The official replay of the weekly KBear 101 live call-in show featuring Viktor Wilt and Lieutenant Marvin Crain of the Idaho State Police. Join the show with your questions live every Friday morning at 8:45AM at RiverbendMediaGroup.com!
Speaker 1: We got the cops in the house.
Speaker 2: Oh man, it feels like it's been forever. Has it been?
Speaker 1: When was the last time we did it live? It seems like ages ago.
Speaker 2: I've been living so good, but I have to see for months.
Speaker 1: I know. Just hanging out on vacation all the time. It's got to be pretty nice to be you.
Speaker 2: My wife's like, why are you so happy? I'm like, it's been months since I've had to see Victor. Well, it's the new year.
Speaker 1: So time to get back to business here.
Speaker 2: Never get too high because it'll always bring you down.
Speaker 1: That's right. That's right. Glad I could crash your new year right out of the gate. So I didn't think you'd show up today, you know, it being the day after New Year's, but I guess you don't party like you used to.
Speaker 2: And consider my track record with you the last couple months.
Speaker 1: I know. I was like, he's quitting the show. What we're going to do, we got to cancel the feature.
Speaker 2: I was, but my mom says I'm no quitter.
Speaker 1: All right, we've even got somebody calling already. Hey, Barry, you were live on the show. Keep that in mind. Who's this? Crazy J. Oh, first traffic school caller of the new year. Crazy J. What's up, man?
Speaker 3: Nothing much. Is everyone having a fantastic new year so far for only two days into it?
Speaker 1: Yeah. So far for being day number two, it's pretty good. You know, spent yesterday just eating food and watching stranger things. That was a good New Year's Day.
Speaker 3: What about you, Jay? Alrighty. I had a good one. All right. I am doing fine. And I hope everyone else is.
Speaker 2: I was just asking Victor to ask you how he been doing. I was like, Victor, asking him, how's he been doing?
Speaker 3: How have you been doing? I've been great. Thank you. All right. OK. Well, is that I'm glad you're still alive. And thank you. I got a question. If you're able to make it so a car could go backwards, could you still drive it down the road if everything was fine?
Speaker 2: Hey, Jay, I don't know if you know this and I don't know how many years you've been driving, but they will go backwards. When you're looking at the dash, there's typically an R somewhere.
Speaker 3: I'm the regular tree.
Speaker 2: I'm the regular tree. They'll let you use reverse anywhere in them. You just have to push the brake on, stop going forward and then put it in reverse and you can go backwards anywhere.
Speaker 3: I know that. I'm saying, I'm saying, could you continually go instead of going forward, just go backwards?
Speaker 2: Well, that's kind of how my whole life's been. But no, on the street, Jay, we're probably not going to let you drive in reverse.
Speaker 3: Oh, come on.
Speaker 1: Especially you, Jay.
Speaker 2: That calls for two hits to the kneecap.
Speaker 3: What about? Did that some that's not good?
Speaker 4: What about that?
Speaker 2: You know, Jay, I find most of the time when we're enforcing the law, when it comes to the person we're enforcing it with, they're the ones that are going, well, wait a minute, that's no good.
Speaker 5: I wonder why.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's all about us, Jay.
Speaker 3: Yes, I know. As individuals. Yes. Well, I have. All right, everyone. Go ahead, Jay. Oh, I was going to tell everyone happy new year.
Speaker 1: And that's what I was going to tell you. Happy new year as well, Jay. And I hope you have a good one today. And it's good to hear from you on traffic school, because it's been a while.
Speaker 3: All right. Everyone have fun.
Speaker 2: Not only today, but the next 360 or 363 days.
Speaker 3: OK, at least you got it right. He can math. All right. All right. Thanks, Jay. See you, man. All right. Bye.
Speaker 1: That's right. Traffic school time 208-535-1015. The number to call powered by the advocates. Lieutenant Crane, you have a good holiday season.
Speaker 2: It was good, real good. We really didn't have anything major going on. That's always good, right? Good for the public, good for law enforcement. But as this morning, if you're traveling, we do have the white stuff falling in the higher countries. So if you're going in elevation, please add some travel time into your plans. Make sure your tires are in good condition. Racing slicks are not good for this time of year.
Speaker 1: That's right. Take out your your speed racing motorcycle. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah. There was guys riding their motorcycles on Christmas. I see. And you know, that's kind of a bragging right that. Yeah, I rode my motorcycle on December 25th, 2025.
Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, Christmas was great. Yeah. I loved the nice weather on Christmas. I know some people were sad.
Speaker 2: Mostly your neighbors, they called and said that you're laying out in your backyard and not disturbing their peace.
Speaker 1: Well, as we've learned, don't look over the fence. Right. You know, if I'm in my backyard, if you're peeping over the fence, that's your problem. It's my property. Can do what I want. I mean, what's the point of having a hot tub if you're going to you know, wear a swim suit.
Speaker 2: Oh, man. That's why I had some people call me concerned about their neighbors wanting to see that. And I'm like, I promise you, they don't.
Speaker 1: There you go. They'll look for a second and be like, oh, close the blinds.
Speaker 2: Run into the house and call the counselor.
Speaker 1: So again, 208-535-1015 is the number to call for traffic school powered by the advocates. It's I know that recently you told me when you were going to be on Family Feud.
Speaker 2: Are you allowed to talk about that on there? Yeah, yeah, we can talk about that. I don't know what that's going to look like for the Crane family.
Speaker 1: Well, I know it'll be funny. I know that much because your family's hilarious.
Speaker 2: So I know that my daughter and Steve Harvey were like oil and water. I can't wait to see this. Yeah. So the 27th and 28th two days, two days.
Speaker 1: Hmm. That makes me think that you were on more than one. Unless they do reruns the next day. I'll do in the math. So 27th and 28th of this month.
Yeah. And what channel is Family Feud on? I think Channel 8 at like four o'clock or 430. OK, we got to figure out a way to have some kind of a watching party so we can check it out, you know, get a good bunch of listeners.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's going to be nothing better than have a bunch of people to be ready at will to poke fun at me.
Speaker 1: Exactly. We, you know, we hold it at some place where maybe people can have some beverages.
Speaker 2: Loosen them up a little with the comments.
Speaker 5: That's right.
Speaker 1: Well, we'll verify what channel and time in this and that and keep you all posted. But I'm really excited to see you guys on Family Feud.
Speaker 2: It was a fun experience.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And you wouldn't to this day, you haven't told me anything about what happened.
Speaker 2: Hey, contracts, baby.
Speaker 1: Sworn to secrecy. Well, I can't wait. That's that's awesome. Listeners, again, if you want to take part in the show, you can call us at 208-535-1015. And we're not talking Family Feud.
Speaker 2: We're talking traffic school. If you want to take part in traffic school, call that number.
Speaker 1: I mean, they could call and ask you random questions like you would get on Family Feud to see how well you do. We've done a survey. Well, what percent of Americans do you think could fight or believe that they could take a grizzly bear on with their bare hands?
Speaker 2: Well, probably about three and they're the dumb ones. That's right.
Speaker 1: That is exactly correct. Is that right? I did the story. You were listening on the way. No, I wasn't. I go figure. You have about three percent.
Speaker 2: I showed you what kind of ill-billy games we played over the holidays. We played human shot puts.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I never never cease to surprise me. Well, Jared wants to know when pulling out of a parking lot with no stop sign, do you yield or come to a complete stop?
Speaker 2: Well, that's a great question. And Idaho Code reads this. Anytime you're entering the roadway from an alley, another roadway or a parking lot, you're required to come to a complete stop before moving forward.
Speaker 1: Oh, OK. I didn't know it. I figured, you know, there's nobody there. I'm low. I get I'm on the clock. Maybe I got places to me. I ain't got time for this. And that reminds me of another question that Justin posted on the hawk group online. You know, a lot of people pull in the parking lot, especially those who drive trucks and they park backward and it was a poll. Do you know, do you back your truck in or your vehicle in or do you pull into the parking spot forward? What do you do, Lieutenant Crane?
Speaker 2: We. We back in for the purpose of this. We find that a high percentage of your crashes happen while in reverse. So if we back in while we're not in a hurry, then if we get a call for duty and we have to leave in a hurry, we can pull out forward and reduce our risk for a crash.
Speaker 1: I know what do you do personally? Oh, when you're out and about in your pickup? I'd pull in those first. You pull in those four. Yeah, see, that's what I do, too, because to me, it would only be efficient. Like if you were parking on a road like a busy road, because backing into traffic would suck.
But if you just pull out and go, you just get out and go. Because Josh and Justin, they back into the parking lot here every day and they give me grief like you drive a truck. Why don't you back your truck in? I'm like, because I just want to get into the office. I pull in the parking and get in there.
Speaker 2: I'm running late. Exactly. I'm in a hurry. They need to move to Victor because in Victor, they have a city ordinance that says you back into the curb. So you're always pulling out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the way they've got their parking spot set up. It's the only place I've ever been. You know, the only thing about that town that drives me crazy that they spell the name wrong. I don't know when they're going to change it in my honor and start spelling it with a K. But it's all right.
It's still a pretty town. It's OK. It's all right. It's a nice place. All right.
Again, 208-535-1015, the number to call for traffic school powered by the advocates. I guess everybody all sleeping and hung over from New Year's. We can only hope they had a good time. I hope they did. I hope it was safe and fun.
Speaker 2: We had a slow night. That's always good. We always do. People say, hey, it's going to be your busiest night of the year. Right. And what we find is due to so many good people in our community, it really helps us out because we get so many free volunteers to give rides home like different taxi services and different venues like that that come out and assist. And so it really is a quiet night for us.
Speaker 1: What's the busiest night usually like 4th of July?
Speaker 2: 4th of July is just because I don't know if you've ever heard of it, but we have a celebration here in Idaho.
Speaker 1: I'd heard of the Melaleuca Freedom Celebration, and it seems like a handful of people might show up to that event. And I've been to it maybe a handful of times.
Speaker 2: And man, what a wonderful opportunity to have that in our community. Right. Oh, yeah. That's great. We do. We're busy. So.
Speaker 1: All right. Well, since the listeners aren't calling and taking part in the show, I got a bunch of random things I pulled up here. You know, with it being, you know, New Year, there was a lot of a lot of talk about drunk people. Well, people were drinking.
And people were drinking on New Year's. There was one story I read where a guy went into a store. He stole a couple of mandolins, you know, the instrument. And then I guess he felt bad
Speaker 2: because after three beers, you can just play him. Exactly. Just.
Speaker 1: But I guess he felt bad afterwards. So he brought him back with an apology note that said, sorry, I've been drunk. Now, is that excuse good enough to get you out of a theft charge?
Speaker 2: Well, it all depends, right? Is the product still in good condition? OK. Has it been unwrapped? Is it is it still the condition it was when you took it? Can they still resell it? Now, one thing that you have to think about is when he left there, he had the intent to steal. That's true. Then he come back with the sorrow of doing so.
Speaker 1: Well, cut the next day. What am I going to do? I don't even play mandolin. What is this?
Speaker 2: Nor did I ever have any desire to.
Speaker 1: Well, who would want to learn to play a mandolin? I'm going to start a bluegrass band. That's right.
Speaker 2: But I'd love to see you step out in center stage with a mandolin and and been like, I'm here to rock you.
Speaker 1: Did they make an electric mandolin that I could put some distortion through? That's right. I would learn to play a mandolin up anything with strings on a monkey with it. The only ones I don't like are the ukulele. It just sounds so weak.
Speaker 2: Well, it looks a little compared to you when you're playing it, because you're so massive. That's right.
Speaker 1: Did I tell you I broke my snow blower by ripping the cord out of it? Trying to only imagine. That's what happens when you got this kind of brute strength. So I think JD is going to try to come help me fix that later today.
Speaker 2: If not, I know a guy that can do it in heartbeat. Call Cawcash. He can do it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's good with that, too. All right. Been a while since I had him over to work on crap in my house. So. All right. We had some questions from earlier in the week. If you rear end a drunk driver who is to blame. You. But you guys do end up getting two for the price of one, right? Oh, absolutely.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll cite you for following too close then. But and you know what's sad is there are quite a few times, quite often that we go to investigate a crash and the poor person that was not at fault has been drinking and they're just sitting there their heads down, going, I can't believe this. Right. Now, it wasn't too many years ago.
We could still arrest him on scene and take him to jail for DUI. Yeah. Right. So they're minding their own business, kind of relaxed, had a couple and boom, getting a crash not their fault. And then we come arrest them, take them to jail.
Speaker 4: Right. That's a bad thing. Things have changed. Things have changed. And now if it didn't happen in our presence, we can't arrest. So what would happen now is we would show up, we would do the DUI investigation and then we would site and release them for DUI, make sure they get a safe ride home. Wow.
Speaker 1: Well, now people don't drink and drive just because you're like, I'm not ever going to be the one at fault. You're still going to get cited for the DUI.
Speaker 2: Because that's that 3 percent that like to wrestle bears that are like, I drive better drunk.
Speaker 1: Well, there was some kind of lawmaker out of Wyoming arrested last week who said after getting pulled over and cited for DUI, you know, he does it to cope with his anxiety. And that was another question I was going to ask you. Is that a good enough excuse? It keeps my nerves down.
Speaker 2: And so this is the thing. Let's go back to, you know, just because you're not going to get arrested on scene doesn't mean you should go out and drink and drive. Because what's going to happen? You're still getting cited into court.
Oh, yeah. And so now it's up to the judge how many days in jail you get when it comes time to be found guilty or not guilty. If you're found not guilty, nothing.
Right. But if you're found guilty, the judge is going to come down with a sentence saying, and who knows how many days may not have happened the night you got her in the incident, but at some point there's probably going to be some jail time to serve. With that being said, does any excuse work to say, well, my anxiety or I do better after my nerves are relaxed a little bit? Now, if you're over the legal limit, which is point zero eight and you're driving a vehicle and you get caught, it doesn't matter what your excuse is.
Speaker 1: There you go. And he's a lawmaker. He's probably not going to get that many days. All right. Isn't that how it tends to be?
Speaker 2: Oh, they slap on the wrist. They'll probably give him a payment.
Speaker 1: Exactly. Doing good work. You got us into the news. Yo, listeners, we are doing a live show. Two oh eight. I seem like. Yeah. I know you might be thinking other on vacation again. Now we're here.
We're live two oh eight five three five one oh one five. If you got a question for traffic school powered by the advocates. It's somebody posted in the life and Idaho Falls group on Facebook the other day stating, you know, hey, don't be thinking you can get on your horse and ride at home drunk from the bar on New Year's. Now, can you ride a horse drunk home from the bar?
Speaker 2: All right. So if you're in Idaho Falls or any city limits, most of the time they have a city ordinance of being intoxicated in public. Right. Yes. So if you're becoming a nuisance and you're intoxicated, it doesn't matter if you're on your horse on your feet. On your bicycle, right?
Yes. You can't be an obnoxious drunk. If you just had your horse tied up outside, decide to ride home. I don't know if anybody's going to bother you, but that's going to be a long ride. I haven't seen any stables real close to the downtown bars.
Speaker 1: All right, we got somebody calling. Let's see what we've got here. K-Bear, you were live on traffic school powered by the advocates. Who's this? This is John. John, what's up, man? What do you want to know?
Speaker 6: Well, I don't know. Nobody was calling in. I was listening from the apps and some out of town.
Speaker 2: So that's for yourself. I don't feel sorry for him. Like I didn't want to interrupt this, interrupt my listening. But you know, I guess I'll just hop on. No. All right. So I had, I was an independent contractor once and my, my contractor, who I, who I got to know pretty well was,
Speaker 6: was telling me about Idaho laws and, uh, and, and robots. And was telling me about, about break checking and falling too closely and said that one time he was, he was driving with his black dog Ram. You know, sounds like a contractor.
I got a big black truck. His eight is lifted. Yeah.
Six, seven diesel. And he said someone was, uh, was, was following him and he just break checked them and they found that the, the other person to fall for falling too closely. But what's, what's like the limit, you know, that I could see or I could get away with for break checking in Idaho. Hmm.
Speaker 2: I would just suggest this. No break checking. Right. Yeah. Don't let your emotions get involved because anytime you do, we got some new troops that just hired on the started yesterday. So we got six new troops. I should have brought that up. But one thing I told them at the, I'm so proud of you. Good for you.
Speaker 1: I wasn't ready with the button.
Speaker 2: John, you should have done that for him. Now he's getting ready, but yeah, we got six more guys out there just to watch for Victor now, but of course, one thing I told them at our first meeting is, Hey, don't let your emotions determine your action. Right. And a lot of times when we're talking about road rage like that, you start to break check. Man, if things go south, you'd hate to have to have consequences for a split second decision.
Speaker 6: Well, that wasn't a question though. It's like, what's the limit?
Speaker 2: You know, well, so what would have would come out and investigate it and everything would be totally different. I can't tell you what a limit would be, but if you pull in, don't give them efficient space and break check them, you're going to be at fault. Yeah.
Speaker 6: I'm not wanting to break check personally. I have been break checked a couple of times and it's annoying because, you know, I'm still, you know, a couple of seconds behind them, but now it's totally different.
Speaker 2: If you just tap it long enough that they get a little red flash to say, Hey, you're following me a little too close or whatnot. And it's another to stand on your break so hard that it whiplashes the kids right out of their car seats. Right.
Speaker 1: And who has the time to deal with the aftermath of break checking somebody dealing with an accident, got to deal with you guys, Lieutenant Crane. That's the worst part, right? That's the worst part of it. You know, even if you're like, the other guys at fault, you still got to sit there, deal with the investigation. Get your car repaired.
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you what's going to happen there is we're going to do a crash report. The insurances are going to get it. Then they're going to divide copability out and they're going to say, Oh, no, no, no, wait a minute. And then you may be 50% responsible for your repairs anyway. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Cause like you break checked them. Yeah. I don't know if you've heard this, but insurance companies don't like to pay out. And then they check that box.
Speaker 2: It said, Dummy. You break checked them. Dummy.
Speaker 6: So yeah, they're required to have insurance anyways.
Speaker 2: Unfortunately. Yeah. Anytime you're operating a motorized vehicle on the open roadway to the public, you got to have insurance.
Speaker 6: I don't want to pay for all that. I don't want to anymore.
Speaker 1: Well, I don't think anybody does, especially with the way rates have been going up in recent years. John, are you out of state because you got a warrant?
Speaker 6: No, I'm going to a wedding. Going.
Speaker 2: Well, that's better than a divorce.
Speaker 5: Maybe. I'm too young for that.
Speaker 1: Well, John, I hope you enjoy your, uh, your wedding this weekend and, uh, yeah, don't break check anybody.
Speaker 6: I'll try. I'll try really, really hard. Right, man. Have a good one. Yeah. Thank you. Bye. Bye.
Speaker 1: 208-535-1015, the number to call for traffic school powered by the advocates.
Speaker 2: My oldest boy ever since he was in his car seat. He thought the only purpose for a horn in a car was to let people know how disappointed you were in their driving abilities. That's what I thought it was for too. Mom, honk the horn. Honk the horn, mom.
Speaker 1: Wasn't there a law in the books that said like anytime you change lanes, you're supposed to honk your horn. It was pass.
Speaker 2: Anytime you're going to pass another vehicle, you're supposed to honk your horn. Give them four warning in that pass. Yeah. Is it still on the books? I'd have to look. I haven't looked for that for a couple of years, but it's been there forever. Oh, something silly, love. How many honks you hear today?
Speaker 1: It would be horrible driving down sunny side after work. I'd be infuriated. Shot off. Stop it. I am talking to you. Great check. Great check. I-15 on a busy day, just relentless honking everywhere. So I guess if you're driving in the left lane on I-15, you can just honk. Hold it. All you want. That's great. All right. Let's go to the phones here.
Kay, Bear, you're live on traffic school powered by the advocates. Who's this? It's John. Again. John again. Was this the same John or just John again? It's just John again. All right. What up? New John.
Speaker 5: Hey, I'm curious about if there is a law on the books about how long a train can block intersection like it happens to three a lot. And sometimes I'm waiting 35 minutes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was going to say there doesn't appear to be a law on it. You may want to change your lifestyle. Nothing like that intersection of what is it? I don't know. Just down toward the freeway when you're on Lincoln.
Speaker 2: Oh, you know what? I've heard that the linear railroad tracks.
Speaker 5: That is the one. And I just decided I'll have to move as opposed to wait. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Anytime I hit a train there, I just flip a U.E. and leave. I've learned not to wait at that one.
Speaker 5: They put up concrete delineators now so you can't do that. But I thought I thought there was a 15 minute rule.
Speaker 1: We got crane on the research machine over here looking it up here. Cause yeah, that I appreciate that particular spot is so aggravating. And I didn't notice the concrete dividers because yeah, now if I can avoid going that direction at all just in case there's a train, take any other possible.
Speaker 5: They just put them in about a month and a half ago and they really made some of the businesses bad because they drive big trucks and can't get out.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. So what we'd like to do, you know, we do operational and lifesaver and trooper on a train and do those things. But in Idaho, they do have a hope that they don't block that for more than 15 minutes.
Speaker 5: They have a hope. That's weird because we have a hope to.
Speaker 1: Well, and I lost all hope. Like I said, I just don't go that way. If I see a train, I'm out. No way. I don't.
Speaker 5: Yep. That's a good call.
Speaker 1: Oh, you made me very disappointed with this concrete divider thing. Yeah.
Speaker 5: It's for people that are doing new turns.
Speaker 1: Why let people get out of there? I need to talk to the transportation. Yeah. Department, Lieutenant Crane or the city.
Speaker 5: I'm very disappointed because there's no traffic coming the opposite direction because there's a train there.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So you could you can always make a U turn there. Yeah. It's ridiculous.
Speaker 5: All right. Well, I'll just keep my hopes up and I appreciate you.
Speaker 1: Hey, thanks, John. You have a good one, man. You too. See you. See you. Okay, bear you live on traffic school powered by the advocates. Who's this? This is Pete. Pete was up, man.
Speaker 4: Well, it's not pertaining to anything traffic related, but I figure Mr. Crane there would be the best candidate to ask. You were saying you think about what was it? What'd you say? 35% of the population is stupid, Victor.
Speaker 2: I'm the best guy.
Speaker 1: Now, I think I said 3% based on the fact that 3% of people said they could fight a grizzly bear. But actually, if I really thought about it, I would say about 35% of the population is kind of stupid.
Speaker 4: Okay. So I strongly disagree. I'm going to say closer to like 70, but I wanted to know what Lieutenant Crane thinks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you deal with the public on a daily basis. What's your percentage on stupid?
Speaker 2: I'll tell you, I was in a talk with a guy that owns several businesses here in Idaho Falls one day and we're talking about employment and trying to get people to work, right? And he says, let's just admit it. There's 10% that are just not employable. Okay. There you go. 10%.
Speaker 4: 10% okay. Well, that's that's a lot lower than I was anticipating, but that's fair.
Speaker 2: Some do it just like I tell my wife, she's like, why did they do that? I'm like, just to tick you off pretty much. That's why they put onions on your burger when you requested no onions. The cook was in the back just going, I'm going to just tick that lady off.
Speaker 4: All right, gentlemen, will you have a good day?
Speaker 1: Hey, you too. Appreciate the call. All right. Peace. 208-535-1015, the number to call for traffic school powered by the advocates. Lieutenant Crane just left the room, so I'm assuming it's an emergency.
All right. Rusty online said, maybe go over how to use an on ramp. People are clueless here. And Rusty, we've gone over this many times, so I think I could go over that. Okay. Lieutenant Crane's back. Lieutenant Crane, we've talked many times about how to properly use an on ramp, but we could go over it one more time while we wait for a caller. Pretty simple, right? If you are the person on the on ramp, pretty tough to learn. Well, based on some of the things I've seen. Yes. If you're the person on the on ramp, you're responsible to merge on the roadway.
Speaker 2: And I love the difference between being in a marked patrol unit and being in my personal vehicle on how that works. Cause when I'm in my marked unit, most people realize what the rule is, right? But in my, my personal vehicle, they'll ram you around the road.
Speaker 1: Now, if you have the opportunity, I'd say if you're on like a freeway or something and you can move over courtesy, it's the plight thing to do. But if things are packed, it's, it's not your problem. It's the person on the on ramp. Yeah.
Speaker 2: And know this when you're coming on a highway or interstate from an on ramp, your car still has an accelerator and a brake. It has both steel and you can use them. You can use them. What? Yeah. I'm not kidding. You can like, speed up a little bit, break a little bit and get into traffic safely.
Speaker 1: I'm glad I learned something new for the new year. This is fantastic. All right. So, you know, we're traffic school powered by the advocates. I even ran out of stupid questions on my end because
Speaker 2: you don't, you always have something stupid. Okay.
Speaker 1: I do have one more stupid one. You know, if, if you were drunk at the bar and you had a sleigh being pulled by reindeer, you know, you get to be able to get away with avoiding the DUI.
Speaker 2: I think that's the only job in the world that they allow that gentleman to drink and drive so he can get his work done. Can you imagine doing that? Not being under the influence. You'd go stir crazy by the end of the night.
Speaker 1: Oh, absolutely. And you know, you can only drink so much milk. You call over the place. You ever seen somebody drink a gallon of milk really fast? That's vomit. You know, you got to give, give Santa a beer every once in a while. Well, you know, if we don't get any calls in the next couple seconds, I like to set him running out of dumb questions. So, I guess we did start early.
Speaker 2: So, you know, and great because we started with crazy J and how, I mean, that's the best way to start a new year.
Speaker 1: Absolutely. You know, thank you again to crazy J for Colin and, uh, and just being him, just being him. Were there any new laws that went into place at the beginning of the year? No, we started our new laws July 1st. July 1st. Are there any stupid new laws or legislators are looking at? You know, like, we just to dick you off. Yeah. Like, you know, banning truck nuts or, you know, any other wacky things they're looking at doing that you're aware of. I haven't seen anything pop up recently.
Speaker 2: No, but I did get contacted by many legislators and what they asked me to do is keep track of what offends you. Oh, good. And then let them know. Okay.
Speaker 1: Cause I'm the voice of the people.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm the voice of the people. And they want to make sure they get you stirred right now.
Speaker 1: All right. Well, they did a great job last year with all of the stupid new laws they were passing. I mean, hopefully at this point they've run out of stupid ideas.
Speaker 2: I don't want you to be a mayor. I want you to be a legislator. So that when you go over there, it can just be chaos. Oh, you're right.
Speaker 1: I do need to fool people and you just go, are you kidding me? Well, based on the amount of frustration I've seen toward our state legislators, I might have a shot. I might have a shot in the up between you and your three friends. Seems like people that they're ready to try anything new.
Speaker 2: It's gonna take more than four votes to get you in there.
Speaker 1: I'd be the guy showing up just dressed like this. Like, why are you guys wearing those stupid soaps?
Speaker 2: Hey, now wait a minute. There's somebody that Fetterman. He wears a sweatshirt.
Speaker 1: I know he ripped off my look. He's got the shaved head, goatee and a hoodie. You know, it's like, don't, don't steal my look, bro. All right. I started that. I've been looking like this forever and he got voted in. Yeah. So I think I could definitely do it.
Speaker 2: And he kind of walks down the middle. Sometimes his party's mad at him. Sometimes the other party's mad at him and he just walks right down the middle.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he definitely don't seem to give a crap no more. I want to give my thoughts on Fetterman in current age. Well, I guess all right, everybody, we're going to go ahead and we'll just take an early break on traffic school today. Matt, it's been good to see you though. You too. And tell the family hello. Make sure to catch the crane family on family feud. That's on the 27th and 28th on some channel at maybe four o'clock.
Speaker 2: We'll narrow that down.
Speaker 1: Yeah. We got time to figure that out. So yeah, you have a great weekend. Everybody travel safe. It was a little slushy on my way here.
Speaker 2: So yeah, like I say, ladies and gentlemen, if you're traveling today, you're going to go up in elevation. Please put some extended time in your travels. Increase your following distance and make sure your car is ready and prepared for winter driving. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Did they get the pass open back up
Speaker 2: from the landslide or not the landslide, but the snow avalanche a while back? Yeah, it's open. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: That's got to be a fun job to deliberately trigger an avalanche. And then you're like, hey, I think that's coming towards us. Just ruining people's day. All right, road closed. Everybody take the long way.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they had no idea it was going to be that big.
Speaker 1: I had driven on that road like a week before that and I was like, man, I am so glad that I didn't have to get all pissed that the road was closed.
Speaker 2: I brought up the photo and my son was a Pyrrhonore on my shoulder and had the loader in the mountain. If you've seen that photo and he just without hesitation says, I think they need a bigger loader.
Speaker 1: So be safe everybody this weekend as you continue your New Year's celebrations. I'm guessing that's what we got going on here. A lot of people with a day off today.
Speaker 2: Ready to party tonight.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's nobody here. So make it right here. Just peaches and me.
Speaker 2: So if you don't get any better than that. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, except if there was no peaches called that's called quality time.
Speaker 2: Oh, is this father sometime for you to
Speaker 1: kind of anytime it's just mean peaches. It's listen, listen. How many times I got to tell you, son? All right, everybody. We'll be back with more tunes and all that stuff and thank you again, Lieutenant Crane.
