ago to be able to sell firearms. But the problem is the difference between what was your life was then and now and the things you've done in between. Oh, no. I was way worse back then. They approved me.
I was good to go. So I think I'm fine now. That was quite, quite the process. You know, it is weird to me how I had to go through that kind of process to be in a building with, like, security and cameras and bars on the windows and everything locked up. But then if I wanted to just take one of my own and go to the Walmart parking lot, yeah, yeah, it's fine.
They're really weird. Some of our laws, we've talked about them. They don't make a lot of sense. Well, listeners, I pride for information as I promised I would. I guess we'll have to stay tuned.
We might have a great video that could end up on the History Channel coming soon. They got lots of UFO shows. I'll hit up, you know, you've seen the the guy with the weird hair. I don't remember what his name is, but he's in all the memes. Aliens.
You you have to have at least seen that. I'm seeing him. Yeah. That's right. We'll get on ancient aliens.
Yeah. Yeah. You and me. There's some things happening here. I think so.
Valley in the clouds. It's weird, man. All right, everybody. You, you better call with some questions for traffic school. Cause I just ran out of steam.
No way. No way. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I've I've babbled on about this for a long time today because look at this.
The East Idaho news went out and they went to town. They did a long article about this. I didn't they said they found, like, the name of a property owner, but, they couldn't get a hold of them. I didn't read that person's name on air because who knows, you know? A lot of time people, you know, they'll go and, they'll squat on people's land.
You You know, this guy, if he's like out of state or something, he might have no idea that the aliens have moved in and set up, you know, who who knows what? Going on here? Because all it really does take to keep people out around here is a gate with a sign that says no. Because you you don't know what kind of person on the other side of that gate. You always, react to no very well.
I do. I'm if somebody tells me no, that's all it takes. Right? I don't ever argue. K, Mary, you're live on traffic school powered by the advocates injury attorneys.
Who's this? Hey. This is Zach again. How's it going? Zach doing good.
What's up? Hey. So curious on roundabout. You're powering UFOs, Zach. That's what you do.
We found the truth about roundabouts today. Absolutely. So am I yielding to every single lane in that multi lane roundabouts or just what I'm going into? Hey, Zach. What you need to do is just pull up there, be very hesitant and cautious, and don't move for at least 3 to 4 minutes.
Yeah, I've got a new documentary coming out about roundabouts. It's called Look to the Left and Go! Jeez! And that's the that's the whole documentary. 40 minutes worth.
Just me yelling look to the left and go. I drive up to roundabouts and just yell at people. Nice. If Victor would put put the energy into going out and do his documentary on roundabouts and he does this paranormal stuff, we'd have got our film out 10 years ago. It's gonna be the most popular traffic law related documentary of all time.
It's gonna be an Emmy winning documentary. Academy Awards. Well, you guys also got that, like, nightmare of an intersection now down on the College, Texas for expert. What's going on there? Hey.
Hey. That's brand new. That is brand new, and it is confusing. It's called the diamond. I got a Diamond in the rough.
Is it like the one in Pocatello? Is it that kind of thing? It is. Oh, same same kind of deal? Under the underpass instead on top of it.
Okay. Alright. Well, you know Yeah. I feel like I'm at England all of a sudden driving on the left hand side, and then I switch over to the right. Well, let's see.
How long did it take Pocatello to figure it out? Few years? So, yeah, Rexburg, give it a few years. People will eventually get a word. New people in every year, though.
Oh, yeah. Those those kids, those college students, they don't know how to drive. Oh, no, they do not. All right. So, yeah.
What I recommend in that, area is look at the signs and follow the arrows. And we've been gonna do this documentary on roundabouts, like I say, for about 10 years, but we haven't been able to get, Victor's car running yet. It's a little old sedan, and it's always broke down in quite damn. That's So I'm just burning gas in that truck. Can't even afford to drive myself out to the valley in the cloud sanitarium.
Gas prices are too high for an investigation. I hope you guys have a good day. Hey. You too, Zach. Thanks for the call, man.
Peace. And, again, 208-535-1015 is the number to call for traffic school powered by the advocates. Well, since you callers, people didn't call me all morning nonstop the minute we try to help the community. Radio silence here. Maybe there's a common denominator in this problem.
They're all driving out to the woods coming out because I've been, you know, riling them up. Let's see here. Traffic school. Do you think there's cell service up there? Cell service up.
I would think if you're near a vortex with portals to another dimension, I'm doubting it. Yeah. I'm surprised that east Idaho news cameras were working. Usually you get that, you know, electrical interference from the UFOs and make you What do you think like static? Yeah.
Ruins it. K Bear, you're live on traffic school powered by the advocates. Yes. So I have a question. I have a coworker who has Oh, we can't get into that.
That's personal. He, he has his physical license plate on his vehicle, but he also has the temporary paper in his vehicle as well. What what's the law on that? Because I'm genuinely curious. Because you have a bet with him?
No. Just because he doesn't like to be told, the last answer. Yeah. He can't handle the truth. Yeah.
And, you know, this program, this is all about truth. We're finding the truth today. What, what does this temporary tag say? It just says that it's, like, good for the month of that, and then it's expired after the month, but he already has his, like, physical license plates on his vehicle. And we told him, that he doesn't have to have the the temporary license plate anymore.
Yeah. Once he gets his paper? Yep. Once he gets his permanent plates, he can take that out of his window. Okay.
I doubt I hate to disappoint you, but I if they match and they're both the same, I really doubt he's gonna get any havoc from any law enforcement. But Okay. I mean, I was just curious. That's all. But, yes, once he gets his permanent plates, he can take the temporary out of the back window.
It's no longer necessary. Okay. That's all I needed to know. Cool. Because you you can't get in any trouble for obstructing your rear window.
Right? It's well, it's not really considered obstructing your rear window because that's where it's asked to be displayed when that is your, temporary license plate. But what if it's unnecessarily there because you have a license plate? If you can still see to the rear with your side windows, you're still fine. Okay.
Alright. There you go. Awesome. Thank you. Have a good one.
Yeah. You too. You've seen panel vans that can't see off the bat. Yeah. Up there at the paranormal.
Well, if you're gonna investigate the paranormal, I I learned back in the day as a kid, maybe you've actually seen this show. It's called Scooby Doo. You have to drive a van to investigate the paranormal. Have you ever heard of that show? Well, it's up, Shaggy.
Oh, okay. Yeah. Yes. I'm amazed. Finally found a show you've heard of.
Now that's on my level. That's something I can understand. Okay. Alright. Yeah.
Alright. No South Park though, No. No. Okay. 208-535-1015, the number to call for traffic school powered by the advocates.
Okay. Luke sent us a question through the traffic school question form at riverbendmediagroup.com. Okay. Hang on. We gotta call her.
So much for you, Luke. Sorry, Luke. You should have called live. K. K Barry, you're live on the show.
Who's this? This is Lee. How's it going, guys? Doing awesome, Lee. What's up?
Oh, not much. Hey, with the traveling season around, I had a question about trailers. So currently, my parents have left in my possession their trailer to haul their 4 wheelers around, you know, when they come up to visit. What's the law on me using that around the state of Idaho where they don't have license plates or registration for their trailers in Utah? That's a good question.
Do you have the title to the trailer shown that's titled in Utah? My parents do. Yes. Yeah. So, yeah, once, you have that, we recognize Utah's laws on that, and you'd be just fine.
So I can use that anytime I feel the need? Or Yep. Yep. Well, I'd I'd call your mom first. Now you said Would you like me to call her?
Late for lunch? Or Ma'am. Ma'am? Yes, sir. Now with your parents, you how many 4 wheelers are we talking?
It's just a 2 two spot. 2. So you and him. I don't have to go now. No.
But I need you to escort me. I feel safer with the police when I'm out doing paranormal investigation on a 4 wheeler. Yeah. We can go up to that sanitarium and and see a bunch of weird stuff if you like. Alright.
We're going UFO spotting. I think you camp right outside that gate. I mean, you are familiar with area 51. Right, Lieutenant Kirk? I've heard of it.
Yeah. Somewhere along the line. I actually got a figure 8 car that has that number right on the side. Oh, no. See, I knew you were in on this.
I knew you were in on this. Do you know Does it make weird noises like the new hybrid cars? Just the one that's backing up. Because I'm wondering there's a there was a special mailbox out in the Nevada desert, and that's where they'd go stand and watch for UFOs. So what I think we gotta do is we head up that way, and we gotta find a useless mailbox in the middle of nowhere.
You find weird stuff in the woods. One time when I was in the woods, somebody We we could probably put a mailbox in the middle of nowhere and call it good. But you need the people involved with all of this paranormal activity to be, you know, the the MIBs, the men in black, they gotta be the ones to put the mailbox in because they know the right spot. They're the ones getting down to business. Totally lost my train of thought.
President is sitting across the counter from you, isn't he? He is. I'm I'm bit by bit. I'm getting information out of this guy as the show goes on here. But I am RB Curly Fries.
He likes to eat at Arby's. Oh, yeah. Hey, no giving them free plugs. I prefer the, carne asada fries from Halisco's myself. Yeah.
That's what I thought. I thought for sure you'd go with the SLA. Oh, no, no. We go with Halisco's all the way powering the noon hour of madness and mayhem. They're delicious.
I had myself a great Chipotle burrito there the other day. Fantastic. Sounds delicious. It was. It was.
All right, man. Appreciate the call today and enjoy your, 4 wheeling. Yeah, I will. And we'll talk to you guys later. Hey, you as well, man.
Peace. Take care. Bye. 208-535-115, the number to call for Traffic School powered by the advocates. Who's this?
This is Matt. Matt. What's up, man? I have a question for y'all when it comes to tow trucks and using the beacons on the way to an accident. Please.
Are you trying to intimidate us with that? Bro, why you got a call with tow trucks, man? You don't wanna get me on a different tangent altogether. Can't talk tow trucks. Well, let's go ahead and talk about it.
Are are we allowed to use our beacons on the way to an accident if it's an emergency and they want us there quick? Well, the problem is your beacons aren't emergency lights. Right? So there's no code or law that says, you have to yield to an orange flashing light and pull over and let them buy. You use caution around them.
But, yeah, you can turn them on, but it's not forcing anybody to yield to you. Alright. Are we allowed to use the shoulder to get to an accident? And we've done that numerous times. Nobody said anything, but legal wise, are we allowed to Absolutely.
If you're asked to come because you're the clearance. Right? So if the traffic's all backed up into a standstill, absolutely turn your lights on, come off to the shoulder, and and get do what you have to to get where we need you. Okay. And then you guys have that slow down and move over law, not only for you guys, but that, that's all I need.
Worker on the right or on the shoulder of the road. Alright. Well, then tell those people to slow down and move over. I got kids to get home too. Yeah.
Yeah. I wish they'd pay attention to that law when we're on the side too. No kidding, people. Be cautious. I I agree a 100% with you on that.
What's the fine for it if they don't slow down and move over and they get pulled over for that? You know what? I'd have to look that up. I don't recall right off the top of my head. Alright.
Well, that's my question. Hey. I I got a question for you. What's your name? Matt.
Matt, what's the name of your towing company? Hendrickson's. Hendrickson's. Alright. I've I've gotta say, Matt seems very concerned about doing things, doing business in a very legitimate way.
So I've got to give a plug to Hendrickson's Towing everybody, caring about following things to a tee. I love it. Thank you, Matt, and, I wish you great business. Thanks, Victor. Appreciate it.
Have a good one, man. You too. Bye. Lieutenant Crane's currently doing some paranormal research. I'm gonna, take this call.
K Berry, you're live on traffic school powered by the advocates. Who's this? Hey. Rather not say my name. Oh, yeah.
Alright. What what did you do? Nothing yet. Hey. Real quick.
Real quick. Matt, $90. That's the fine for cellular move over. $90. Okay.
We're back on track. So I've just gotten a new drone that has a camera on it that, you know, you put the goblets on and you can kinda see where the drone is flying. What is the rules on flying above public property? Because, obviously, you're not allowed to step foot on it, but if I'm flying a drone and nobody's really come out and said anything, no one seems to be upset about it You'll find that if you start trying to film stuff inside the home that 9 out of 10 times, it'll, your nose will start to bleed. I see.
I saw a story the other day about a Florida man who saw a Walmart delivery drone in the air and he blasted it out of the sky with a shotgun. So, I'd say you have a decent chance of that on private property. Let me just tell you this. I think common sense rules. Right?
Don't violate people's personal space. And so if you're just flying it over to fly it over to get somewhere, not a problem. If you're hovering and trying to get footage of certain things, you're gonna have problems. I see. Okay.
I was just Do you really, though? To, like, a defensive space. Do you really see or do you just see through your goggles? No. I just I figured it would be good to get an idea of what I'd be looking at.
I figured if I took it out to some abandoned place out in, like, Island Park somewhere and flew a drone around. You well, you'll be probably become an Internet hero, but you might you don't know what you're gonna run into, man. I'm telling you those no trespassing. Don't go here. Stay out.
I've seen enough horror movies. That's what I figured. Thought I might ask. Alright. Well, appreciate the call, man.
Yep. Thank you. Yep. Have a good one. You too.
208-535-1015. I'm not gonna tell you my name. I can tell you where I live, but I'm telling you where I'm going. But I'm not gonna tell you how mad my neighbors are. Again, 208-535-1015, the number to call for traffic school powered by the advocates.
Alright, Luke. What did he want? Yeah. Sure. Let's go back to poor Luke.
I I didn't read the question until right now. Has anyone else noticed her name was l stranger things, the underworld. I did it. I will admit Luke when I first saw that article and it said the girl's name was Elle that kind of threw up a flag like, maybe we got some some, you know, joking around going on here from, the the person that East Idaho News interviewed about the mysterious valley in the cloud sanitarium. I mean, you haven't watched stranger things, I would assume.
I have not. I'm surprised because East Idaho's leading paranormal normal expert wouldn't watch a show called Stranger Things. I live it. Oh, that's true. That's true.
I know that. But you've seen men in black. Right? I've I think I've started it and slept through the last of it. Because it's just too boring compared to the real life Men in Black.
I mean, people think that those guys wear suits. And it's I mean, I'm looking at the outfit. It's sorta like a suit, you know, but you guys wear hats too and no tie. No tie. They they got the attire wrong in that movie.
They do. Yeah. Because you're you're you're the man in black right here. Wintertime, we wear a tie. That's right.
Looking a little bit more like the men in black in winter, but they they got the hats wrong. They just got and they got the nice, you know, combed hair and stuff. They have hair. They have hair. K, Barry.
You're live on traffic school powered by the advocates. Who's this? Hey. This is Parker. How's it going?
Great, Parker. What's up? I got a question. There's a lot of been a lot of congestion through Black Boat when it goes down to one lane. What's the best thing for cars to do so there's not so much congestion?
Man, that is a great question, and I'm gonna give you the answer, but nobody's gonna follow it. How about that? Are we gonna talk about zipper merging? Exactly. And nobody will do it.
Nobody because, boy, you're not getting ahead of me. But it's a proven fact that if you will let one car go from one lane and the other car go from the other lane and zipper into the the one lane, it is much more effective. Do you zipper merge right when it goes down to one lane or do you try and do it a mile before it goes down to one lane? Right there at it. Just boom boom boom because if you back it up a mile, then somebody really gets offended because somebody drives by, you know, and so, yeah, everybody thinks yeah.
It's crazy how important it is to cut somebody off and not let them in front of you. Hey. I'm I'm in a hurry, and I need to be there 2 seconds early. Yeah. But, yeah, your the answer to your question is zipper merge there at the at the, Lane merger.
Perfect. Thanks for the information. Well, could you get out and hold a sign for that? I guess we don't have a volunteer. I guess not.
He's like, what? He's thinking about it. He's punching it in his cabinet. The temperature and was like No. Stand outside.
Are you kidding me? I'll say my AC truck. I'll tell you what. Absolutely, man. We appreciate the call, and that is a good one to get out there.
There's a lot of construction going on. And even I, I mean, the first time that came up on the show, I was like, why do people drive all the way up to the end? You know? And you had to inform me that science has shown zipper merging more effective, but people just don't do it. I, I do have to share this with you, caller.
This might be fun for you to hear. Last week, I'm trying to come over pan carry and it's zipper merging. Right? So I turn left, and I'm in the lane. I have to merge over to the right.
I'm in a zipper merge. Well, I'm ahead of the guy that I'm supposed to and my signal light's on, and I'm in my uniform, but I'm in a unmarked police car. And, he is not gonna let me in, and he is making it evident that he's not gonna let me in that lane. So when he gets right up the side of me, I roll my window down, have him roll his window down, and I said, have you heard ever heard of zipper merging? And did a glint of sunlight flash off your badge?
He figured it out, and then he's like, giving me the old cup hand. Oh, go ahead. Go ahead. Come on in, bud. Hey, friend.
I'm meant for that to happen. Yeah. I I I don't know. My brakes weren't working. Well, appreciate the call, man.
Thank you, guys. Peace. Alright. One more call. Kay Bear, you're live on traffic school powered by the advocates.
Who's this? This is Kellen. Kellen, what's up? So I have a question, to piggyback off of the construction question. Is there any penalties for you know, because you have all the drivers that wanna hurry and race to the very beginning when they know they have to get over.
Are is there a penalty, or can you get in trouble if because I see it all the time with semis where semis will get in the middle of both the left and right lane and not let anybody pass so that they have to get over. Is Yeah. They're in Yeah. When you're blocking, that's, just like, when you're traveling in the fast lane at the speed limit or less and not and blocking traffic up behind you. So even and I I get their frustrations.
Right? But it is designed to be a zipper movement, and so it you can't block traffic to get up there. Awesome. Alright. Thanks so much.
Hey. Thanks, man. Peace. Bye. Alright.
We'll do your one last call, but you gotta make it snappy. Who's this? Hey. Hey. Just wanna let you guys know I took your advice on that roundabout and, sat there for them 4 minutes.
And there's there's quite a bit of unhappy people behind me. Alright. Alright. Good. Good.
You know, they ain't got places to be. I I I always got anywhere to be. Hey, since you do know how to listen, could you grab a sign that says zipper motion and go stand out black Yeah. I know. Not okay.
Alright. We'll keep trying. We'll keep trying. Thanks, man. Alright.
Have a good day. You too. Peace. Alright. That was another stellar edition of Traffic School powered by the advocates.
Any community stuff you need to get out there to the people? Don't go to places you don't understand. I think that's a fair message. It's a fair message. And on that, we're out.
