[upbeat music] [siren wailing] Well, look who it is. My friend, Lieutenant Crane of the Idaho State Police. How's it going?
What do you want? That's- [laughs]
[laughs] I need some money.
Geez, that's the nicest you've ever been to me.
[laughs] Don't worry, it won't last.
All of a sudden we're friends. [laughs]
That's right.
[laughs]
My good pal. My buddy.
I've walked into something.
Yeah, yeah, we got something crazy planned [laughs]. Not really, I don't know.
I'm gonna get blindsided.
I just pounded half a cup of coffee so that might've put me in a good mood for a few minutes.
With some hard liquor in it? [laughs]
Hey, shh! Jade's listening. [laughs]
You know you got a good new boss when you can start having open liquids again.
Whoo!
Man!
I haven't got yelled at for my cup of coffee sitting here but I'm sure once I spill it on the board-
Cost thousands upon thousands of dollars
... then I'll get in a lot of trouble so... Yeah, how's your week been?
It's been, yeah...
It's been. All right, that's about how mine's gone.
[laughs]
It's been, it's been pretty busy. There's a lot of shows going on this week and things like that so we've been having a good time.
Excellent.
Yeah. Missed you at Chevelle. I think you would've really enjoyed the mosh pit.
Oh, yeah.
I know you love moshing so I would've, uh, gladly chucked you up crowd surfing.
Crowd surf, that's what I excel at.
I know you're one of the best I've ever seen.
I'm light.
[laughs]
And little.
That's right. Little guys are the best crowd surfers. You know, it's when we gotta chuck peaches up there it gets hard.
Ooh!
Uh, Kay Bear, you're live on Traffic School powered by The Advocates. Early caller, who's this?
Long time no see and no hear.
Oh, man!
Oh, Crazy Jay!
[laughs]
Out of everybody, it's the all-star. [laughs] Yeah. Where have you been, Crazy Jay? We thought you j- just vanished. You know we put out a missing persons report and everything.
Well, when I start work at 8:45, it's hard to call.
Ah! So that's why you're calling early. All right.
That's a nice round time to start working.
[laughs]
So, uh, do you have a question for the show or did you just want to say hi?
Uh, wanted to say hi and, uh, do they need lieutenants or something? 'Cause- [laughs]
[laughs] Jay, we haven't spoken years and you punched me right in the nose.
[laughs]
[laughs] I had to do it.
Yeah, I can see there's been no love lost between Jay and I in all this time.
[laughs]
What do they say? I rent space in his brain for free. [laughs]
[laughs]
Oh, you wish. I have so many other thoughts. [laughs]
Well, I hope the work goes well Jay. It's always good to hear from you.
Real quick Jay. Those other thoughts you're having can land you in jail too. [laughs]
[laughs] I try to fight them away. [laughs]
[laughs]
I try. Not that I'm successful.
[laughs]
All right, well see you guys and have a great day.
Thank you too, Jay.
We truly miss you, buddy.
[laughs]
All right, bye. [laughs]
See you man. Well see, that was a pleasant surprise.
Oh, man!
Been ages since Crazy Jay called into Traffic School.
And he's held down a job.
He has! Hasn't gotten fired yet, you know.
[laughs]
So we're both doing good today, so far. Except you trying to throw me under the bus to the bosses here. Keep my secret secret.
Let's see, how many open containers do we have in here? [laughs]
Hey! Whoo!
One, two...
There are a few open containers of seltzer in here. And it's not even the fun seltzer.
[laughs]
[laughs] Well everybody, we're gonna kick off Traffic School here in two minutes. Get those questions ready. 208-535-1015. Join the show! All right? Don't suck!
[laughs]
You ready to rock and roll?
Class is in session.
That's right, we're here to teach you stuff!
[laughs]
But you gotta call with questions if you want to learn.
You know what? We would make good high school teachers.
Oh, but you'd have to put up with the students. Those irritating kids!
They would love our class. We'd be like, "Be unruly!" [laughs]
That's right, we would be the fun teachers. You know, unlike some of the ones I had back in the day. Sticks in the mud, you know.
What was the worst thing you done in high school in class?
I'm not gonna tell you that.
[laughs]
You're a cop. [laughs] No probably the worst thing I used to do in school-
Statute of limitations, feel free to talk freely.
Like, I've talked about it on air before, I used to uh, pretty much every day in one certain class go... 'Cause it was my class before lunch, I was like, "Can I go to the bathroom?" And then I would just leave.
Never come back! [laughs]
And not come back. And you know, at one point I remember the teacher going "No! No you can't go to the... You never come back!" And I was like, "All right." I'm like, "But I really do need to go to the bathroom." And then I just left again! And then he just kind of gave up after that.
[laughs]
But I always aced the tests so they couldn't-
Your neighbor was good on them, huh? [laughs]
Shh!
Did you see this story about the narcotic sniffing horse?
[laughs] That's it, I've heard. I heard they... I don't know what the story is but I did hear a tidbit about it but I didn't hear what the follow-up was.
Okay, I think it was in like Texas. It's somewhere where the police ride horses around town. Do we have any places around here where-
Not in Idah- well no, Boise has a horse team.
Boise has a horse team?
Yep. Yep.
Okay so, you got these cops, they're you know talking to these guys, the cops are on their horses and they're asking the guys if you have any, you know, drugs or anything and they're like, "No." And the one cop just being silly is like, "Well I got a narcotic sniffing horse right here." And the guy-Books it running, just takes off at high speed.
[laughs]
And he's running on foot from a cop on a horse. You know, you're not gonna get away. Can't outrun a horse. There's video of it too, but I think there's a little bad language, or I'd, uh, show it to you. It's really funny.
Yeah. Don't offend me.
All right. So, I, I was just gonna give you guys that as a tip.
Nobody's ever used bad language around me on my job. [laughs]
I'm sure. I'm sure you never pulled somebody over, have them say, you know, any kind of expletive.
We've got automatic bleepers on our... [laughs] So when they, uh, when they say it, it's just beep. [laughs]
All right. [laughs] So I was just gonna suggest to the local police they get some of these narcotic sniffing horses.
They sure would help.
I know. You know, people... Apparently, the dogs sometimes not scary enough.
[laughs]
Horse, though? That guy was out of there.
[neighing].
[laughs] Uh, what was the other story I was gonna mention to you? By the way, people, you can call us with your questions.
I remember seeing you on a horse with nothing but a cowboy hat on.
N- I, I... Now, listen, I didn't ride a horse in the, in the buff, all right? But I was wearing a cowboy hat on a horse.
Are you sure you weren't in the buff?
Who's gonna sit on a horse naked?
[laughs] I thought you were.
Horses are already kinda uncomfortable.
I couldn't put my eyes on it very long, so... [laughs]
And why would I send you that picture if I had it? [laughs]
You didn't send it to me. You were bragging up a trip to Arizona.
Now, I have been naked in only a cowboy hat.
[laughs]
But not on a horse.
Is that completely naked, or is that not?
Uh, uh, yeah, I think you're sorta clothed. I was wearing shoes and a cowboy hat.
[laughs]
And it was at karaoke, all right? It wa- [laughs] It wasn't out riding a horse.
I sang the song, "I Wanna Be a Cowboy."
[laughs] Hey there, uh, roll up your window, turn your radio down. I-
Can, can you hear me now?
That is much better. Thank you. That was a lot of racket. [laughs]
That's like hanging around, that's like hanging around Victor.
[laughs] So who's this?
Oh, man, guys, this is, uh, Rory.
Rory, what you got for, uh, traffic school today?
Well, I, uh... So I drive truck over here.
Couldn't tell. [laughs]
Um, I, uh-
Thanks for bringing us up to speed.
[laughs]
I'm, I'm from, boy- I'm from Boise. I come over here twice a week. Um, I gotta say, I love this part of the state, but man, I have never... I have not seen any part of the country where apparently more people don't know that, uh, you can dim your high beam headlights, you know? Got that little toggle on the steering column.
[laughs]
It is ridiculous, guys, the number of people who just drive with them full beam,
24/7. Middle of the daytime, people driving around with their high beams on. I don't know if we can do a, you know, public service announcement on that or something, but that is absolutely ridiculous.
Rory, are you thinking about a career change?
[laughs] You know, there, there have been times. There have been times definitely.
We are hiring, and we would love to give you the keys to a car in Glutton in Forsyth. [laughs]
On a somewhat more complimentary note, 'cause I don't like to just dog on people, I will say you guys over here in Eastern Idaho are far more competent at navigating roundabouts than, uh-
[laughs]
Oh, what?
What?
... than the people, than people over in Boise in the Treasure Valley are. I just, I gotta give you that.
Well, that's the first time we've ever heard that people-
He just-
... know how to use roundabouts around here.
He just
I'm not saying, I'm not saying you're great at it, but you're better than my fellow Boisian.
Wow.
You just took all the wind out of Victor Sills.
[laughs]
I'm, I'm just shellshocked here.
[laughs] Can you imagine what your blood pressure would be in Boise, then?
Oh, I'd, I'd just lose it.
[laughs]
I'm never going to Boise again. [laughs]
St. Al's, here I come.
[laughs] All right. Well, you guys, you have a great rest of your day. I'm gonna get on with my deliveries now.
All right, man. Appreciate the call and, uh, enjoy your time here in beautiful East Idaho.
And thanks for listening.
Thank you so much. I'll talk to you later.
See you, man. 208-535-1015, the number to call for traffic school powered by the advocates. That, that's pretty unbelievable.
[laughs]
They must be so bad at roundabouts in Boise.
I'd like to say we'd go do a study, but I can't even get you to go out and do a video here.
That's true. I'm, I'm too tired.
[laughs]
I, I don't have it in me. [laughs]
We could be, like, um,
what would they call it? Really cool, when you get all those clickbaits and all that for doing it?
Uh, viral?
Yeah, we'd go viral.
We'd go viral with our roundabout video?
Yeah.
It'd actually just be me screaming, "Look to the left and go! Look to the left and go!"
[laughs]
It's not hard.
Carolina was like, "Let's go to the roundabout." I'm like, "You need to realize people drive a little different when there's a black and white car around." [laughs]
Yeah. They probably magically learn how to use a roundabout instantly if you're there. [laughs] 208-535-1015, the number to call for traffic school powered by the advocates. Uh, there was another article that popped up that reminded me of that story. Wasn't it in Rexburg years ago, where there was some younger people that got all stoned and called the cops on themselves?
Yes. [laughs]
[laughs]
Didn't it rise again?
Uh, this happened in, uh, I think it was Pennsylvania.
Oh, somewhere else they done it. Yeah.
Yeah, same thing happened, like, identical story.
Yeah. "Please, please send the cops!" [laughs]
Yeah. I mean, you guys gotta love these kinda stories, like the narcotic sniffing horse. You know, it's great when the, uh, people just turn themselves in, you know?
So years ago, um, we used to have a different name for our investigations team. We weren't under the Idaho State Police. We were different names, but at the time, I think we were the Criminal Bureau of Investigation for the state of Idaho.
Okay.
And they decided, no, we're gonna adopt you under our umbrella, and we're gonna make you the Idaho State Police and just be the detective's division. Well, our boss at the time, he was a little concerned and wanted to make sure he maintained his job, so he kinda shut us down and said, "Hey, you guys just stay here in the office." And so we teased him and we said, "Well, you think..."... think, think people are just gonna show up and say, "Hey, I'm a drug dealer."
[laughs]
"Take me to jail," right? But lo and behold, about three, [laughs] three weeks into this, this guy that drives a truck across the United States shows up at our office, knocks on the door [laughs] and said, "Hey, I don't know what to tell you, but I've got all this weed."
[laughs]
[laughs] And so he comes in, we interview him, and it was just ragweed. There's some places back east that this stuff grows along the shoulder of the road with very low THC, uh, content.
Okay.
And, uh, he gathered some up and was just kind of looking for some attention. Why he picked our office in southeast Idaho, [laughs] I don't know.
He- he was, just wanted to get attention?
Yeah.
Now, did he get in trouble for that? Is it-
We, we... It was so low. We, we took it... He was, he gave us a story on how it come about, but we brought him back in, interviewed him, and he picked it and, uh, brought it in just to get this story going. [laughs]
Okay. [laughs] That reminded me of something else. I, I heard that there was a, uh, a hemp, uh, maze around, like, Menan or something.
I, I've never heard of that.
Somebody was telling me about this, and I'm like, "I'd thought that hemp, like, you couldn't grow that in Idaho." 'Cause remember, it was years ago, there was a, like, somebody transporting some.
Yeah, we stopped them over in Meridian. Well, just outside of Boise.
Yeah.
And, uh, became a big court case.
Yeah.
Yep. Yep, I do remember that.
So, y- you ever heard of a hemp maze? I got, I gotta Google this up, 'cause I was like, "H- I'm pretty sure we can't have a-"
If you get lost and concerned, just roll yourself a blunt. [laughs]
[laughs] The haunted hemp maze in Menan is now open.
There you go.
That's what it says, uh, on Facebook.
You guys are-
Oh, now I'm being a snitch. Oh, geez.
Oh. Hey.
I threw 'em under the bus.
Look at your Haunted Past, why isn't that on there?
I, I don't know. I thought it would be... Well, we don't want our listeners to end up-
[laughs]
... going to jail in Evergly. I, I don't know. I assume it's gotta be, like, legit, and you can, "Learn about industrial hemp fiber and its thousands of uses." That's what it says right here. Let's... Sorry, guys, I didn't mean to, you know, snitch on you.
Wove some ropes. [laughs]
[laughs] That's true. Isn't that, uh, you know, they used to use the law back in the day.
Yep, yeah.
Yeah. All right. Come on, people. 208-535-1015, the number to call for Traffic School powered by The Advocates. Let's see. I think I got some online questions here. Um,
"How long should one stop at a stop sign minimally?"
Minimally. [laughs]
Minimally.
[laughs] Long enough to check both directions and make sure it's clear to go.
All right. So-
Yeah.
Don- yeah, don't just park there.
Yeah.
All right?
[laughs]
Come on, we got places to be. I think we should change all four-way stops to roundabouts. That's what I think.
Oh, yeah. [laughs] That's really gonna clean things up.
[laughs] KBEAR, you're live on Traffic School, powered by The Advocates. Who's this?
Hello, this is Jeremiah. How's it going?
Doing pretty good, Jeremiah. What's up?
Everything. Hey, uh, uh, two years ago, I was driving out, um, I'm not sure if you're familiar with, uh, the Trevick area, but I was driving out on-
Never been there. You been down there before, Victor?
Never.
Yeah. I was driving out Siphon and there was a whole field of hemp, and I, I kinda, kinda shocked me. I had to stop and make sure it was what it was.
But he's still there.
[laughs]
...
0% THC in it.
And you were like, "Dang it!" [laughs]
What do you-
Uh, uh-
What do you think the stuff you got right now has as far as percentage?
[laughs]
I, I, I, I'm, uh, I'm closely watched, so I don't, I don't have anything on me.
[laughs]
[laughs] They call that formal probation.
Yeah. [laughs]
I just g- I just Googled it up and, um, as of 2021, uh, as long as you get a license from the State Department of Agriculture, you can grow hemp.
Okay.
In Idaho.
Yep.
Yeah.
Bet. Yeah.
So you can go to the hemp maze, everybody. It's haunted.
[laughs]
Man, there's ghosts everywhere.
Psycho-
It's a lot, uh-
Man.
... psychedelic, maybe.
[laughs]
[laughs] Enjoy the hemp maze. [laughs]
Well, appreciate it, Jeremiah, and, uh, hope you have a good weekend, man.
[laughs]
Hey, who is your, uh-
[laughs]
... who is your supervisor?
[laughs]
I can't, I can't disclose that on the radio. [laughs]
[laughs]
Thank
you.
I've been driving around Siphon Road for six years now. [laughs]
[laughs]
Right. Have a good day, guys.
Hey, you too, man. Peace. 208-535-1015, the number to call for Traffic School, powered by The Advocates. What else would-
Anybody else that's got marijuana in their car, they're driving around, know what the percentage of THC is of it, please give us a call, let us know.
Yeah. You guys will test it for them, right?
Yeah, we'll test it.
You bring it by.
We, matter of fact, you could come by the radio station. We'll test it here for you for free, and we'll let you meet Victor Wilt. [laughs]
[laughs] Hey, two for the price of one. [laughs]
[laughs]
And y- they get a free ride afterward, too.
Yeah, free ride and-
Free ride.
... y- would you throw in a T-shirt? 'Cause-
I do have a Cannonball T-shirt
... all these booking photos. [laughs]
[laughs] Mugshot wearing a Cannonball shirt.
You could put that on your Facebook page. "Hey, look at how many listeners we got with mugshots with our T-shirts."
Oh, man. If anybody ever has been arrested in a KBear shirt, please send us your mugshot.
[laughs]
KBear, or, you're live on Traffic School, powered by The Advocates. [laughs]
[laughs] This is falling off the wheels.
Oh, it's gonna be a day.
I have to say, I, too, with everybody [clears throat] that there were roundabouts at all four-way stops, the people around here cannot figure out how to use it for, how to use them either.
Well, according to, uh, the guy earlier, we're better than Boise.
Rory.
Okay.
That was his name.
I, I did, I did hear that but, like, people here, like, I s- they sit and stop. Like, I, if I'm behind them, I would be honking my horn. They're idiots.
Hey, so real quick, what was your first name?
... Star.
Star. I can see this now-
Star, S-H-A-R.
Oh, Shar.
Shar. I can see this now. Ladies and gentlemen, coming out of the blue corner, Shar- [laughs] [clapping]
... from eastern Idaho. Coming out of the red corner, Rory-
[laughs] [clapping]
... from the Treasure Valley. Meet in the middle of the intersection.
Yes. If people could just figure them out, that would be wonderful.
Yeah. In case everybody had missed what I said earlier, look to the left and go.
[laughs]
[laughs] Exactly. I'm with you.
Shar, do you have anybody on a professional basis that you visit about this? [laughs]
No, no. I just... I'm a leisurely driver.
Well-
Yeah, I can see you maintain your calmness. [laughs]
[laughs]
Not aggressive ever behind the wheel.
You loser.
No, no.
Just maybe aggressive in th- in thinking.
Well, that's what I try to be.
I was glad that's what come out. I was like, "What's coming up next?" [laughs]
[laughs]
You guys have a great day.
Yeah, you too, Shar. Thanks for the call.
Uh-huh.
Bye.
You're welcome. Bye-bye.
I got a- I got a spelling lesson there. [laughs]
She corrected you immediately. No, my name is not Star.
I am not a star, I'm a Shar.
I'm a Shar. Um, Sean wants to know if it's illegal to listen to Taylor Swift and drive in reverse on a roundabout?
[laughs]
[laughs] I mean, it probably should be illegal to listen to Taylor Swift. Yeah. I mean-
I'm all in on that. Yeah.
All right. Let's see. @... Oh, I guess Adam, you'll have to wait. K-Bear, you're live on Traffic School powered by The Advocates. Who's this?
Good morning, Victor. This is Scott. How are you?
Scott, doing great, man. What's your question?
So, it's not a question, but while you guys are on a rant about this, I've got something for you. You know someone is way too stoned when they go to cook something in the microwave and they enter their PIN number.
[laughs]
Can I use that as a roadside question from here on out?
[laughs]
I thought you guys would get a kick out of that.
[laughs]
Thank you, Scott. Thank you for that, man.
You bet.
Quick question for you. Have you ever entered your PIN for your microwave timed cooking?
[laughs]
No.
All the time, man.
And while- and while Lieutenant Crane's there, Victor, you played a Halloween song yesterday that is gonna be stuck in my head for weeks.
Which one?
What's He Building In There?
Oh, yeah. Jade got mad yesterday 'cause I- right at the end of my show, I was like, "I wanna hear a Halloween song." And that song, people either love it or hate it. So 'cause it's- it's not even really a song. It's a guy like... What's-
Yeah
... he building in there? He's- he's got subscriptions.
And when we listened to all the... I- I played it for my mom, and she goes-
My mom. [laughs]
... "What in the world is this? Where did you find this?" I said, "Blame Victor for it."
Hey, can we try to get you a friend?
[laughs]
Yeah, it was awesome. So I played it at the end of the show, and then I... You know, generally, if I put in a request or change a song, I'll look, you know, forward and backward in the logs to make sure it's not-
Like- like, do your job?
Yeah. Make sure it's not gonna play again sometime soon. I didn't do that. So the same song played 20 minutes later, and Jade comes in, "What's wrong with your scheduling?" Blah, blah, blah. And I'm like, "No, I'm just dumb. I didn't look."
[laughs]
Do you think you cause him high blood pressure?
Probably.
Or...
I try not to. [laughs]
[laughs]
I think he does that well enough for himself.
Absolutely. [laughs]
So, I do have a Halloween request that I don't believe I've heard you play yet, if you don't mind.
Okay. Sure.
House of 1000 Corpses.
Um, we do have that in the system, and I'll try to get it going after, uh, traffic school.
Perfect. Sounds good. You guys have a good day.
Hey, thanks, Scott. Peace.
You bet. Bye. [phone rings]
Oh.
Oh, you gotta have some patience, buddy. I just put you on hold.
How do you know it was a buddy?
I guess it could have been a pal. [laughs]
[laughs]
Hello, hello. This is Daniel.
Turn down something.
Rory's back. [laughs]
Oh, this is a new caller. My name's Daniel.
Well, thanks for straightening that up for us.
Thank you, Daniel. Um, yeah, what's up, dude? [laughs]
Um, I live in Rexburg, and we have drivers from all over the place coming from... They're... I suppose they're used to different rights of way, and-
They just want all their rights
... um, I think... They're- they're confused on all their rights. Is that what you said?
No, they just want all their rights.
Uh, I suppose that's also true. Rights are nice to have. Um, but I think Lieutenant Crane in the past cleared something up for me, and that was in Idaho. All four-way stops are first come, first serve. Correct?
Yeah, that's right, Lieutenant Crane. If- if somebody pulls up to a four-way stop, whoever gets there first goes.
Yep, yep.
And if two people pull up at the same time, it's the person to the right. Correct?
Yes.
Yes. I- I hope so. I'm reading this. [laughs]
Yeah, he's just playing on his phone, you know,
playing that snake game.
I looked into that a little bit more, and I saw that, um, the Idaho code has this cleared up down to... If there's even four people at the same time, whoever's the northernmost goes first.
I think if four people all pull up at the exact same time, you got to get some, you know, common sense and courtesy going on. Correct?
Yeah, exactly.
Now, my question is... Because... And I think I understand where all the people coming from out of state are coming from, because I came from Washington State, and there, people can go at the same time, right turns, uh, and left turns can go at the same time. If you're turning right, you can go at the same time as someone else across the street going straight. And so, that is just a lot more efficient, and it makes sense coming from a place that's a lot more densely populated.
Well, you-
Out here in Rexburg-
You can do that here, too, right? You can do that, too.
Oh, you can?
You can do that here, too.
Oh, okay.
If you got somebody going straight across, and you're over in the right-hand turn bay, and you're not gonna offend, uh... Not offend, but affect traffic flow, you can make that right-hand turn.
... gotcha. Um, Rexburg is problematic near the campus, because between classes there's just pedestrians everywhere, it's an ocean. You kind of just have to go with the flow. Um, I have heard that-
I agree with the statement that Rexburg is problematic. [laughs]
[laughs] Did you know there are signs up in Rexburg that says, "Victor is not allowed." [laughs]
[laughs]
"No trespassing."
[laughs] I've only been kicked out of Rexburg one time, okay?
Yeah.
Just once.
Forever. [laughs]
[laughs] That's right.
So I see those signs and I have to turn down the radio a little bit.
[laughs] Yep, they don't even allow my voice to be broadcast. [laughs]
We can't have that around our children.
Riff-raff. [laughs]
[laughs] I can't imagine if you were around my kids growing up, I'd have a panic attack.
[laughs] What?
[laughs]
I- I'm a good influence, all right? [laughs]
[laughs]
Me too.
Well, appreciate the call.
The other thing is-
Oh, go ahead.
Sorry. Mind if I ask one more question?
I guess.
We've got all the time in the world for you.
Wonderful. Um, the other thing was that, if, uh, what I read from the law book was, um,
You don't have a whole bunch of a life. [laughs]
Hey, I'm a student. I- I have to do something with my free time that I don't have.
"I got classes, but man, I find it enjoyable to read the law book." [laughs]
Um, if there are pedestrians, you always have to yield to them, and if a car is yielding to a pedestrian, while preserving that first come first serve basis, it says that you cannot take your spot, even if it's clear, if someone else who's supposed to go first is yielding for a pedestrian. And I find that an utter waste of time.
So you're talking four-way stops again, but I would like to clarify, when you're reading that, that the pedestrian always has the right of way. That is in a crosswalk, they don't have the right of way on any roadway to just take off through the road, cut across.
Gotcha.
Yeah.
So where do you draw the line between going with the flow, common sense and whatnot?
So they'd go from, uh, corner to corner there, the big white ones. [laughs]
[laughs]
Yeah, I mean if- if, obviously if somebody is yielding to a pedestrian and you're not going to run the pedestrian over-
The fact that you can take a right and not go over that, yeah, it's a good time to go.
Yeah, then you- you could go out of turn and-
Or if you're gonna go straight.
Yeah. [laughs]
And not cross a, the crossing. Yeah, it'd be a good time to go.
Gotcha. Awesome, well thank you.
Hey, thanks so much.
Um, I'm still a little new to KBear Army, but I'd love to be a part of it.
You're a part of it!
Th- there's a lot of kids up there, maybe you can come up with a friend or two.
Yeah, yeah, if you roll around and they're like, "Where's the KBear Army at in Rexburg?" It's the whole school, man.
Record numbers up there.
Yeah.
[laughs]
Awesome.
So-
Let's go Vikings. Thank you gently.
Hey, you're in. You're in the KBear Army now. Welcome.
What you need to do is put a tattoo on your forehead that says, "KBear Army."
Mm-hmm.
And then the other kids can under- uh, they'll be able to recognize you better.
Yeah, I'm sure that would be just great. [laughs]
[laughs] And make sure to send us that mugshot.
Or put it across your chest and go shirtless.
Oh, yeah!
I'll send you something.
All right.
[laughs]
This is Daniel Lovelace, thank you, from Rexburg. Bye.
Hey thanks, have a good one.
KBear, you're live on Traffic School powered by The Advocates. Who's this?
Hey, Sunny, Sunny, Sunny.
There he is. What up, Carl?
Yo! [laughs]
What's happening?
Bear!
Hey, I got a, I- I got an answer to your question. What's he building in there? He's building a hot rod.
[laughs] I- I don't know it-
Who's question was that? [laughs]
The- the song we talked about.
Oh, okay. All right.
That song.
Yeah, yeah.
I got to keep up.
Yeah, I'm gonna have to play it for you. If people don't call, it's-
[laughs]
It's gonna be, "What's he building in there? He's got subscriptions to those magazines. What's he building in there?" [laughs]
[laughs] That's so...
They're hot rod magazines.
[laughs]
You know-
Some racing stuff like that.
Uh, people Carl's age, when they were young teenagers, they had a magazine they used to call Playboy under their mattress, right?
Whoa! [laughs]
[laughs]
But Carl, Carl himself, he had the Mechanic Special Magazine under his-
[laughs]
Exactly. [laughs]
The Hot Rod Magazine. His other friends are like, "Look at this girl!" And he's like, "Look at this Pinto." [laughs]
[laughs]
Oh.
Oh, that's funny. I'll say there's a- there's- there's a guy in McCammon, he's building, uh-
[laughs]
... a Grandpa Monster. You r- you remember the Monsters? Uh, he had the coffin car, and he's building an exact replica of that car.
"What's he building in there?"
He- he's gotta bring that thing out for Halloween, man. What's that guy building in there?
[laughs]
Yeah, he- he definitely should, man. That's awesome.
Right.
He's never give in to peer pressure. All his buddies are like, "You've got to look at her."
[laughs]
And he's like, "You gotta look at this!" [laughs]
[laughs]
It's nice. Hey-
Well, appreciate it, Carl.
Which one's gonna give you more trouble, a thing with four wheels or a thing that's gonna cost you a lot of time and money and pain?
Both of them cost you a ton of money, I can promise you that.
[laughs]
[laughs] Right. Okay.
And sometimes at the same time. My wife's got a car we're redoing for her right now. It's costing me a lot of money, and it wouldn't have cost me a lot of money if my wife didn't want the car, and if we wouldn't have to remodel- or, uh, restore it.
Man, you're doing a lot of work. [laughs]
Yeah. [laughs]
Making me feel lazy.
What- what- what are you building her?
Uh, she ended up a few years ago getting a 1965 Ford Thunderbird. [car revving]
Nice! Right on, right on. Oh, that's a lot of- a lot of time, money, pain.
... tears, blood and effort.
[laughs]
I know. He was crying when he came in. It's like, "Settle down." Just like, "Ah."
[laughs]
No, it's crazy.
[laughs]
I was getting a little bait and switch because the first thing he said is, "Man, I missed you, buddy." [laughs]
[laughs]
No doubt.
Oh.
Right on. Oh, sweet. I better... I guess I better get back to work. I don't know. On the clock and all that. I just thought I'd call in and answer the question, what's he building in there? It's a hot rod.
All right. Well, we appreciate it, Carl, and you have a great rest of the day.
He's been on the clock since 8:45-
Yeah. Thank you, man. [laughs]
... same as Crazy Jay. He's just getting started. [laughs]
[laughs]
Oh.
Oh, sweet. Well, you guys have a good weekend, man. We'll talk to you soon.
You too, Carl. See you, man.
Bye.
All right, folks who are calling, call us back, 208-535-1015, the number to call. Or I'm gonna play, what's he building in there? [laughs]
[laughs]
The whole song. All right, Adam wanted to know, let's see. He, he wrote a paragraph here. "So, the signal light wasn't changing on the Rexburg Walmart exit. There was an officer sitting in his car 100 feet away. I sat at the light for 10 minutes. Traffic backed up almost back onto the highway. Officer's still sitting in his car. I ended up just turning left on a red once it was clear. I didn't know how to handle this situation and the cop watched me do it, but continued to sit there. What should be done as a driver when you're stuck at a signal light that won't change or is broken?"
Well, it sounds like they knew there was a problem and he was up there doing a visual on it. Too bad he wasn't going up there and waving traffic through.
No kidding. [laughs]
[laughs]
He's just sitting there watching it back up like, "Hey-"
Man, this would be a lot more effective if I'd get out of my car. [laughs]
[laughs]
He was hungry, you know? Everybody needs a snack. [laughs]
Oh!
I'm, I'm getting about fed up with you people!
[laughs]
Oh, sorry. Hi caller, you're live on Traffic School, powered by The Advocates. Who's this?
Yeah, Char again. I have a question.
Do I have to spell anything? [laughs]
[laughs]
No, no. [laughs] Not anymore. I think you learned.
[laughs]
So-
[laughs]
... you have some good positive male relationships, don't you? [laughs]
[laughs]
You do as I say, boy!
[laughs]
I did find them all ... Y- you needed to have the correct phonics. So, like here, like when you are in, like, you know, big parking lots, like mall parking lots, there are stop signs. Now, you technically don't have to follow that stop sign-
Oh! [laughs]
... because it's like, it's private property, correct?
No, that's not correct. There's three things-
Like, I mean, like-
... you can cite for on private property and stop sign's [laughs] one of them.
Oh, g- well, like, really?
[laughs] Yeah, really.
[laughs]
[laughs] I, I still had to, like-
Another one-
... Those stop signs, like-
... Char. [laughs]
... if noone, if nobody is around, I thought it would be okay to, like, run those.
Yeah, that's kinda like the one out in the country, right? But-
Like
[laughs]
Well, those, like, those are on the road. Like, those are real-
Hey, real quick. Another one you can't do on that is, uh, DUI. You can't be drinking and driving. So, if that's what's affecting you-
No. Oh, like-
... not to stop
... [laughs]
[laughs]
Yeah. No, maybe if I've only been at a hemp farm
that I'm drinking. [laughs]
[laughs]
[laughs] Well, yeah.
So-
Unfortunately, they can get you for it. They'll get you for everything, Char. Sorry.
Yeah, we're coming after you. [laughs]
Well, okay. Like, I just thought that those stop signs were different than the ones that were on the main road.
Nope, they're ock- octagon just like any of the others. [laughs]
[laughs] Well, I mean, I know something. Thank you.
And did you notice they're red and white?
Yeah. Well, I know.
[laughs]
But I just thought they were, like, on private property, so it's, like, becomes, like, different laws.
Open to the public. Yeah. Nah. Uh, not on that.
Okay.
There's three we can enforce and that's one of 'em, and, and, uh
... Man.
Okay. Well, darn it.
I loved your conviction, though.
I won't be ... I, I won't, uh ...
[laughs]
Well, I'll stop at the stop signs and the, and the parking lots then.
Mm-hmm.
[laughs]
All right. Thank you, Char.
Thank you.
[laughs] You have a good one.
You too.
See ya.
Bye-bye.
You know this is ridiculous! [laughs]
[laughs]
[laughs] Yeah, sorry, just 'cause you find a law ridiculous doesn't mean you can break it.
[laughs]
[laughs] All right, let's go to the phones here. Uh, K-Bear, you are live on Traffic School, powered by The Advocates. Who's this?
This is Mike.
Mike, what's up?
Hey. So, if I'm, like, pulling into a traffic spot, like a parking spot, sorry, and somebody opens their door into my car as I'm driving in, like, who's at fault?
Oh, that's a good question for The Advocates right there, because it's gonna be y- um, divided out, right? You're gonna have to... A, a lot of places, they're busy enough, they would just have you exchange information and insurance, and then they'd go and, uh, talk about this and that. But
yeah, that does happen. Did it just recently happen to you?
Maybe.
[laughs]
Yeah. So, they do have some culpability on checking to make sure nothing's coming in. And you have some culpability there, so a lot of times they'll just say, "Hey, you, you know, turn that over to your insurance. Let them battle that."
What insurance? No, I'm just kidding. [laughs]
Oh.
Oh!
[laughs]
Naughty, naughty.
[laughs]
Oh!
Then, on that case, I'd go down to the, uh, body shop that you prefer and just be really, really nice.
[laughs]
[laughs] You mean my garage with rattle cans of paint?
Yeah. Yeah.
[laughs]
Yeah, so no, but that does happen. People wing their doors open all the way without checking to see if somebody's coming in, and the others are coming in, and, and timing is awful on that sometimes.
Oh, yeah.
Well, right on, man.
W- thank you much, man.
That's a bad day.
Good luck with that.
Thanks.
[laughs] Have a good weekend, Mike.All right. 208-535-1015, the number to call for Traffic School powered by The Advocates, if we have any last minute questions. Uh, Becca says, "Is jaywalking still illegal? 'Cause I do it all the time." [laughs]
[laughs] Oh, she didn't get that, uh, social media announcement? You can now jaywalk.
[laughs] Have you ever cited somebody for jaywalking?
Uh, we, uh... I used to work for Expert PD, and there'd become a time when we're getting a lot of kids hit that weren't using the crosswalk, so they'd put us out on crosswalk patrol.
Okay.
Yeah.
All right, that would make sense. Like, you know, in Pocatello as well, right there, um, you know, in front of the college?
Yep.
Yeah.
Yeah. So we- we'd go out and enforce that until we got it under control.
I think letting them get hit by the car is gonna make them learn more about jaywalking. [laughs]
[laughs] This is the craziest thing I've ever heard. But there are students up there... And I get asked this on a regular basis as, uh, students come through our home, is, "Uh, so if I get hit by a car, I get my tuition paid for free?" [laughs]
What? [laughs] I'm like, "Why would you even think that?" But that's the rumor going around, right?
That's bizarre. [laughs]
Yeah, and like... And who would pay for it? [laughs]
Uh... Yeah. [laughs]
[laughs] KBear, you're live on Traffic School, powered by The Advocates. Who's this?
How you doing, my friend? Jeremy.
Jer- Jeremy, doing good. What's up, man?
So, a couple months ago, I had an incident. Uh, getting onto the freeway, I know you're supposed to merge in, and if the traffic won't allow you to, you have to slow down and let that get by. But I had a gentleman who, as I was getting ready to get on the freeway, the back bumper of his vehicle started to fly off and he pulled across the intersection of the lane going up the freeway, and then just stopped directly in front of me. Luckily, I didn't hit him but-
I was gonna say, "You tore his bumper the rest of the way off?" [laughs] Problem solved.
[laughs]
Oh, I would have done m- I would have done more than tear just the bumper off. I was in a big old box truck. I would have destroyed his car.
Oh, man. Yeah, I mean, in that situation, I mean, Taylor Specter- [laughs]
I understand he's trying to get off the freeway because of... He's about to create a hazard, but he... In the process of doing so, he almost created an accident.
Yeah. I mean, I think if you're pulling on, you're still responsible to pay attention, even in a bizarre situation like that.
Well, it depends. It... L- a lot of things in that. So, with that being there now, if he does a evasive action that causes the crash, he'd be responsible for that. But if you're following-
Yeah
... too close or whatever, yeah, there would be a lot of on-scene questions on something like that.
And then the second part of this kind of question, that same vehicle I use has a top speed of 60 miles an hour. So when I do actually get on the interstate-
You have a lot of friends. [laughs]
[laughs]
... I politely put my hazards on to let them know that I'm traveling at a slower speed. Is that good or bad?
That's probably a wise decision, especially if you're on I-15 with a speed limit of 80, because you'll have cars coming up behind you pretty fast.
I'm actually on 86 when I'm doing that.
Oh.
But still same theory, 80 miles an hour.
So you've been to Chumley County, like, uh, Victor and I.
Yeah.
Nah. [laughs]
Uh, no.
[laughs]
I- I get on, I get on the freeway at Rainbow Road, and then I get back off at Seagull Bay.
Ah.
Oh.
Otherwise, the rest of it... the rest of the ride is always on the old ro- old roads.
That, uh, that Seagull Bay, American Falls area, that used to be a crime-free area from '96 to '97.
[laughs]
Crime free?
Yeah. Yeah.
[laughs]
That was my first station as an Idaho State Trooper.
Yeah. [laughs]
I was down there for a year.
Just bored out of your mind? [laughs]
No, it was actually busy.
Yeah?
They hadn't had law enforcement there for a long time, and, and, uh, sure enough, uh, yeah, very successful.
Okay.
Yep.
There's a lot of s... There's a lot of state troopers through that area as, as I go through every week, so...
There seems to be a problem where people think they can transport illegal narcotics. [laughs]
[laughs]
I wonder why.
[laughs]
Couldn't be coming from the Nevada side back into the Pocatello area.
[laughs]
It's... Seems to be very effective there. [laughs]
[laughs] It is kinda close to Burley, so. [laughs]
[laughs]
Well, thanks, Jeremy.
Oh, too funny.
Hope y- Hope you have a good weekend, man.
Hey, uh, how early are you and Peaches gonna be in town today?
Not sure.
[laughs]
Not sure.
They're here now. [laughs]
We're... Yeah. I mean, we are in a town right now. But, uh, yeah, I'm not sure what time we're getting to the show. We're waiting for some information.
That's the first time anybody... I've heard anybody ask, "When can Peaches be here?" [laughs]
[laughs]
Well, I'm gonna meet up with both of you guys at some point today. So that's the... I was kinda curious. I was-
And that's not a threat, that's a promise.
I called Peaches yesterday. I mean, I will be there-
I called Peaches yesterday, but he was getting ready to make all the phone calls to announce the winners for all the
tickets you guys gave away.
Yeah.
He says, "I'll let you get back to work," and I just got off the phone with him.
Ah, gotcha.
So-
Yeah. I mean, I can guarantee we'll be there when the show is happening.
[laughs]
Oh, of course.
I'm not sure how early, so.
All righty. Well, I'll hit you guys up a little bit later through Messenger, and we'll figure it all out.
All right, dude. Sounds good, Jeremy.
Talk to you later.
See you.
Peace out. [phone hangs up]
All right, pretty good show today.
Yeah, not bad.
Thank you to everybody who called and left questions online. We hope you have a great weekend and, uh, if you're heading out to any events tonight, uh, be safe and be good or Lieutenant Crane and his buddies are gonna come get you.
Or just stay home.
[laughs]
That's right. Don't do anything fun.
And if you're going to the hemp place and you happen to have anything with high THC levels, please give us a call.
[laughs] All right, Traffic... Well, should we do this one more?
Yeah, let's do it.
Okay. Final Call. KBear, you're live on Traffic School, powered by The Advocates. Make it snappy.
Hey, I've been waiting for you to ask, uh, the question about the, uh, self-driving cars.
Okay.
[laughs]
Let's see. Now, what was my question about self-driving cars?
Did that happen over a couple hours ago? [laughs]
Yeah. Like, I, I don't remember what question I had about self-driving cars. I was gonna ask him about, uh, cruises and things, but we didn't get to that, so...
Okay. Yeah, 'cause I remember, uh, yesterday you were talking that you were gonna ask him about the self-driving cars, and you hoped they didn't come to Idaho.
Are you sure that wasn't Peaches? Are you sure this was me? [laughs]
I swear it was with you.
I mean, I am kind of tired today, so...
Children-
I don't know
...this is why you shouldn't do drugs. [laughs]
[laughs]
[laughs] You-
You went to that hemp, uh, uh-
I was at the-
... maze earlier, didn't you?
...... oh, the Hemp Maze this morning, man.
I didn't get out till 5:45.
[laughs]
Yeah, no, uh, all I remember about a self-driving car, like, the only story I remember anything like that was the DoorDash delivery thing that looked like a, you know, a little cartoon car that people were, like-
So, would you-
... destroying.
So, would you do that if you actually had to still come out of your house and walk out to the parking lot to get it?
Y- yeah, exactly.
That's why I hired ya! [laughs]
[laughs]
For the walk from the sidewalk to the door.
Yeah. I don't know. I don't remember a self-driving car sto- uh, question.
Okay. Well, let's just say self-driving car. Let's go with a Tesla, for instance.
Oh, we can't do that. [laughs]
Since they came out with that brand new one that has no steering wheel, can you get a DUI in it?
You're still in control because you're in the operating seat, yeah.
Even though it has no steering wheel?
Yep. Because, eh, you know, that's gonna be something that's gonna be heard through the court of law for sure. But right now, my view on that would be you still are the one responsible for the movement of that car if something was to go sideways. So-
Okay.
But that's something that's probably gonna be seen in, in the courts before you know it.
Oh, yeah. For sure. Once the technology improves a little bit more-
Yeah
... and becomes more common.
I would say this, if you are gonna drink and you don't have a way home and you can afford one, I'd a lot sooner [laughs] see you do that than, uh, drive a, a manual vehicle. So-
Yeah. Call an Uber, people!
So, for instance, like, a limo, you can drink in a limo, right?
If there's a partition between the driver and the back.
So, if you were in the back seat of a Tesla, you could still get a DUI, even if it's driving?
Well, if you're the only one in there, somebody's gotta be responsible for the movement of that car.
What if the- my pup's in the front?
Uh, hey, there's a story behind that I've shared in the past.
[laughs]
But like I say, right now, um, that's my personal opinion. What we're gonna see is that's gonna end up in a court of law, and a judge is gonna make a ruling on that.
Well, there's always that hearsay law in Idaho.
[laughs] Hearsay. Yeah, we, we, we get a lot of that on this program. [laughs]
[laughs]
We heard it earlier today. "I can run stop signs in the mall."
[laughs]
Well, appreciate it, man.
Awesome.
And hope you have an awesome weekend.
You too, guys.
Right on. See ya.
Bye-bye.
All right, everybody. Catch Traffic School every Friday morning, 8:45. Anything else you need to get out there to the community?
Uh, just know that they're wrapping up potato harvest, so if you're out and in the country roads, just know there's still gonna be a lot of implements and tractors and trucks. And just be cautious and be aware.
All right, people. Be careful this weekend, and catch us next Friday morning, 8:45, for Traffic School, powered by The Advocates.
