Traffic School

This episode detonates immediately with Viktor Wilt dragging unsuspecting humans Ben and Damian from The Advocates Injury Attorneys onto the air like sacrificial offerings to the Radio Gods, before anyone’s caffeine has even legally entered their bloodstream. Within seconds, we spiral into a fever dream involving tarantula diplomacy, gas prices that feel like a personal attack from the universe, and a looming threat: Lieutenant Crain silently stalking the studio like a well-dressed cryptid waiting to drop legal knowledge bombs. The conversation pinballs between semi-trucks going 80 mph (because apparently we needed FAST BIGGER PROBLEMS), sticker-based political vandalism, and a caller named Ravonda who attempts to turn the show into a 9AM bar crawl speedrun any% glitch category.

Then “Traffic School” officially begins, which is less “school” and more “Mad Max but with legal disclaimers,” as callers unleash increasingly cursed scenarios: underage weed + firearm combos, barefoot driving myths, go-karts committing crimes against infrastructure, and a man named Crazy Carl treating Costco parking lots like a tactical war maneuver to outsmart traffic lights (he cannot, legally, but spiritually he already has).  The universe peaks when deep philosophical questions emerge like “why can cars have profanity but not truck nuts?”—a sentence that feels illegal to even type—followed by existential dread over school buses being raw-dogged by physics with no seatbelts while society just shrugs.

Meanwhile, every caller is either confessing a crime, planning one, or accidentally inventing a new one mid-sentence. The hosts oscillate between helpful legal advice and absolute gremlin energy, culminating in a chaotic lottery where a random caller wins $250 simply for surviving long enough on hold during this audio hurricane. The episode ends abruptly, like a fever dream cut short, with everyone vaguely more informed but significantly more unhinged, as if knowledge itself has consequences.

What is Traffic School?

Alright,

Speaker 1: got some homies in the house with me, Ben and Damian from the Advocates Injury Attorneys. It's going up, fellas.

Speaker 2: I've been here like two seconds and you throw me on the air.

Speaker 1: Yeah, immediately. I'm not ready. I'm not prepared. I just got out of bed. Hey, you know, I like to keep you guys on your toes. You know, it's kind of like my first break of the day when I walk in. Just rush and jump on air.

Speaker 2: Well, good to be here though, Victor. Good to see you. It's been a minute.

Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it has. How have the...

Speaker 2: Well, I guess you did swing by the other day, didn't you?

Speaker 1: Well, you know, Becca had to see your spider collection. Yep. She, you know, enjoyed that. I think she did. She did. You were trying to get her to hold the one. I don't remember what kind of tarantula that one was, but you're like, oh, that one's friendly. It looks scary to me. Oh, they all look scary. So what's new in the world of the Advocates injury attorneys?

Speaker 2: Just charging on, man. It's been real busy. So yeah, so doing what we do.

Speaker 1: Did the lack of winter lead to more accidents or was it a little bit tamer than usual?

Speaker 2: You know, that's a good question. Things really haven't slowed down. I think there's still plenty of crashes out there, plenty of people not paying attention to their driving and that leads to phone calls to us.

Speaker 1: Yep. If you were injured in an accident, we've been saying it for years. You got to call these guys at the Advocates injury attorneys. They're the best.

Speaker 2: 24 hours a day. You know, if the roads aren't slick, people aren't slowing down. I mean, it just causes more violent crashes when people are driving a lot faster.

Speaker 1: So the injuries tend to be a little bit more extensive. Unfortunately. And well, we've got Lieutenant Crane hopefully coming in here in about 10 minutes or so. We'll do traffic school powered by the Advocates and you guys brought a gift for the listeners. Always. Always. $250 Visa gift card that we're going to give away at some point during the show. I haven't figured out how we're going to do it yet, but we still don't have caller ID. So we're getting some new gear. Oh my gosh.

Speaker 2: You know, I never know what to bring in though. I'm like, you can't go wrong with a Visa gift card though. People can get what they want. Oh, totally. Yeah. I'm open. I'm always open to ideas. We can start bringing in other stuff.

Speaker 1: I mean, you can't really beat money. You know, especially in this day and age, you know, that's like one tank of gas right there. So, yeah, it's helpful.

Speaker 2: Yeah. These gas prices, my goodness.

Speaker 1: Yeah, it's crazy. It's it's just not so.

Speaker 2: Unfortunately, if you win a $250 gift card that it's got to go to gas.

Speaker 1: You know, anything you can do to get by is Crane just staring.

Speaker 2: You see that guy? He looks sharp today. Wow.

Speaker 1: What's he all dressed up for? Fine. Just walk on by, buddy.

Speaker 3: We don't want you to come in anyway. All right. Is he coming back? I don't know what he's doing. Well, we could.

Speaker 2: He's just like, what's he doing?

Speaker 1: Who knows? He's a weirdo. You know, he's a strange guy. So I guess we'll play a couple more songs and we'll see if we can get them in here to YAP with us. We'll be back again sometime in the next, you know, out. We'll be back in about an hour. Look at him.

Speaker 2: Look at him. What are you doing?

Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, come on in. You're you're certainly welcome.

Speaker 4: I wondered who took my parking place.

Speaker 1: Advocates. Swiping.

Speaker 2: That car's got the Boise plates on it. That's one of the company cars.

Speaker 1: Well, we've just been chatting about, you know, traffic collisions and things like that, that accidents during, you know, this time of year or probably a little bit worse because people are driving a little bit faster. You know, what's up with this new law that's going to be passed, Lieutenant Crane, where the, you know, semis can now drive 80.

Speaker 4: You just took my thunder. I thought that'd be a good topic of conversation today.

Speaker 2: We were talking about that on the way up here. That's something to talk about.

Speaker 1: Yeah. As if passing truckers wasn't annoying enough. Great. Thanks. Thanks, government.

Speaker 4: Well, the tough part of that is there's a lot of companies and that you can see diesel prices over $5 a gallon. They have their trucks governed at a certain speed for gas mileage, right?

Speaker 1: So it probably isn't actually going to lead to a lot of these 18-wheelers traveling at 80.

Speaker 4: There's going to be some, but you're also still going to have those that are set at 68, 70, 72 miles an hour for fuel consumption.

Speaker 1: So I'm surprised they ain't governing them lower now. Yeah. Five bucks a gallon. That's crazy. It's wild. Well, we already have a caller. I guess we could chat with them. I mean, it's a little early, but fine. K-Bear, you were live on traffic. Oh, how dare you hit him? Never happy. You don't call. Now you're calling a man. All right.

I guess we'll give him another shot. You're live on traffic school, powered by the advocates. Who's this? Hello? Is it? Oh, okay.

There we go. I just don't know how to operate my gear. I had to figure out how to get the four mic setup going on and it throws things off. Caller, are you there? Yeah. All right. Well, you don't need to yell at him.

Speaker 5: Is Ben still there?

Speaker 2: Ben's here. I'm right here. Now I'm nervous.

Speaker 6: I miss you, buddy. Oh, I know.

Speaker 2: I think I recognize this voice. You need to come over to my house.

Speaker 1: What? Ravonda. I'll be right over. Just going to tell Victor.

Speaker 6: How dare you? You need to come over and hang out with me.

Speaker 1: Ravonda, you go to work.

Speaker 6: Actually, I am right now. I'm going to the bar. So Ben, if you want to come hang out with me at the bar, I'll be at the alibi. There you go, Ben.

Speaker 2: I hear you guys make a mean, bloody merry over there.

Speaker 6: We really do. Nothing like it. We need to come.

Speaker 1: A 9 a.m.

Speaker 4: beverage. All I know is it's probably real blood of people that are slipping around other people's homes.

Speaker 6: We can like a drink and drive. We can go in my car and drink some beer.

Speaker 1: Ravonda, you're trouble. You're trouble. So you just get to work and behave yourself.

Speaker 6: I'll make you a real good drink.

Speaker 3: Whatever you want, Ben. I thought you finished that off that way.

Speaker 2: I know it's Friday, but it is a work day, Becca.

Speaker 2: Or Ravonda. Ravonda.

Speaker 6: I gave it away. I can't say that. Whoops.

Speaker 5: Whoops. Okay. Bye guys. See you.

Speaker 1: Ravonda all wound up today, I guess.

Speaker 4: Somebody's pretty cool when they come to town.

Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't hear that much excitement for when I'm coming home. Jay. All right. Well, we'll take our quick break. We'll come back and we'll officially kick off traffic school powered by the advocates. Get those questions ready, 208-535-1015. At some point today, we'll give away a $250 Visa gift card from the advocates.

Speaker 4: $250 gift cards for $200?

Speaker 1: $250. One single $250 gift card. We could give away $1 cards, right? 250 of them. That would take a long time. That's a lot of paperwork. 208-535-1015. The number to call for traffic school powered by the advocates. We got Lieutenant Crane in here. We got Ben and Damien from the advocates. At some point, we'll give away a $250 Visa gift card from the advocates.

Speaker 4: This reminds me of high school. I took Spanish class, right? I learned one thing through two semesters of Spanish. You know what that was? Ola? No, I didn't even get that one down. A stoiaquí, because I do a roll call. The teacher would do a roll call and he had to say, a stoiaquí. I am here.

Speaker 1: See, I never caught that one. I think I failed Spanish class. I might have just barely skirted by, but I didn't learn anything. It's kind of like a government class.

Speaker 4: I put as much effort into that as I did any of my other high school. That's why we make a good team.

Speaker 1: So again, listeners, 208-535-1015. The number to call for traffic school powered by the advocates. Let's see here. I had some online questions we could start with.

Speaker 2: How are we going to give that away today? We didn't talk about that.

Speaker 1: Yeah, we didn't really figure it out. I mean, maybe at the end of traffic school, we could just do random callers or something like that. I like doing it with a random person who participates, but Jade hasn't gotten us a new caller ID. So I can't secretly write down people's numbers while we're doing the show.

Speaker 4: State your name and number. We're going to share that.

Speaker 1: Yes, call and give us your phone number and all of your personal information live on air.

Speaker 4: You think you're getting spam callers now?

Speaker 1: Actually, hmm, we do have to end the show at a specific time today, Lieutenant Crane. That's a secret. And we could do whoever happens to be on the phone at that time.

Speaker 4: And you don't know, but it is kind of a short time.

Speaker 1: It's shorter than normal. Yeah, Lieutenant Crane's got to leave a little bit early because, oh, he's got it rough. Got to go down to Phoenix and just enjoy the weekend.

Speaker 4: Nothing but cowboy hats and sunshine.

Speaker 1: That's how I grow in Phoenix. Just a cowboy hat and sunshine. He headed to the Shangri-La, Lieutenant Crane. You guys have a great time down there. So 208-535-1015, the number to call. Can you even spell that? Can I spell what? How did you pronounce that? Shangri-La.

Speaker 4: Shangri-La. Shang...what? Shangri-La.

Speaker 1: Shangri-La. Yeah. I'm sure I can spell.

Speaker 4: Like the color green? Shangri-La. No, Shangri-La.

Speaker 1: Now you're getting me confused on what the name of it is. Just Google auto correct it.

Speaker 9: Just take your clothes off and get there. That's right. You can't make it. All right.

Speaker 1: So, Peaches is having some stickers made that you might have seen some of these stickers. They made them for Biden. They've been making them for Trump. Where they're pointing and it says, I did that. And people will stick them on gas pumps and things like that. So, is that vandalism to put those on gas pumps? It actually is.

Speaker 4: Yeah. You don't own it. But is it funny? Absolutely.

Speaker 1: All right. So yeah, he used AI or something to make one of me doing that and was just going to start putting them in random places. But don't want to get him or listeners in trouble. Right. Yeah.

Speaker 4: Can you imagine being that poor kid that's out there making minimum wage? Have to scrape those off the pumps.

Speaker 1: They should just leave them. Yeah. Why not? You know, they're funny. The best one I saw I posted on Facebook. It was a Creed singer and Creed has a song called with arms wide open. So he's got his arms wide open.

That makes sense. And then there's another song, Can You Take Me Higher? And that's what it, you know, the caption was.

So that people were sticking that on gas pumps. Can you take me higher? I thought it was really funny, but didn't get quite the reaction. I was hoping for on Facebook. Gas price is not a popular topic, I guess.

Speaker 4: No, no, I think everybody's ready for this incident to be over and gas prices to go down.

Speaker 1: 208-535-1015 is the number to call for traffic school powered by the advocates, everybody. Call with your questions.

Speaker 4: Come on now. Is that ended right now? We would not have a winner.

Speaker 1: I know if it ended right now, 250 bucks going in my pocket. That's right. So Lieutenant Crane Jaw sent me a picture and he wants to know, what does this mean?

Speaker 4: Nobody from Illinois.

Speaker 1: Yeah, it looks like somebody just put the sign upside down, right?

Speaker 4: Yeah, is that, is that supposed to be, what state's that supposed to be?

Speaker 1: I would assume he took this around here. You know, you got a speed limit sign and then below it, it looks like somebody put a, like a truck with a, the red circle in line

Speaker 4: through a, Wow, that don't look like a truck. It's upside down.

Speaker 1: Oh, don't tip over.

Speaker 4: Don't tip over? Yeah. That's what I mean. Okay, don't tip over. Do 35. Keep it rubber side, rubber side down.

Speaker 1: Okay, there you go. All right, let's go to the phones here. K-Bear, you are live on traffic school powered by the advocates. Who's this? Good morning gentlemen. This is Pete. Pete, what's up man?

Speaker 10: Well, I know this guy and he is underage and he likes to smoke the devil's lettuce. He's 18.

Speaker 4: I'm glad he started out with, he's underage because at first I thought I'm getting, I'm getting thrown under the bus. That took a lot of pressure on me.

Speaker 10: And he is concealing a firearm in his vehicle. So if he gets pulled over and the officer smells the devil lettuce, is he subject to the search?

Speaker 4: The car is subject to search.

Speaker 10: And so if he is, if he is caught with a firearm being 18 years old, is that a no-no?

Speaker 4: So in Idaho we don't have a concealed weapons permit law and I think they just change that up. Let me look that up while we're talking here. But yeah, he would have some problems and not necessarily would he have problems just because he's got a firearm and marijuana at the same time, but he would have a problem with the marijuana for sure. Yeah. Yeah, because. Yeah, at the very least.

Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't remember what the exact deal was with the concealed carry. Wasn't it, you know, for a handgun, it's different. That's what I wanted to confirm. Yeah. I want to say I thought maybe, maybe it was 21 for a handgun. But yeah, rifle.

Speaker 10: I mean, you got to be 21 to buy one. So I just assumed that you had to be 21 to carry one. Yeah, that's a good question.

Speaker 4: It says Idaho, you must be at least 18 years old to carry a concealed weapon without a permit. Okay. It says individuals 18 to 20 can obtain a standard concealed weapons license CWL while their enhanced license requires being 21. And I thought they had just had changed that. That's why I didn't dare say, but that's what, and you can't go wrong if you'd search it, right? Yes.

Speaker 1: Now, what was it? I just totally had a brain fart. I was going to ask you something about handguns, but whatever. They're dangerous. Yeah. Yeah, that they can be. Oh, I was going to ask, you know, you said appropriately. Well, you certainly should. Yes. Now you mentioned these additional licenses you can get. What do those give you on top of the fact that? You don't need one in Idaho?

Speaker 4: You don't need one. Gives you an opportunity to carry in other states.

Speaker 1: Oh, okay. Okay. Gotcha. There you go, man. So Pete, I mean, your friend is okay.

Speaker 10: Yeah. Yeah. I'll be sure to let him know he's got to, he's got to put that MJ away. Yeah.

Speaker 1: Guns are fine. No, no plants. All right, fellas.

Speaker 10: Have a great weekend. You too, man. See you. We'll see it.

Speaker 4: Did you not go to school and learn that marijuana is a gateway drug?

Speaker 1: I saw that on the dare program. I did learn that in school.

Speaker 4: That's the only one you failed going to high school.

Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember when the dare program came to school, they brought in this big case that was like, you know, a display rack and they're like, here's all kinds of drugs and this is what they do to you.

And I don't know, it didn't seem like the greatest deterrent. This will make you feel good. Exactly. You guys might want to rework this program.

Kay, bear you live on traffic school powered by the advocates. Who's this? Hello? Oh, you're going to get hung up on. Bye bye. Okay, bear, you were live on traffic school powered by the advocates injury attorneys. Who's this? Scott. Scott, what's up, dude?

Speaker 7: So if I accidentally leave home without my driver's license. You're going down. Yeah. Felony. And I get pulled over for whatever reason. And I do not show my driver's license. What's the penalty for like not having my driver's license.

Speaker 4: So it can be an infraction. They can write you for an infraction, but the bottom line is we do have ways to check, but the law does state that you do have to have it on your personal driving vehicle. Right.

Speaker 1: So that's kind of going to be an officer discretion situation, I'd assume.

Speaker 4: Exactly. So do you pass the attitude test?

Speaker 11: Possibly. I can sometimes know, maybe sometimes yes.

Speaker 4: I would say this would be a good test if the if the contact starts out. You have nothing better to do. Am I your only quota?

Speaker 7: Am I just here to meet your quota?

Speaker 4: My standard answer to that is no victor is every time, every time.

Speaker 1: Well, good to hear from you, Scott. Hope you have a great weekend, man. Yeah.

Speaker 4: See you. The mayor needs a new pair of shoes.

Speaker 1: Okay, bear. You're live on traffic school powered by the advocates. Who's this? This is Mike. Mike, what's up dude?

Speaker 9: Oh, not much. Just living the dream. So my question, it's, it's a little sensitive for Victor, but his dreams of wind tunnel.

Speaker 4: Oh, right.

Speaker 1: He's trying to make me mad right out of the gate.

Speaker 9: Not mad. Just a question. So the other day I was following a vehicle that had obscenities in the back window. Oh, you get. I'm very offended. Why can we have that, but we can't have truck nuts?

Speaker 1: Great question, Lieutenant Crain. Why can you put expletives all over your vehicle, but not truck nuts?

Speaker 4: That is a great question. And I got to be honest with you. I see that that's legal, right? But I think back when I was getting some of the stuff I had on my pickup now, I look back, I look at it and I'm like, man, that wasn't real good, right?

Speaker 1: Oh, I've got some t-shirts at home that I used to wear out in public. I'm like, wow.

Speaker 4: I had some of those too. And then I got married and my wardrobe changed.

Speaker 1: I gave most of them to my kids so they could wear them in our state.

Speaker 4: So they can aggravate people. And nuisance like I was. But that's a great question. The answer to that is, is whoever you vote in to the legislature that goes over and makes our laws, which they're in the middle of doing right now, they're the ones that come up with the wording in those laws that state what we can and cannot have.

Speaker 1: Can you not give these guys any ideas? Caller?

Speaker 9: Hey, I'm just saying, it's a question that didn't make sense to me. So I thought, who better to ask than Viktor and Lieutenant Crain?

Speaker 4: Yeah. And here's one that really gets Viktor going. Why does he have to wear a seatbelt in his passenger car, but he could ride the school bus without one?

Speaker 1: Absolutely. I've got it all figured out. It all comes down to safety. If it's safety related and it could make things more harmful, they're like, yeah, let's do it. If it's anything else, yeah, let's go ahead and ban that. We love our children. Get on that bus. Get on that bus with that, you know, 18-wheeler, barreling at you at 80 miles an hour, no seat belt.

Speaker 4: And how many people we could find as those that have retired, don't want to do anything else.

Speaker 1: You don't have to wear a helmet. Are you a helmet fan? Well, they keep people alive. Right? I mean, I'm sure, you know,

Speaker 4: with your hair blowing in the breeze. If you're riding like a tricycle, do you think those kid needs a...

Speaker 1: Well, a tricycle is not going to fall over as easily, right? But they do.

Speaker 4: And if they do, what's the harm, right?

Speaker 1: Well, potential brain damage. I think you should wear a helmet if you ride a bicycle. Bicycles are very dangerous, very dangerous. So, well, appreciate the call, man. I hope you have a good weekend. You too, to the extent. Peace.

All right. We've still got the mysterious time at which whoever is on the phone with us will win a $250 Visa gift card from the Advocates Injury Attorney. So it's a good day to call in with your questions. If we don't get a winner, I don't know what we'll do and we'll figure it out. All right. Let's see what we've got for other listeners submitted questions online. Let's see here. Carl, crazy Carl, Lieutenant Crane wanted to know how much...

Speaker 4: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, we don't answer his...

Speaker 2: Why is he not calling in, I wonder? Where's Carl today?

Speaker 1: I bet we were a little early for him. He'll call. We know he doesn't run a computer. He's got a picture of his go-kart and he wanted to know what the fine would be and how many points on record for driving his go-kart on the streets. There's his little go-kart. It looks pretty fun. It's got a big engine on it for a go-kart, don't you think? What do you think, Lieutenant Crane?

Speaker 4: I say, I don't think he can run a computer and then I look at that and I can see that he's done some AI work to his little go-kart.

Speaker 1: Okay, okay. Because, yeah, that looks... That's pretty much all engine.

Speaker 4: Now, here he is.

Speaker 1: Okay, Bear, you're live on traffic school powered by the advocates. Who's this?

Speaker 12: Hello, how are you guys doing today?

Speaker 1: We're doing... We're Tyler. We're doing great. What's up? Tyler.

Speaker 4: Tyler, excuse me. Yeah, buddy. Hey, Tyler, I'm not doing so good. I'm with Victor. That's messed up. Yeah, no kidding, right?

Speaker 12: Hey, I was wanting to know how come city buses like to... Stop at bus stops? No, I know. I was wanting to know why they don't have seatbelts because that could cause an injury and I don't know why. I think that's actually against the law.

Speaker 1: Well, the government hates children. And poor people that ride the bus. Exactly. They don't like poor people or children and they want them to die. So, that's the answer.

Speaker 4: But Victor advocates for you to wear your helmet while you're on the bus. You should. You probably should. Please put your pedal bike helmet on.

Speaker 12: Well, it doesn't make sense because the driver only wears it but not the panties.

Speaker 4: And the thing is, if it goes down, you want to go down in your sleep just like the driver.

Speaker 1: So, yeah. Well, you guys have a good day. Hey, you two appreciate the call. Yep, no problem. See ya. Hey, Bear, you were live on traffic school powered by the advocates. Who's this? This is Colby. Colby, what's up, man?

Speaker 11: Yeah, I was wondering if port of entry personnel can pull you over for speed?

Speaker 4: No, but they can sure stop you if you're past the porter. They have a question on your vehicle, on your commercial vehicle.

Speaker 11: Oh, I mean, like if they're driving down the road and you pass them.

Speaker 4: Just in a passenger car? Yeah. No, but they can sure be a snitch.

Speaker 11: Okay, all right. Thank you, sir.

Speaker 4: He's like, I got one holding me up right now.

Speaker 1: Hey, Bear. You're live on traffic school powered by the advocates. Who's this?

Speaker 11: Party, party, party.

Speaker 1: There he is. There's crazy Carl.

Speaker 11: I had to get out of camera view from work, so thank you. He's in the closet. There's one spot in the back of the building where there's no cameras. Oh, man. So one of my favorite shortcuts, so I'm driving south on Highland.

Speaker 4: Oh, no, hold on, Carl. I got way too much to talk about to jump right into it. This picture you sent us, I'm glad you got a grandchild that can work the computer.

Speaker 11: No, that's funny. Hey, I was a wonderful thing in it.

Speaker 4: Yeah, especially for your grandkids to run it for you.

Speaker 11: Hey, my BCR is still blinking on 12, right? I think in BCR, that tells you how old I am.

Speaker 4: There's more things blinking for you.

Speaker 11: Oh, yeah. You want to talk about buffering, man.

Speaker 3: That's all day long. Oh, man. So yeah, turning left on Yellowstone from Highline as you're driving south, you're headed towards Costco. One of my favorite shortcuts, if that left-hand turn signal turns red and goes straight is green, I'll go through into the parking lot, flip around, and then take my right and go down Yellowstone. Flipping a U-turn in Costco. And people look at me all the time and they're like, why didn't I think of that? But is that legal?

Speaker 4: No, you can't use a private parking lot to disobey this traffic signal. Oh, that sucks. Yeah, it sure works good, though.

Speaker 11: I mean, I haven't been caught yet.

Speaker 4: That's the thing. It really is against the law unless you get told.

Speaker 1: So Crazy Carl barreling into the Costco parking lot.

Speaker 4: Oh, no, barreling through one commercial vehicle or community parking lot to get into Costco and then back out.

Speaker 1: Yes. He happens to mow into somebody. I'd assume they can call you guys the advocates injury attorneys. Sure. Sure. Give us a call.

Speaker 4: We represent everybody but Carl.

Speaker 11: Oh, man. So how much would the ticket be on that?

Speaker 2: Are you in that big of a hurry all the time, Carl? I'm old. I don't have a lot of time left and I got a lot of stuff to do. I got a hopped up pin on.

Speaker 4: I got places to be. So it would be an infraction, right? But what happens is not necessarily is illegal to cut through these parking lots. But most of them in a situation like that have a city ordinance and then they have a sign posted out front, not a thorough way through to the next road, right? Can't drive through for customer parking only and things like that. So it would be under a city ordinance for failure to obey the sign. Right.

Speaker 11: Okay. Okay. I mean, we used to do that on the cruise back in the 80s. I mean, we cut through, you know, oh, big old tires. Yeah. Oh, big old tires. Yeah. I mean, that was, that was the loop, you know, I mean, uh, well, we always, we always had cops hanging out there. I, you know, sometimes you're not doing burnouts in a common sense parking lot. They're okay with it.

Speaker 4: Nothing but mow to no women.

Speaker 11: And a lot of broken dreams. No, yeah.

Speaker 2: I remember getting all ready for the cruise tonight's the night.

Speaker 11: It's gonna happen.

Speaker 1: We're going to go find chicks, man. Nope. Never happened.

Speaker 11: Would you ever, would you ever a guest that went from that to social media sites?

Speaker 11: Oh, man. Oh, too funny. What?

Speaker 4: I just got on the couch and flip my finger.

Speaker 11: Oh, man. Well, I guess I better get back in camera view before they come looking for me.

Speaker 1: All right, Carl. Well, you have good weekend, man. You guys have great one. We'll see you soon. See you later, man. Bye. Hey, you're live on traffic school powered by the advocates. Who's this? It's Mitch. How are you? Mitch. Great. What's up?

Speaker 3: I just, I figured I'd call for two reasons and I, I, it was perfect, perfect. One, I was just wondering if the law is still a law or if it was just a false suit or whatever false tail. A suggestion. Driving, driving, driving barefoot.

Speaker 4: Okay, driving barefoot. So let me ask you this. When was it a law?

Speaker 3: I don't know. I, I, you know, mom, well, mom's wall. So last year, you have to have shoes on to drive that car. What did you do with it?

Speaker 4: The last thing she wants is your little piglets to get off. Cause then who's going to go wee, wee, wee all the way on.

Speaker 11: Yeah, that's always been a facade.

Speaker 3: Oh, wow. Yeah. I'm not taking my shoes off right now.

Speaker 4: What happens is the passengers aren't very happy.

Speaker 1: How long has it been since you showered? Put some soap on those.

Speaker 3: And also second thing is I thought that if I got in there right at nine o'clock, that that might have been the magic number.

Speaker 1: Nope, not the magic number, but it's going to happen at some point. Pull away from that. All right.

Speaker 3: Thanks, man. Have a good one. That pump that's got Victor sticker on it.

Speaker 4: I did that. Okay, Mayor, you're live on traffic school powered by the advocates. Who's this? Chelsea. Chelsea. What's up?

Speaker 13: Oh good. You can hear me this time. Yes. Okay. So I was reminded of an incident when you and peaches were talking about lock and doors and stuff. Like a couple of days ago. I used to be a huge like lever and lock doors, broken windows, right? So I never locked my doors because, you know, paying for a broken window would be a lot more money. Well, one day our apartment complex got hit by a bunch of people and they broke into a lot of cars and they stole things. Fortunately, they didn't steal my CDs, but they did steal my phone charger, which I got from a dollar store.

So good on them. I don't know. But the detective was there and he was talking to everybody and I thought, you know, hey, I'll let him know that my car was also broken into, you know, and his first question out of his mouth was, was your car locked? And I was like, no, I mean, like, well, then it wasn't broken into.

Speaker 4: Still a burglary because he entered it with the intent to take something. Yeah. So like, what do you do in a situation where the officer has no intention of being helpful?

Speaker 4: Oh, you just get ticked off.

Speaker 1: I was going to say, was this in Blackfoot? If you're old enough, you can commit any kind of crime imaginable.

Speaker 4: I don't advocate what Victor just said, but

Speaker 1: that's just what a caller told us that a Blackfoot police officer told him.

Speaker 4: Yeah, he's all right. That's right.

Speaker 1: Yeah, he's all right. He's all right. We can't do anything about it. He's got the right of passage. There was a, and you don't think I watch movies. I'm going to prove you wrong right here. There was no movie called Fun Farm, I think, it was the name of it. And the sheriff had his driver's license suspended, but he goes out to Chevy Chase's place and he's complaining about the mailman because he's drinking and driving, right? And, or running over his mailbox and not delivering the mail properly. And when he gets there, he makes his complaint to the sheriff. The sheriff's like, yeah, yeah, he's out here. By the time he gets out here, he's pretty well liquored up. Well, as far as if you're having difficulty with getting help from an officer, I'd assume you could call the office and ask for a supervisor.

Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly right. But the bottom line is if you have items taken out of your car, it's still reportable. Now, a lot of them are self-generated reports, uh, unautomated. So what you would do nowadays, call in and, and fill out your own report and turn it into your insurance. So, and then what it does is give the, the agency a record of what happened, where it was, and it goes into a database and kicks it out to him or they've got their problems. And then if somebody's arrested, they can come back and, and work on what was stolen out of your car. Oh, okay.

Speaker 13: All right. Well, fortunately, it was just dollar store chargers. So my CDs were safe. Sure.

Speaker 4: Hate to go down for a felony for the intent to enter a vehicle to steal something from one buck.

Speaker 1: They'll appreciate the call today and hope the rest of the day goes great.

Speaker 4: The best part about that would be if they returned it with a note that says this sucks. Here's two dollars. You're getting to a better one.

Speaker 13: You're getting to a better one. I lock my doors now just so I can have, you know, like, yes, they did break into my car, you know, but yeah, it just kind of sucks that it had to happen the way.

Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. Call the supervisor. That's what I always do. Let me talk to your manager.

Speaker 13: Go Karen mode. Yes. Bring out my inner Karen. She doesn't come out much.

Speaker 1: Well, good to hear from you and have an awesome weekend. Thanks.

Speaker 12: You too. Bye.

Speaker 1: Okay, bear. You're live on traffic school powered by the advocates. Who's this?

Speaker 5: It's Natasha and Larry.

Speaker 1: Natasha and Larry. All right. Oh, well, what's happening?

Speaker 5: So we've been arguing for a while.

Speaker 4: Hold on real quick. We got to clarify something. You're not at the alibi area. Because if so, your, your others might hear it. Somebody might hear about it.

Speaker 5: Yeah. No, we're so we moved up to Pocatello a few weeks ago and on the end of second avenue, like over towards Albertson, the only way that you can go is right. And Larry keeps telling me that you don't have to use a blinker, but I say you do because it's still a stop sign that you come up to.

Speaker 4: So yeah, anytime you're changing direction by code, it requires you to use your signal light to indicate your intent. So yeah, got to use that signal because you're coming off one road onto another. Now, if it was just a big windy road that didn't have a stop sign or anything and you just kept curving, you wouldn't need to make that signal, but to pull up and do that.

Yeah. Technically, you could be held accountable for not signaling. Are you going to be written that citation at that point? Only if you don't pass that attitude test or talk about her here.

Speaker 7: I wouldn't.

Speaker 4: Larry, what are you over?

Speaker 1: Maybe we don't want to know what the bet was. You guys keep that between yourselves.

Speaker 3: I say he knows my $50.

Speaker 1: All right. 50 big ones. Well, appreciate the call and have a good weekend. You too. Thank you. See you guys. Kaye Bear, you're live on traffic school powered by the advocates. Who's this? This is Kyle. Kyle, I got some good news for you.

Oh, yeah? You have won a $250 Visa gift card from the advocacy injury attorneys. Awesome. So, Lieutenant Crane's got to go. I'll answer your question, Kyle. Yeah. So make it snappy.

Speaker 8: It's a real quick one. Railroad crossings with red lights, but no cross arms. If they're flashing and the train's rolling in, but it's going slow, can you proceed with caution or you have to stop like a regular red light?

Speaker 4: So, if they're within 300 feet of the railroad crossing, you have to stop and stay parked until they clear the intersection. If they're flashing and it's down there and it's not moving or anything, you can stop and then proceed with caution.

Speaker 1: Okay. All right, man. Well, hey, hang on the line so I can get your information. And everybody else. Good to see you. You know, had to cut things short today, but we'll return with more traffic school next Friday morning, 8.45 AM. Traffic school is a production of Riverbend Media Group.
