August 21st, 2026 - Police Grapplers, Flock Socks And The Death Of Common Sense

This week's Traffic School begins with Lieutenant Crane casually revealing that his teenage years apparently consisted of repeatedly being kicked out of school and then eventually returning to that exact same campus wearing a police uniform, which is perhaps the funniest possible way to demonstrate that life has an extremely specific sense of humor. The discussion quickly establishes that Crane was apparently enough of a menace as a teenager to get himself trespassed from his own high school, only to later show up there as a lawman to handle an actual call. Somehow, this becomes a recruitment pitch for anyone who has ever thought, “There is absolutely no way they would let someone like me become a cop.” Crane insists they might, while Viktor immediately begins investigating whether his own questionable history would disqualify him. Apparently the only thing standing between Viktor and a career in law enforcement is physical fitness, which is devastating news for everyone involved.

Then the show immediately plunges into the bizarre world of Flock cameras and the apparently heroic Flock Sock, a 3D-printable little garment designed to cover a Flock camera from “the elements.” The question becomes whether putting a removable sock over a police camera is actually illegal, because apparently we have reached the point in civilization where people are using sticks to dress surveillance cameras. Crane explains that simply touching the device may not necessarily constitute a crime if no damage is caused, but spray-painting or permanently damaging it would obviously be another story. Before the legal analysis can become remotely normal, Crazy Carl calls, immediately derailing the show into discussions about sponsorships, radio station phone systems, and the possibility of renaming the entire studio after “Doofus Plus.” The segment eventually becomes an extended fever dream about Carl's caller antics, police employment, old cars, and whether a person with misdemeanors can become a cop.

The automotive portion gets progressively more ridiculous when Carl asks about his friend's nearly completed 1965 Thunderbird, which apparently still needs a driver's seat repaired and a windshield installed. The shocking discovery is that the vehicle can technically still be driven without the windshield, provided other requirements are met, including windshield wipers. This produces one of those uniquely Idaho moments where everyone pauses to consider the magnificent legal logic of having windshield wipers for a windshield that isn't currently there. The conversation then spirals into engine swaps, enormous horsepower, superchargers, blowers, and the timeless question of exactly how much horsepower you can legally cram into a street car. Crane's answer is essentially that horsepower itself isn't the problem; how you operate the vehicle is. In other words, Idaho apparently isn't particularly concerned if your car has enough horsepower to launch itself into another dimension, provided you aren't driving like an absolute lunatic.

Viktor then announces that he is heading to Park City for a concert, which creates an entirely separate subplot involving mountain elevation, illness, cowboys, country music, and the possibility that Viktor may simply perish at approximately 7,000 feet. Crane's prediction is that Viktor probably won't die from being sick, but may instead die because of something he says to somebody. This is followed by discussion of the upcoming basketball game, which nobody involved seems remotely enthusiastic about because apparently running back and forth on a basketball court is considered an unacceptable burden.

The show then dives into one of the coolest pieces of police equipment discussed all morning: the Grappler, a device that can be mounted to police vehicles and deployed to hook onto the rear of a fleeing vehicle and bring it to a stop. Viktor thinks it looks awesome. Crane agrees that police would love to have them. The problem is money. Idaho agencies can't necessarily afford to put one on every patrol car, and having one Grappler-equipped vehicle sitting somewhere across the state doesn't help much when an emergency happens hundreds of miles away. The discussion somehow evolves into imagining an officer getting a call to hurry across Idaho because he is the one guy assigned the magical car-chasing fishing hook.

Then Steve O. from Mudvayne calls with a deceptively simple question: Are U-turns legal at red lights? Crane explains the circumstances under which U-turns can be made, including the importance of the signal, traffic conditions, and posted signs prohibiting U-turns. Naturally, the segment concludes with everyone making jokes about how long they have been staring at each other's faces in the studio and Viktor revealing that he has apparently developed a stopwatch specifically for determining when Lieutenant Crane has overstayed his welcome.

Next comes the Bonneville Metropolitan Planning Organization transportation feedback map, which allows members of the public to identify transportation problems and road issues. Viktor discovers that the map appears to be absolutely covered in complaints, making it look less like a transportation planning tool and more like a digital autopsy of every road in East Idaho. The pair wonder how many complaints are legitimate and how many are trolls simply tagging everything they possibly can. The discussion includes potholes, railroad crossings, traffic lights, dangerous intersections, and the eternal dream of creating a map where people can complain about politicians instead of roads.

Then the episode takes a hard left turn into celebrity status, Joe Rogan, public figures, Tums, Kleenex, Zoom interviews, and the sacred tradition of doing questionable personal business while technically being on company time. Viktor proudly reveals that the studio now has an official bottle of WinCo-brand Tums because apparently gastrointestinal distress is such a routine part of the K-Bear experience that emergency antacid infrastructure has become necessary.

The callers return with another extremely modern legal question: Can you get in trouble if somebody is putting AI-generated stickers featuring your likeness all over town? The answer is delightfully simple: if you're not the person actually putting them up, you aren't the one committing the vandalism. This leads to an escalating discussion about stickers on gas pumps, fake “I Did That” stickers, shirts for Viktor's mother, Ouija boards, ghosts, and the shocking revelation that the caller's mother was apparently an angel while Viktor's family insists his own mother would never haunt anyone. The family pancake hierarchy somehow becomes part of the legal discussion, because Traffic School apparently has no remaining barriers between law enforcement education and generational pancake trauma.

The episode then takes a detour into Grand Theft Auto 6, with Viktor declaring that he needs at least four days off when the game comes out. The conversation covers leaked footage, the game's digital-only release, hackers, potential financial consequences, and the enormous question of what happens when somebody causes massive financial losses and ends up owing restitution they could never realistically repay. Crane explains that restitution can be paid incrementally, leading to the depressing mental image of somebody emerging from jail and paying their enormous debt five dollars at a time.

Chrissy, the American Falls lunch lady, then calls in with questions about the new Idaho license plates and what law enforcement can actually see when a plate is scanned. Crane explains that the system can identify the registered owner and provide information about whether the vehicle's insurance and registration are current, while it doesn't simply pull up all of the driver's personal information. This turns into an extended discussion about California transplants, cowboys in Idaho, bartending, husbands with long hair, country concerts, and Viktor's upcoming Park City adventure.

The final stretch tackles one of the biggest actual driving-safety issues of the episode: cell phones and distracted driving. A caller asks whether Idaho should have stricter enforcement against people using phones behind the wheel. Crane says enforcement already happens regularly, but officers continue finding enormous numbers of drivers doing it. The caller proposes technology that would essentially lock your phone until you turn off your vehicle, which produces the inevitable question of what happens during an emergency. The discussion ultimately circles back to the 100 deadliest days of driving, emphasizing that distracted driving remains a serious danger on Idaho roads.

Finally, Peaches asks a surprisingly complicated question about whether a radio station can play a song if another station has announced an upcoming “premiere,” even though the song is already publicly available. The conversation moves into record labels, SiriusXM Octane, radio premieres, release timing, and whether playing an already-released song could create a legal problem or merely irritate the record label. The show wraps up with another question about the Grappler, more complaints about government spending, jokes about taxpayer money, and the revelation that Lieutenant Crane is apparently selling off so many possessions that his home is becoming an eerily minimalist real-estate listing. The episode ends exactly where it belongs: with an intentionally disgusting sardine can left in the trash overnight specifically so Viktor would walk into the studio the next morning and wonder why the entire room smelled like wet cat food. Traffic School: where Idaho traffic law, police equipment, classic cars, surveillance cameras, GTA 6, U-turns, Tums, country concerts, AI vandalism, and fermented sardine juice somehow coexist in one radio segment.

Speaker 1: They're a little man these days, won't they?

Speaker 2: What is happening? Lieutenant Crane. You know what? It's so funny to hear that because I'm thinking back 30, 38 years ago when I started this. That's exactly what I heard everywhere. went. This guy? This guy's your new officer. Are you kidding me?

Speaker 1: Well, good morning. How's Crane this week?

Speaker 2: Oh, good. I gotta go back to that just a little bit. My vice principal of the high school. They kicked me out, right? They said, you can't come back. You're trespassed.

Can't come back. The next time I uh appeared on their campus was in uniform to handle a call, and the vice principal lost his mind. I know I don't think people are aware what a troublemaker and what

Speaker 1: mischief you get up to, even at your current age.

Speaker 2: What I found is that vice principal did not have a sense of humor. A lot of them don't. I'd say, oh, that's not funny.

Speaker 1: But you know, you you dinging yourself up and getting hurt makes me feel better about when I do stupid things like fall down and bust up my wrist. I'm like, hey, you know, happens to everybody. Happens to everybody. I'm not that bad.

Come on. So, ladies and gentlemen, it is time for traffic school powered by the advocates injury attorneys. And if you have questions, you should call us after our quick break. 208-535-1015, gonna be the number to call.

There is a post online if you're afraid to call us. You can type your questions in there, but coward. Coward, weak! Don't be weak. You call us and talk to us. It's fun.

Speaker 2: Let's talk about your first statement about are you kidding me? He's a lawman. We're hiring right now, and if you think, man, I'd like to do that, but nobody would ever believe I could be a cop, right? Give us a chance. Let us look at you. We'll tell you if your background will let you be a cop or not. And uh love to see you come out and and go through the testing process.

Speaker 1: I'm sure you've looked at my record out of a few.

Speaker 2: Oh, I know exactly about you. Yeah.

Speaker 1: So am I eligible to be a police officer? You can do it. I could. Yeah. All right.

Speaker 2: Besides the talent of being an officer. Oh.

Speaker 1: Then you have the actual physical fitness test. That's where I'm gonna have problems. But I'm glad my record doesn't disqualify me. No, you'd be great. All right. Yeah, you made me feel pretty good about myself today. So we'll take our quick break, then we'll be back. And let's party, people. It's Friday. Let's do some traffic school. Lieutenant Crane is here, everybody, in the house.

Traffic school time. Powered by the advocates, injury attorneys. The number to call, 208-535-1015. Let me uh refresh my little post here and see if we've got any online questions. All right.

Speaker 2: This is not a good start.

Speaker 1: I already started laughing. Okay. I talked about these the other day on air, and we've talked a lot about you know flock cameras in the last couple of weeks. Oh, I've heard something about them. Yeah, people seem to be talking about them a lot. So somebody created, like you can, if you have a 3D printer, you can download and print out what they're calling a flock sock, and you just use a stick and it just slides over them, and they said we created them to keep them safe from the sunshine, the rain and the elements.

Speaker 2: Um is utilization of a flock sock for one illegal. You know what I'm thinking? It would be hard to charge anybody if they're not causing any damage to it. Exactly. How do you go? Uh you touched it.

Speaker 1: Yeah. I didn't know if it's illegal to monkey with them. They are private property, I'd assume. Yeah. But if you don't do anything other than now, if you're spray painting them or something.

Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, it's gonna cause permanent. Oh, how dare they? I thought we were getting started. Had to be crazy Carl hanging up on us.

Speaker 1: K-Bear, you're live on the show. Keep that in mind. Who's this?

Speaker 3: Man, you need to tell Jade he needs a springs for some caller idea. It would save you guys a lot of headaches, man.

Speaker 1: Oh, trust me. I'd like to have one so whenever people call and say something rude, I can just call them back. Be like, what's your problem?

Speaker 3: See? Yeah, right.

Speaker 2: Carl, I don't want you to give up who you work for, but did you know they can do like sponsorships and they can buy a new telephone system for the radio station? Yeah. And once in a while, they'd name your guys' business. Hey, we're answering the phone today for Doofus Plus.

Speaker 1: that's right. It's doofus plus it's the doofus plus hotline here on K-Bear. Call us 208-535-1015. We're broadcasting live from the Doofus Plus studio.

Speaker 2: That could be you, Carl.

Speaker 3: Oh, man.

Speaker 1: Any business listening. You want to be the K-bear, you know, the blah blah blah K-Bear 101 studio or hotline? Call the boss, man. Let's make it happen.

Speaker 3: You know what? You know what? I'm I'm gonna talk to Mike and see if we can make that happen. Heck yeah. So Crane, it sounds like you were uh quite the hooligan in school. I mean, what do you got kicked out? Maybe.

Speaker 2: Time return. two. Oh, that's again, you know.

Speaker 1: They'll let anyone be lawmen these days, won't they?

Speaker 2: And you know what's sad about that, Carl is my dad had the most stupid assignments when I'd be kicked out of school. I need you to do this. That makes no sense whatsoever. But it was work from like 6 a.m. till 7 p.m. every day. Oh, brutal.

Speaker 3: No doubt. No doubt. Hey, so uh what year is your wife's uh Thunderbird?

Speaker 2: Hey, I thought you were gonna ask me something else. Oh no, yeah. Jeez.

Speaker 3: No, hey, wait a minute.

Speaker 1: What kind of package does she go in? With all your reckless behavior. Yeah, you might have a bad accident one of these days, you keep it up.

Speaker 2: You might not you might not limp away from this one. Let her know. Crazy Carl. Wilt. Hey, I got a question for you, Carl. I'm gonna give you your answer, and then I'm gonna ask you a question.

And the answer is that 1965. Oh, nice. All right.

Now the question for you becomes this. We have got it almost completely done. Two things that we gotta finish. The driver's seat had an issue. We had to pull it back out, redo something on the driver's seat, and the windshield hasn't been put in yet. Is it still legal to drive?

Speaker 3: Uh I believe so. As long as you have mirrors.

Speaker 2: As long as you have one other item.

Speaker 3: Uh mirrors, well, you need to see, obviously. I mean, milk crate. I drive on milk crates all the time.

Speaker 2: All right. Drum roll. I know what it is. Uh Victor's gonna give it up. Windshield wipers.

Speaker 1: Yes, you have to have the wipers, even if you don't have a wind channel. Idaho Law at its most logical and finest.

Speaker 2: So it is legal to drive right now, but we're gonna wait until we get the driver's seat in it and the windshield in it.

Speaker 1: You don't like to cruise down the road and just get mowed down by bugs. Oh yeah.

Speaker 3: I know what's wrong with it. Ain't got no glass in it. So uh, you know, I I don't know if you're set on putting the crate engine in there, but uh, I know the Lincoln, uh the Ford Lincoln, they made a 490 engine. Uh pretty powerful. And I'm not I'm not suggesting that anybody should take advice from me because they're either getting either end up in the jail or the hospital, but you should you should try that 490. I don't know. You guys have a power plant in mind?

Speaker 2: This is a c this is a conversation I need to really talk to you about off air.

Speaker 3: So okay, yeah, yeah. Give me a couple of times. a call back. Did I give you Carl's number? No.

Speaker 1: Okay, he sent it to me. I'll send it. I'll send it. Send it again. I'll give it to him.

Speaker 2: And you want to work for me.

Speaker 1: Hey, I'm good in the moment. It's about that follow-up.

Speaker 2: Hey, on that robbery, where what'd you come up with? Oh, that one two weeks ago. Yeah, gosh, I'm gonna hit over there today.

Speaker 3: So on that note, uh, uh, does ISP can you work there if you have misdemeanors? I mean, yeah. Uh oh, nice. Yep. Yeah. I mean, could I could I be the vice cop, you know, roll around like uh, you know, Miami Vice, you know, roll around the Ferrari.

Speaker 2: We all want that job where we got a cool car, we don't ever go to the office, we go out and do bad Apple cop stuff all day and then just go home. We don't check in with anybody and we never write a report. Right.

Speaker 3: Exactly. Exactly. So uh back to the horsepower thing. Uh is there any is there a limit on how much horsepower you can have and still be street legal?

Speaker 2: No, the limit is on how do you drive it. Ooh, okay. Yep.

Speaker 3: That's good. Yeah, because I mean I I I see cars on the internet all the time, and they got these, you know, they got blowers and superchargers stacked four or five high. Yeah, one thing you can't do is block your view, right?

Speaker 2: You gotta have vision and uh and then drive within your means or safety. Yep. Yep.

Speaker 3: Yeah, right on, right on. Cool, cool. Well, sweet, y'all uh yell assembly number, man. Let's have a conversation afterwards.

Speaker 2: All right, sounds great. Appreciate you.

Speaker 3: All right, you guys have a good weekend, man. Safe travels, Victor. You too. Carl. Peace. All right, wait a minute.

Speaker 1: Sake travels, are you getting on an airplane? Uh I am going out of town. Oh, I'm gonna go to Park City, and I've never been there before. Can I left before the show. I should have. If I was a genius, yeah.

You know, I could have hit the road a long time ago and not had to deal with this crap. Are you going today? Uh yeah, after work and uh cruise up. There's a uh concert tomorrow that I'm taking back a two.

Um Ian Munzik, he's played here, country artist, she really likes. So it's like, well, I've never been to Park City. Let's go.

You'll love it. You know what's kind of crazy? The the prices of rooms in Park City was so much lower than like even Idaho Falls or like uh around my birthday, I was looking in West Yellowstone, I own park. I mean, I bet half the price for Park City, and you'd think it would be outrageous.

There's no snow there right now. Oh, yeah. That's why. So it should be pretty cool. Yeah, awesome for you. But I'm I'm feeling a little bit off today. You know, I today. A couple days ago, I had a little bit of a sore throat. That seemed to clear up today. Kind of feeling it a little in my chest, and it's pretty high elevation there. I think it's like 7,000 feet.

Speaker 2: Yep, that's why it's a ski resort.

Speaker 1: Yeah, do you think I'm gonna die?

Speaker 2: Not because of your illness, but probably from something you say to somebody.

Speaker 1: Is that a tough guy, Sam?

Speaker 2: Ask that question when you get there. Show me where the toughest cowboy bar is here. Yeah. Seems like it'd be like hanging out in uh Jackson or Sun Valley, probably fairly mellow, right? Yeah, it's gonna be fine. All right. Well, I'll I'll report back next week, let you know how it goes. But perfect.

This is gonna be awesome. All right, what else do we got on questions online since you people ain't calling? 208-535-1015, the number to call for traffic school powered by the advocates. Um Peaches says, tell Lieutenant Crane I saw some kids' basketball shoes on sale, so he should be well prepared for our basketball game.

Speaker 2: Yeah, tell him to keep talking.

Speaker 1: We just talked to the boss, and I said, Hey, are we gonna get that basketball game schedule? And you see not the look I got. Yeah.

Speaker 2: Oh hey, we want you to do a little fundraiser for us, but we don't want to play basketball against you. That's kind of what I got out of that. Yeah, well, I don't want to play.

Speaker 1: That involves running back and forth. Running back and forth is not fun to me.

Speaker 2: You need to wear a t-shirt that says my mom won't be happy with you.

Speaker 1: I know we've talked about this one before, but uh Andy was asking about the grappler. Oh, yeah. You got these hooked to the front of your your cop cars, or some agencies do.

Yep, yep. And I've seen video where they they you know are chasing somebody and they fire them out, hook them on the bumper, and they just pull them to a stop.

Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like fishing.

Speaker 1: Yeah, it looked fun. Oh, it'd be awesome, wouldn't it? Yeah. Now, this is the problem. You don't have them.

Speaker 2: One, we don't have them. Two, we really would want them. We'd love them, but third, the expense, right? We can't come up with the expense to and so we actually talked about hey, do we put one on one car in the district? Well, then what happens when you get in a pursuit and that guy's home in bed? You know, yeah. Hey, get up, yeah.

Speaker 1: Hurry!

Speaker 2: Hurry and get over here with the rampler. Have you ever got to try one out? I never have. I've watched the the promotional video on them, and they're amazing. I've watched them in action.

Uh different things of that nature. But the problem is if you don't have the money to put them on all cars, how do you get the car that's got it on it where you need it? You know, because we don't never know when we're gonna get it. And we're a pretty small state. Really?

Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, you got something going on in Court Elaine and it's sitting down here in East Idaho. All right, we'll get him in eight hours. Who'll be up there in 10 hours? Oh no, we're running code eight. All right, let's go ahead and go to the phones here. K-Bear, you were live on traffic school powered by the advocates. Who's this?

Speaker 3: Uh, this is Steve O' the Mudbane guy again. What's up, Steve O? How are you? Hmm, I've been better. Didn't you just hear him whining?

Speaker 1: Yeah. all of a sudden I got a headache? Uh anyway.

Speaker 3: High elevation, huh?

Speaker 1: Uh yeah, yeah, we're you know, at a pretty high elevation here as well.

Speaker 2: Or I walked in the studio 10 minutes ago.

Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been looking at his face for about 15 minutes. And I'm like, oh, that must hurt.

Speaker 3: Is it hurt both of you or just you?

Speaker 1: Oh, I'm sure it goes both ways. Absolutely.

Speaker 3: Um question. I don't know if it's been addressed or not, but uh I was wondering I live in Pocatello, and I've been noticing a lot of people making U-turns uh the red lights, like mainly on Yellowstone. Is that a legal thing to do to be able to just flip a UE like at the red light?

Speaker 2: Not at the red light when it turns green, and if it's a green arrow. So and and I guess even if it's a bobe, if they're just flipping the UI, there's no traffic in and it they don't impede the traffic coming the other way. Yeah, they can make that unless there's a sign up there, black and white that says no U-turn.

Speaker 3: Okay, so it is legal to do U-turns. I was just wondering about that. Yeah, I remember Yep. All right, well, thank you so much for answering my question. You all have a good day. Enjoy looking at each other's faces.

Speaker 1: Oh thankfully we're about halfway done.

Speaker 2: Why do you have a stopwatch you start every time I walk in? Oh, I know.

Speaker 1: I'm like, it's about time to kick them out.

Speaker 3: I gotta go. Got stuff to do.

Speaker 1: Well, appreciate it, man, and hope you have a great weekend. Rockin' Mud Vane.

Speaker 3: Go MudVane. Go, Mudvain. We all have a good day. Hey, you two man. Peace. Bye.

Speaker 1: Call us, people. 2085351015 for traffic school powered by the advocates. Um Justin and Peaches sent me this link. BMPO.org. They said it uh might be good for traffic school. It looks pretty much like a complaint form from Bonneville County or Bonneville Metropolitan Planning Organization where you share your transportation feedback with them.

And they've got this map that you just go in and I guess you tag problem areas and things like that. The whole thing's red, huh? Yes. I was gonna bring up the map so I could show you. Cause it was so funny. I'm like, all right, I guess they need to just tear the town down and start over again.

Where did that map go? Anyway, I was just wondering if you were familiar with this. And uh okay, there it is. Like look at the community info map. We have problems everywhere.

Speaker 2: That looks like a retired person's map of this is where I've been in the United States, and there's pins everywhere.

Speaker 1: Let's see, where's the um the police station? It's like right out here. I was gonna put a marker. There's always police out here. wonder Oh I just wonder how much goofy stuff has been put, you know. You got just trolls sitting around uh complaining all day on this website.

Speaker 2: Pin at the uh office and also at all the McDonald's. Hey, there's a there's cops here all the time.

Speaker 1: Exactly. You know, because like on your phone on the Google map, you can warn people that the cops are waiting. I love that. Speed trap ahead.

Speaker 2: I had a friend of mine giving a talk one time and he said, you know how that works? He goes, I'd encourage you all as drivers just to drive down the road and every two minutes punch that in so they think we are everywhere.

Speaker 1: Now, would that be against policy, or could you guys just do that if you chose to?

Speaker 2: Yeah, I nothing against policy say that, but he wasn't talking about he's talking about when you're traveling on your personal vacation, you're going through all these states. He's like, hey, punch that in. Let them think there's cops everywhere.

Speaker 1: I I was just figure while you're driving around in your patrol car. You could do just sit there.

Speaker 2: I was here. I was here.

Speaker 1: And then everybody's gonna behave themselves the entire drive.

Speaker 2: Wonder how long it takes for Google to get all of you.

Speaker 1: Can you stop? Can you stop already? We know that's a there's there's nobody out there near Malad. Okay, listen. We'll donate to your agency. Just stop. I wonder what type of comments are getting left on here. Uh, this person said we need improvements out on the Yellowstone Highway. They okay at this railroad crossing, the asphalt comes up making holes after you cross. This needs better attention.

All right. A lot of people at that uh particular area. Uh fastest route to the freeway. Wish we could put a light or something to make it safer. What kind of complaints do I have? You've listened to me for years.

Speaker 2: All kinds. Can we make one of these maps for uh you know the whole state, but it's for politicians. People get real mad sometimes when you leave an opinion on a politician on a uh news article. I couldn't believe it. Did you know if you're a celebrity, you are not allowed to uh have an opinion.

Any kind of opinion. And all I said was I don't like them. Hey, hold on just a second. You're considering yourself a celebrity? Yeah, you're big deal. According to them, you are a big deal.

Speaker 1: Yeah, according to them, yeah. Public figure. Keep your mouth shut. I'm like, okay, well, Joe Rogan, you know, he uh he got famous by feeding people bugs. Sure seems fine for him to babble endlessly about politics. At least I didn't get famous for feeding people animal guts and things like that. Come on.

Speaker 2: Hey, speaking of that, I think I know why you might have a headache. I'm I'm sitting here, we're doing this program. There's one liter of water. Yes. A Gatorade. This is gone. A half a cup of coffee. Yes, three different liquids, and then a bottle of Tums.

Speaker 1: Yes, uh, me and Peaches need tons. It's uh staple of the K Bear studio. Uh so Peaches bought that bottle as the official uh Winco brand, K Bear Tums that will reside in here for when our bellies hurt.

And I got the Kleenex. Don't forget about that. Yeah.

Yeah. So I'm I'm ready. I'm ready to clean as ever. I know, and I've got a Zoom interview coming up uh later on today. So it's gonna look great with this. I'll clean it up a little bit.

Speaker 2: But Jade uh encouraged you to do a zoom interview for a new job.

Speaker 1: Um he didn't encourage me, but nothing better than doing your new job interview at your current job. I think Brad Royal actually did that when he worked here. I think he did his job interview on the phone on the clock. What a piece of crap. That's like the people who poop on the company time.

Speaker 2: And I'm sure you check out a service for that.

Speaker 1: Oh clock on salary. Yeah. I'm I'm here as long as they force me to be. So yeah. Don't have to clock in and out for that. People, 208-535-1015 for traffic school powered by the advocates. I'm running out of stuff here.

All right. We talked about the BMPO.org where you can go complain about things wrong in Bonneville County on the roads. I'm sure you all would have lots of fun with that.

Uh try to keep you know, try to be serious about it, though. You know, I know our listeners would never just horse around on a website like that. Uh yeah, they had like 253 uh complaints already. That's what it said. ITD, you got some work.

Speaker 2: That's a problem with doing something like that. Is that you're not getting any positive feedback? It's all gonna be negative.

Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. And it's one of those things where you know that every area of town, somebody's gonna have something they don't like about it. Kind of like when you see somebody post online, where where's the best place to get a burger? And all you end up with is a list of every place that sells burgers in the entire you know, state. Because everyone's got a different idea. All right, let's go to the phone here. K Bear, you were live on traffic school, powered by the advocates. Who's this?

Speaker 3: Yeah, you guys really need that caller ID. I'm telling you.

Speaker 1: Jay, please get the caller ID so I can stop answering Carl's calls.

Speaker 3: So uh quick question. Uh really cool dude in the car club. Uh, he made he made a sticker with my resemblance on it. Well, I'm thinking he is I know.

Well, the thing is, he's slapping these things all over town. I mean, like it's funny. It's a really funny sticker. I'll have to send you a picture of it, but uh AI generated, but can I catch vandalism charges? I mean, I'm not putting I'm not putting the stickers up, but they bear my resemblance.

Speaker 1: Yeah, is he gonna get blamed? No, it'd be the person actually putting the sticker on.

Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, because they're all over town. I mean, it's like a where's Waldo, man. This guy is literally, he just took the whole day and just went out to Bartsfield, uh, you know, Ross Park drive in. I mean, he's slapping these things on, yeah. So all right.

Speaker 1: people don't do that. That's not nice.

Speaker 3: No, it's funny, but it's yeah, no, there's I put them on your car, you know. Yeah.

Speaker 1: Well, if you need um one of those stickers that says I did that with the finger pointing up, but it's me and not one of not one of our current or former presidents.

I've got a little stack of them. So if you've got like a dent in your car or I I don't know. You can point have me saying I did that. Right. But I'm not putting it on. Leave it up to you. No. No.

Speaker 3: So yeah, He's put them on gas pumps and stuff. I mean, can you catch charges for that?

Speaker 1: That's vandalism. Anything that you put on that's not your property. Yeah. I I want to go back to Victor's sticker. I did that. I want to get it. I want to get a t-shirt for his mom that says, I'm sorry, I did that.

Speaker 3: Well, that's awesome.

Speaker 1: Oh man. She'll have to uh haunt people while wearing it. So you're gonna have to get a Ouija board instead and just get her to you know creep around and I'm sorry I did that. She's a ghost now.

Speaker 3: So man, that's weird because my mom's an angel.

Speaker 1: Oh, my I'm pretty sure she's a ghost. Oh doesn't wait. My brother and sister heard what you said about mom on the radio. It's not funny. Yes. She wouldn't haunt people. She was a nice lady. Uh she had two good kids out of three.

Speaker 3: Were you Were you the oldest one? Because you usually burn the first pancake, right?

Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. I'm the oldest and the oldest one's usually the problem.

Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah. Yep. Yep. Oh yeah.

Speaker 1: Oh, funny. Well, man, enjoying the show, man. Hey, you guys have a good weekend. We'll talk to you after the show.

Speaker 1: Hey, you too. You too, Carl. Good to hear from you, man.

Speaker 3: We'll see you, yeah. Bye.

Speaker 1: 208-535-1015 is the number to call for traffic school powered by the advocates injury attorneys. Are you getting excited for the upcoming release of Grand Theft Auto 6?

Speaker 2: Lieutenant Crane? I heard that they're allowing guys, one of the lures to have these young college football players sign for colleges is they'll give them four days off when it comes out so that they can play it.

Speaker 1: I thought it was uh the military. That's too. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 2: I've if you resign, you get days to play too.

Speaker 1: Jade, are you listening? I talked about my job hunt earlier. Because I want at least four days to sit around and play Grand Theft Auto 6.

Speaker 2: You know what Jade's been doing the last few hours? Call on radio stations going, please call him.

Speaker 1: Please get rid of this guy. Give him a chance. Just we we want him to go. Right. He's gotta go. Uh now that's just been uh pretty much the talk of the internet. Uh somebody's been leaking clips from the game. Oh, because on purpose.

I know this is you know, this is younger people talk, you know, for old man here. But uh they are not gonna be releasing the game on a physical disc. You can only download it, digital only. So some hacker somehow got a copy of the game and is like, I'm gonna keep releasing clips until you put it out in a physical copy. And um internet's run wild with this. I saw that uh the company's stock dropped like two billion dollars since this started happening, and nobody knows who this guy is. I would imagine that's a pretty hefty uh that's a problem.

You're gonna have a bad time. I mean, restitution if uh the stock don't come back up. That's I what do people do in those situations when they get like uh all right, you owe somebody three hundred million dollars?

Speaker 2: We get restitution checks all the time that where people have been fined to pay us back, let's say a thousand bucks, right? And so they get out of jail, they get a job, and they have to pay so much or they break probation. So we'll get like a check for ten bucks here, five bucks.

Speaker 1: Not surprised. Yeah, especially in this economy. I pay I've been paying the minimum too. Sucks. All right, we got somebody calling here. Let's see what they want. K-Bear, live on traffic school, powered by the advocate's injury attorneys. Who's this? Good morning, Victor.

Speaker 4: This is Chrissy, your American Falls lunch lady.

Speaker 1: Hey, Chrissy, the American Falls Lunch Lady. Good to hear from you.

Speaker 2: Chrissy, I am so sorry. I just want to start with we're sorry.

Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you gotta deal with all those kids.

Speaker 2: No, you had to deal with Victor.

Speaker 1: Oh.

Speaker 4: No, I wasn't his lunch lady, but I yeah. So my first question, my first thing is is Victor, you are a good man to go to a country a country concert with your lady. I can't get my husband to go to a country show for nothing.

Speaker 2: And you know what the scary part is? She's gonna see those cowboys down there.

Speaker 1: Rich cowboys in Park City.

Speaker 2: I'm I'm done.

Speaker 4: She's like, life is better. No, my husband walked into a sea of cowboys with long hair, and I said, I'm marrying that man, and 30 years later we're still married.

Speaker 2: So I thought that was gonna be. going to I thought that was gonna be a bar joke.

Speaker 1: Now, uh I will say that uh the particular artist we're going to see, Ian Munzik. He he's not too bad. If she wanted to tr drag me to Jason Aldean, see ya peace.

Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah. That's very true. That's very true. So, okay, so my question is about the new license plates that are coming out.

Speaker 2: They're out.

Speaker 4: No. Yeah, well, yeah, that are that are out. I don't I don't have one yet, but I'm just so when they are scanned if you're pulled over. Do they pull up that your uh you know your ID is valid, that your insurance, you have insurance, and you have current registration. Is it show all that?

Speaker 2: It doesn't uh bring up your driver's license. It'll bring up the registered owner of the car. It'll also state whether it's insured currently or not, and whether the registration is current or not.

Speaker 4: Okay, okay. I I my ladies and I we were talking about that, and I just wasn't we were just weren't sure.

Speaker 2: So nothing about your personal ID, but everything about the car. All right.

Speaker 4: Well, excellent. I have no worries. I'm not a criminal, so I'm good.

Speaker 2: Have you lived in American Falls your whole life?

Speaker 4: No, sir. I am imported from California. Oh.

Speaker 1: Very nice. Just like this big old. I approve. Let's go.

Speaker 4: I moved up here though in 91 when I graduated high school. So I've been here for more than I lived in California.

Speaker 2: And you found a long-haired hippie boy in America Falls. Absolutely.

Speaker 4: No, I lived in Chalice at the time. Oh, come on.

Speaker 1: I'd say you're more likely in American Falls.

Speaker 2: He was the only one that wasn't a cowboy in Chalice.

Speaker 4: Yes. Yes. And you know, I was the bartender, so I like I said, I was taking that man with me.

Speaker 1: Well, we, you know, appreciate the call today and hope you have an awesome weekend. And uh good luck with the upcoming school year. Are you guys in school already there? Uh Monday. Monday. Go back Monday. Sorry, kids.

Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I'm high school level too, so they're a little bit easier than those little little monsters. So Yeah. Yeah. Well, thank you. You enjoy your concert, and we look forward to hearing how it went next week.

Speaker 1: Yep, unless I uh I guess take a day off and put in best stubs. Shame on me. Uh sorry. That's a that's a uh story from earlier. But anyhow.

Speaker 4: I was Well, I was listening and I remember that story. Yeah, you were yeah, I remember. I know, so don't be calling out on Monday, Victor.

Speaker 1: Uh I know. How dare I, you know, take a day off. Jeez, yeah.

Speaker 4: right Well, have a fantastic one, and we'll talk to you again. Hey, good to hear from you. Bye. Bye-bye.

Speaker 1: And I want to point out because she called me about this yesterday. Lauren, I am not talking about that time you were giving me grief for taking a day off. This was somebody else last night. Oh, here we go. K Bear, you were live on traffic school powered by the advocates. Who's this? It's Mart. Bart, what's up?

Speaker 3: Hey, um, yeah, I had a question about uh cell phones and driving. Should we have uh stricter and more enforcement on people who use their phones in their cars?

Speaker 2: We we have pretty good laws now, but people just don't really seem to be concerned. We go out and do emphasis all the time, and man, when we do, it's like shooting fish in a barrel. And uh yeah, we do them at least once a month, but it seems like we're just as busy the next month as we were the month before. Yeah.

Speaker 3: I think they should get with uh state and uh car manufacturers and just build a compartment that plugs into your phone and you can't get out of your phone until you turn off the key.

Speaker 1: There you go. But what about in an emergency situation if you need to Onstar.

Speaker 3: Oh, some of us don't have vehicles that fancy. Slam on the break.

Speaker 1: Punch of the airbags, baby. So yeah, people don't use your phones while driving. We're still on the hundred deadliest days of driving uh here in Idaho, and that's I'm sure one of the leading causes of accidents. Man.

Speaker 3: So I see it all the time. I'm on the road pretty much all day, all until late afternoon.

Speaker 2: Are you the guy with the sign that says out of work need any help I can get? Is that where you no?

Speaker 3: I work for the city, so I'm oh you are that watching everybody.

Speaker 2: Well, right on, Bart. Hope you have an awesome weekend, dude. Awesome. You too. See ya. Have a good one. What's Peaches, did you have a quick question before we end the show?

Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know if this is a question for you or Lieutenant Crane. Could I get in legal trouble if I play a song if another station has the quote premiere before us? Even though the song is out to the public.

Speaker 1: Oh, then no, you if it's if it's out to the public right now. Yeah.

Speaker 2: Play it. So I uh I was gonna play this song as my pick of the day at 2 p.m. And then sure enough, I get a call from the record rep that sent me the song saying, oh, Sirius XM Octane has the premiere and they're gonna play it at 6 45 tonight.

Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's if it's it's already out. Yeah. Uh what are they gonna do? Right. I uh I'll talk with you off air about whatever rep this is, and maybe we can look further. Because that doesn't make any sense. I'd get it if the song was coming out tomorrow, and you know, octane had the premiere today because I like Vinny, I wouldn't, you know. But I I don't see how they could do anything about it.

Speaker 2: That's what I was also thinking, too. I'm like, could there be some like legal issues?

Speaker 1: But it could make the label mad at us, you know. And it's also one of our close friends. Yeah, so that's what okay, sounds good. But then what kind of premiere are they doing if the song's already out? I don't know. That doesn't make any sense. That's not a premiere.

Speaker 2: It's been out since 10 p.m. last night. I listened to it nonstop. Yeah, that Hmm.

Speaker 1: All right. well anyhow, okay. Let's do one more call and then we'll end the show. K-Bear, you're live on Traffic School, powered by the advocates. Who's this?

Speaker 3: Hey, what's up, Austin? Stuart. Love you guys on the show.

Speaker 1: Hey, Stuart. Doing pretty good. Uh, I don't even know if you asked how I was doing. But anyway, what's your question?

Speaker 3: We Um he had a question online. Do we have any of those car cashing bumpers in Idaho?

Speaker 1: Oh, we talked about that earlier. Uh we do not have them. Um The Grappler. The Grappler. But uh look, all the cops here want 'em.

Speaker 2: But they, you know, all the cops want all the toys.

Speaker 1: Yeah, right. Yeah. But no, we gotta All right, I'm not going to get political. I won't talk about where our taxpayer dollars are going. We could be getting Lieutenant Crane a grappler. Come on. How about some insurance after retirement? That would help. Yeah. For all of us. Well, you know what? That sounds like uh communism to me, Lieutenant Crane, so you better settle down. Yeah, where's your hammer and sickle at, huh?

Speaker 3: Going on a mayor car seems like a good way to pull somebody out of a ditch or something. You just pull up, put it with that, and pull it on out. You could use a winch.

Speaker 1: Or a tow rope. Yeah.

Speaker 3: Way too easy.

Speaker 2: That's when you your uh buddies in the county are awesome to have around. They have all those cool toys. Heck yeah.

Speaker 1: Well, Stuart, I hope you have an awesome weekend, man. Yeah, you too. Right on. Peace. Peace. Pretty good show, fellas. Uh, you guys doing anything fun this weekend?

Speaker 2: Cleaning my place up, selling more stuff, as you would expect.

Speaker 1: Peaches. You might need to talk with him. No. Once we get up air. I'm I'm worried about him. He's selling all of his possessions, and he's turning his place. He's turning his place into what looks like every real estate listing that you find. Got these uh classy looking photos of I don't know, flowers and landscapes in black frames, and there's just nothing in his house. I'm kind of worried about it.

Speaker 2: Again, it's Jillian's and sardines.

Speaker 1: When people that's very accurate. We had to holler at him about leaving an empty can of sardines in here. because I walked in here and it reeks as dog food.

Speaker 2: I did intentionally leave an empty can of sardines with the juice inside in the trash can overnight.

Speaker 1: So that way the next morning Victor came in. What happened here? I'm like, oh, it stinks in here. Smell like wet cat food. Oh, like your house. Just peaches lunch. All right.
