[upbeat music] [siren wailing] 208-535-1015, the number to call for Traffic School powered by The Advocates. How's Lieutenant Crane this week?
Man, I'm doing good, Chief. Put out, uh, a little public information notice.
Yes.
Uh, today, today we are running a hands-free emphasis patrol. So, if you're driving, get in the habit of putting your phone down. If you don't, today's probably a good day you'll get a citation.
Okay, so I shouldn't be checking my Facebook and watching TikTok videos while I'm driving to the- today?
Today, talking on it, sending texts, yada, yada, yada.
Okay. Uh-
Yeah
... where- where are you guys gonna be specifically?
Oh, I can't tell you that.
[laughs] Oh, damn it.
[laughs]
But I love to use my phone-
Tha-
... while I'm driving.
... tha- was a bait and switch. You're trying to sucker me. [laughs].
[laughs] Hey, I gotta try, I gotta try.
But, uh, they sounded pretty busy on the way in. It's not like they weren't able to find some fish in the pond. [laughs]
Yeah? All right, everybody, good luck out there. Put down your phones.
And get used to driving without it in your hands. How 'bout that?
Y- yeah, if you wanna call Traffic School, pull over-
[laughs]
... apparently. [laughs]
Today, pull over today.
[laughs]
Yeah. Hey, another thing we got going I wanna put out because we're not gonna be here, uh, before it happens, but next Friday, uh, BYU-Idaho's coming back in, having another record-breaking, uh, year on enrollment. So, if you have any possibility of staying away from Rexburg, Idaho-
[laughs]
Next Friday?
Next Friday. It's gonna be in your best interest, or you are gonna experience road rage, [laughs] you know?
Okay.
Yeah.
Good- good to know 'cause I've had a few road rage incidents, uh, this week. Uh, talked with Jade about 'em earlier. I don't know if you heard that.
No, I haven't heard it, but we'll probably cover it. Now, listen, I know you're against all government agencies. [laughs]
Absolutely. Down with the government.
But I will tell you this, the Idaho Transportation Department, like I tell you multiple times on this program, amazing. They, uh ... We're gonna have a meeting on Monday. We're gonna come up with the best possible plan, uh, with those DDI intersections. They've been working great. I remember you were very against those. [laughs]
What's a D- i- the DDI?
The diamond.
Oh, the diamond.
Up there, right in the-
It's confusing.
Yeah. [laughs]
I don't know what to do. Oh, I don't like it. Change is bad. [laughs]
[laughs] But, uh, we're gonna go ahead and work on that. And, uh, I think it's gonna flow well, but just, if you're gonna have any opportunity to avoid Rexburg next Friday, probably a great idea.
All right. I mean, it's gonna be tough for me to-
Yeah, 'cause you like going up there. [laughs]
I love Rexburg. I go every Friday. So, what am I supposed to do?
[laughs]
[laughs] All right. Well, uh, you know, the Eastern Idaho State Fair is going.
Yeah.
Do you have any advice for people regarding the fair-
Oh
... traffic-
... man
... um?
If you're going down there, you need to realize a lot of people are going [laughs] down there. Right? So, plan some time in your travels. Don't get in a hurry to get home. Just enjoy, just r- reminisce about the memories you made there at the fair.
Yeah, the memories you made.
And if that don't work, tease that one person that you seen-
[laughs]
... [laughs] and slow down. And just take some time and, and enjoy your ride back home.
All right. Well, I hope everybody's been enjoying the fair, and I hope you'll call us for Traffic School powered by The Advocates. You got everybody scared now with this d- don't-
Yeah, absolutely
... use your phone thing.
Yeah.
So they're like, "What am I supposed to do?"
You can do hands-free on your phone. Right? You can say, "Hey, call so-and-so." It'll call us.
That's true.
Call the Victor Wheel Show.
And then you just set your phone somewhere and, uh, call in-
Should be in a cradle, and you're good to go.
All right, people. Come on, 208-535-1015, the number to call for Traffic School. Uh, we did get a question posted ... Oh, I guess we'll, we'll go to the caller.
You need to learn some patience. [laughs]
I'm ... Jade ruined my patience today because I found out how much time I've wasted. Um, hi, caller.
[laughs] That is called patience if you're not in a hurry to get anything done.
[laughs] I was in a hurry.
[laughs] And I still couldn't get it done on time.
I just did something I didn't need to do all week. Uh, thanks for your patience, caller.
[laughs]
Who's this?
This is Adam.
Adam, what's up, dude?
So, I've made a questionable decision to continue watching those body cam videos. And one thing that blows my mind, I assume the Miranda rights are the same in every state, right?
Yeah. [laughs]
So, what blows my mind is they'll tell them the Miranda rights and then say, "Knowing that, do you still want to talk to me?"
[laughs]
Every single time-
[laughs]
... and continue talking.
[laughs]
[laughs] People just can't shut up. [laughs]
Yeah, sometimes just keep your mouth shut.
[laughs]
Don't say anything. Ha- haven't they ever watched movies when the lawyer's like, "Don't say anything. Don't say anything."?
[laughs] That's the movies.
People don't pay attention. [laughs] Sometimes it can go over into real life.
I raised a son that if it didn't happen on SpongeBob, it wasn't real.
[laughs]
[laughs] So, yeah.
I did- I did- I did make the realization though that if they had actually shut up, they probably wouldn't have made it onto a YouTube video.
That's true.
Yeah.
'Cause it would've been a boring video.
[laughs] Yeah.
It's like 'cause ... Well, I guess I'll ask, Lieutenant Crane, how often when you read their rights did they shut up?
Well, this is ... Yeah, exactly, right? Th- I can't tell you how many times I'm like, "Hey, practice your right for being quiet." [laughs]
Please.
[laughs]
You- I'm just reminding you, you have the right to remain silent. You can. Please.
And please do. [laughs] Yeah. But it's interesting how much of an education you would get when you have somebody in the backseat of the car in handcuffs 'cause a lot of 'em become lawyers.
Yeah, legal experts.
Yeah, yeah. Th- they're amazing.
[laughs]
The intelligence level-
Yeah
... just skyrockets. [laughs]Yeah. I saw a video where the police officer literally saw a bo- bottle of vodka in the door, and then when she went to search the vehicle, uh, the other lady was screaming, "You can't do that. You can't..." I thought, you know, she's like, "I, I saw it with my own eyes," so...
[laughs]
[laughs] That's kinda like when we smell the odor of a illegal substance in the car, and they say, "You can't search my car."
"I hid a skunk!" [laughs] "Get outta here! This is Idaho. There's animals around, critters."
But I think there's a good point to make here though. We... Let's talk about Miranda rights, when and when, when they need to be imposed and when we don't need 'em, right? So people get confused about that. If I don't have you in custody, I don't need to advise you of your Miranda rights. If you have the opportunity to walk away from me and cut off the conversation, I can ask you anything I want. Okay? Now, if I put you in handcuffs and I started asking you questions about the, uh, uh, the incident on which I have you under arrest, now I need to r- advise you of your Miranda rights.
Okay. Okay.
Yeah. So. I, I suppose the moral of the story there is you're still recording even before- Oh, absolutely. [laughs]
...
[laughs] And I love it when they tell me, "I'm gonna record this!"
[laughs] Excellent. That way if mine fails, yours will work. [laughs]
[laughs] Two cameras are better than one. Fantastic.
Uh, all right, I probably sucked up too much of you guys' time. You have a good one.
Hey, good to hear from you, Adam. Hope you have a good weekend, man.
Yeah, you too. Bye.
Hey there. You're live on Traffic School powered by The Advocates. Who's this?
This is Mark.
Mark, what's up, man?
Hey, not much. How you guys doing?
Pretty decent.
Right on. Uh, I have a question about CDL, uh-
Oh, quit. [laughs]
[laughs]
He loves those questions.
It's a serious one, I guess. Uh, when you guys, uh, pull somebody over, if they're having a DUI with a CDL, how does, uh, I guess, the suspension work? And can you get a
re- Do they just demote you to a regular license, or do you have to do the time and also-
They demote you from a semi driver down to a bus driver, put you with the kids. [laughs]
[laughs] Oh, worst job ever. [laughs]
[laughs]
Nightmare.
No, hey, that's a great question. So when we talk about DUIs and CDL drivers and the lower BAC rate, which is .04 if you're operating a commercial vehicle, it's .04.
I thought it was... I thought it was nothing.
Uh-
You can't have anything in your system.
Well, you can. There's citations for that too, but for a processed DUI it's .04. Now, uh, the legal limit for an automobile is .08, right?
Right.
So with that being said, if you're driving a regular car
and, um,
you have a CDL license, but you're driving your Toyota Camry-
Right
... and get stopped, you can't be cited just because you have a commercial vehicle li- uh, driver's license, CDL, for .08. Or excuse me, .04. It has to be a .08. Now, would that affect y- you being able to drive your commercial vehicle? Absolutely. The insurance is gonna look at that. There's a lot of things that come with that. But the DUI doesn't go into effect until the .08. In a commercial vehicle, in your truck, now it's .04.
Oh, okay. I thought it was totally nothing when it... when you're driving a truck, and then your personal vehicle, same thing. So...
Hm.
That's good to know. [laughs] Not that I'm gonna go out drinking and driving.
[laughs]
But I'll tell my friends! [laughs]
[laughs] My buddy wanted to know. Yeah. [laughs] Well, good question, Mark.
Thank you. You guys have a good weekend.
Hey, you too, man.
OK, dude.
Peace.
208-535-1015, the number to call for Traffic School powered by The Advocates. Okay.
If, if the live line phones were as busy as our personal cellphones, we'd be busy. [laughs]
I know, just lighting up. You know? How about that hotline, people?
[laughs]
208-535-1015.
If you wanna call us, call us.
That's right. Th- This, my cellphone will not-
[laughs]
... you know, go, go over the air properly. Have to hold it up to the microphone and sound ridiculous. Okay.
Kinda like us. [laughs]
[laughs] That's right. All right, we got a few questions online. Let's see. Uh, this guy says, "Please let people know, in some instances, you can turn left onto a one-way when the light is red."
Yeah, if you're turning onto a one-way from a one-way and it's not a red arrow bulb.
There you go.
You can do that.
That is correct.
Yes.
Uh-
Oh, thank you. [laughs]
[laughs] You're welcome.
[laughs]
Glad I could help out. [laughs]
It wouldn't have been as good if you would have gave me the old eye nod. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah, man. [laughs]
Yeah, man. That's a correct answer. [laughs] Yeah.
[laughs] We've got a winner. [clapping] I can't wait to see you answering questions on Family Feud.
Oh, it's coming up.
Tell you what, it's... yeah, wouldn't you say January?
Yeah, January, I guess. I... My wife and I were talking about this the other night, and there was a program, and I was like, "Man, you know, I don't even remember kinda the whole thing. It was so fast and everything." It was like-
Yeah.
... don't remember the questions really, don't remember anything, [laughs] just know, "Hey, you stand here for a long time." [laughs]
Well, and I know everybody just wants to know if you won or what.
Yeah.
And you won't tell me.
Can't t- Um, follow the rules.
I... He... Li- Listen, listeners.
[laughs]
He would not tell me off-air anything. Keeping secrets.
Yeah.
Very shady and suspicious.
I still have my current job. That's how much money I won. [laughs]
Okay. [laughs] That's true. You are still working. [laughs]
[laughs]
All right, uh, Colter wants to know if the... Well, hold on. Callers get priority. Sorry, Colter.
On this program.
That's right, callings first. Hey there, you're live on Traffic School powered by The Advocates. Who's this?
Sunny, sunny, sunny!
Yeah!
There it is! [laughs]
Ladies and gentlemen, it's the end of the summer. Come down!
[laughs] I think so.
Yeah, you're gonna run out of- gonna run out of car shows soon.
Snow's flying, ladies and gentlemen.
I know. You know, I'm-- I'm not going to complain about the heat anymore 'cause it's going to be snowing here in a bit, so... Yeah. Yeah.
C-Carl! Hey! Hey! Watch your mouth.
Don't talk about that.
[laughs]
You don't talk about that. No saying the four letter S word on the radio.
No. [laughs]
[laughs]
You gotta just drop that.
[laughs] Right.
No doubt. Oh, man. So I say I'm cruising down the country road, you see that '56 Buick sitting in a field. You buy it from the farmer for 500 bucks. Uh-
You buy a lot of stolen cars, don't you? [laughs]
[laughs]
Well, yeah. Like I said, I don't- I don't have any friends, man. I mean, I do them my time when I can. [laughs] So-
They hadn't moved for a while, so I just loaded it up. [laughs]
[laughs]
Right. Right. Yeah, hey, nobody's watching. [laughs]. So...
I was out there at midnight, nobody was around. [laughs]
[laughs]
No! I mean... [laughs] Oh, man. So-
Hey, I do... Hey, Carl, before you finish answering your question, I do have a funny story that just sparked my... I think you might like this.
Yeah.
So, I'm working for a local agency. I get dispatched to a fire, and it burns down this whole shop. Very expensive.
Ah.
Right?
Oh, man.
Little while later, get news from the hospital that a gentleman had showed up there with burns. [laughs]
[laughs]
Oh, no.
He and his bu- two- two guys show up at the hospital with burns. He and his buddy had been, uh, out maybe fueling up their cars. [laughs]
[laughs]
Oh, man.
In some, uh, five-gallon gas cans, and decided we- we probably ought look and see how much we got. Right? Instead of filling the can-
Yeah
... and going, "Ooh, that feels almost full."
No.
So, what do they do?
Ugh.
Light their lighter up, but- [laughs]
Yeah.
And boof!
I knew that- I knew that's what you were gonna say.
Oh, man. [laughs]
That was years ago. And knowing the guy, he's probably almost got that shop paid off today. [laughs]
[laughs] That's... Oh.
Oh,
man. Oh my. Oh my word.
So don't go out and do midnight auto stuff.
[laughs]
No.
That's the lesson to learn here.
If you do, bring a frah- a flashlight.
[laughs]
Mechanics always have a flashlight. Come on.
Ugh.
My word. Oh, my word.
And th- the other moral of that story is gas was expensive then, too. [laughs]
[laughs] And from what I've heard, getting burned sucks.
Oh.
Yeah.
Can you imagine?
Yeah. Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
Not fun. Not fun.
Junior, I'm on fire! [laughs]
[laughs]
Oh, man. [laughs]
My feet are on fire!
I have tell you a story off-air if- if you- if you didn't hear it.
[laughs]
It's not me. Doesn't have to do with me, but-
Okay
... someone- someone else-
Yeah. [laughs]
... that you know. [laughs]
[laughs] Ugh.
Ugh. Oh, boy.
All right.
So- so yeah, it's like I- I pick up this car, can I drive this to the farmer?
We didn't get him off-track. He's still right on track. [laughs]
[laughs]
No. Yeah.
[laughs]
If I- if I do it the legal way and pay the farmer the 500 bucks, uh, can I drive this to my house? Is there a leeway where you don't need registration and insurance? Like, if you just bought the vehicle from this guy, can I drive it to my house without having it registered, insured, plates, all that?
This is the interesting thing. If you buy it in-state with an Idaho title, you don't need registration-
Yeah
... for seven days. You can go in-
Okay
... any time w- after, you know, before seven days, get a temporary registration. If you buy it out-of-state, you get 21 days. [laughs] So, I don't know how that works.
Okay.
But-
Huh
... what doesn't fly is you have to have insurance on the vehicle, because th- there's no grace period there.
Okay.
If you was to get in an accident and it was your fault-
Right
... who's going to pay for that if... You know.
Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
So, always call your insurance agent with the, uh, VIN number. Say, "Hey, I'm picking this car up. I'm not going to be able to register it till this day, but I need insurance on it." They'll give you some insurance to get home.
Right. Okay. Good deal. Good to know. Good to know. Right on. Sweet. I'll carry that flashlight with me, 'cause, uh, yeah, lighters. Yeah.
[laughs]
How full is that thing? [laughs]
Yes. If anybody's learned anything from this program, fire and gas don't go together, okay?
No. No.
[laughs]
Bad combo.
[laughs] It is, too. Oh, my word. It takes all kinds, right?
[laughs]
Yeah. Right on.
Can you imagine this?
Well, hey, you guys-
They're sitting there going, "Man, this was a great idea right up till that point."
[laughs]
Yeah. [laughs] Oh, man.
Oh.
No doubt. All right, on. Well, you guys have a good weekend and, uh, yeah, you guys hitting the fair this weekend or you had enough of it or...
Uh, I'm- I'm thinking about hitting the fair tomorrow, so-
Where's your button over there, the big "No!" [laughs]
Yeah. [laughs]
I don't have my buttons ready. [laughs]
Yeah. No doubt. [laughs]
Yes.
Yeah.
All right, on.
[laughs]
Well, sweet. Well, hey, you guys have a good weekend, man. We'll talk to you soon.
Right on. Thanks, Carl. You have a good one too, man.
All right. We'll see ya.
Peace.
You got it. Bye.
When he says soon, he means next Friday. [laughs]
[laughs] Yep. All right. 208-535-1015, the number to call for traffic school. All right. Coulter wanted to know, does the Idaho State Police offer a senior driving course?
[laughs] No.
No?
No. But it- it does become interesting. Now, one thing I'd like to cover on this, there does become a time for all of us that maybe that's out of our wheelhouse, right?
Mm-hmm.
We shouldn't be out on the road. That might be coming sooner for you than others. [laughs]
Today it feels like it. I'm tired. Should not drive while tired.
Uber. You could keep- use an Uber to work and back.
Uh, yeah.
Do you think they get up that early in the morning, bring you in?
I don't know. I've never, uh, I've never tried to call an Uber at th- at that hour of the day.
On weekends, isn't that the hour you're typically going home? [laughs]
[laughs]
So, hey, but here's the point I want to make, and we've used this throughout the years, is you can file through the Idaho Transportation Department, once again, that great agency, to, um, have somebody retested.
Oh.
And so if you have somebody that you think, "Oh, man, they're, they might be past their, their prime and they may not be safe on the roadway," you can file out, or fill out a form on their website and then they'll contact them and go out and retest them.
Could you just do that to people at random?
[laughs] No, unfortunately you can't. 'Cause if you could, I'd already done it for you. [laughs]
Yeah, I was gonna say-
[laughs]
... I know this really tall guy. [laughs]
[laughs]
You know, he's one of these out-of-state drivers.
[laughs]
Yeah. [laughs]
I think he should be retested. Actually, I think that they should, uh, require everybody to be retested every, like, five years or something. Just 'cause there's a lot of idiots on the road-
[laughs]
... and we need to get them off the roads.
A refresher course.
Yeah.
Yeah. I don't think it's a bad idea. I'm sure you guys could charge for it. Another way to just, you know, get more dollars out of us.
Oh, I tell you-
Yeah.
I did get a call this week. That reminds me, I got a call this week. And, you know, we talk about this a lot. Whose responsibility is it to yield when you're on the highway or interstate and you get to an on or off-ramp, right? So you're on the on, the on-ramp's coming on the interstate or highway. Whose responsibility is it to yield? And we've discussed this many times. It's the person getting on's responsibility.
Yes.
Now, the conversation come up that an officer told this gentleman, "Hey, they can either break and slow down, get in behind you, or speed up and get ahead of you." Right?
Mm-hmm.
We'll finish that after these phone calls and I'll...
Kay Bear, you're live on Traffic School, powered by The Advocates. Yeah, my strobe light wasn't working.
[laughs]
I'm sitting here looking at you. Didn't realize there was people calling.
Why do you look at me that way? [laughs]
I don't know.
Y- you need to do your job, Victor.
Hey!
You've got one job, and that's answering my phone call.
How dare you? I've got at least one other job. [laughs]
[laughs]
Yeah, you do. Play good music.
Have his finger over that dump button. [laughs]
That's right.
Need to make it a requirement to do driver's ed before a driver's license, period. None of this 17-year old, oh, you can get a driver's license stuff. Driver's ed requirement.
Yeah, do you have to... I mean, you have to pass the test, right?
Yeah, you have to take the test. And, and it's interesting, these younger kids, a lot of them don't want their driver's license, right?
Yeah, but the test is-
I just had a gentleman tell me.
The test is designed for everybody to pass it, period.
You think, you think that the test is too easy, Lieutenant Crane?
The test is too easy.
[laughs]
Especially when I have so many people around me that cannot drive when I'm, got a big trailer behind me.
Yeah, a lot of people don't realize, uh, how long it takes to brake with a large trailer.
Some people can be bit smart.
17,000 pounds does not stop very easily. It's... [laughs]
Yeah, I mean, I, I totally agree that everybody should have, uh, more testing, 'cause there are a lot of morons out there. People be dumb.
Morons. [laughs]
[laughs] Victor will be sending you a bill-
And there's more of them
... for a counseling session. [laughs]
That's right.
You're welcome.
Right on, gentlemen. You guys have a wonderful day.
Hey, you too. Good to hear from you, man.
Yep, you-
208-535-1015, the number to call Traffic School.
So I'll finish that up. The officer told this gentleman, uh, "Hey, they can either brake or speed up." Right? And that's a, that's a correct answer. They're responsible to get into traffic without disturbing the flow of traffic.
Yes.
But he said, "Well, if I'm doing the speed limit and they speed up, they're speeding." My answer to that was this. If they need to speed up a little bit because it's congested behind you to get in a gap and an opening and not disturb the flow of traffic, let's let them get there and then slow down. That doesn't give you the right to speed the rest of the way down the highway-
Yeah
... but at least get in without disturbing the flow.
Yeah, that's that officer discretion thing.
Yeah.
You know, if you see something that makes sense-
[laughs]
... you know, a little bit of common sense, you're probably not going to get pulled over for it.
It sure doesn't work out if the speed limit's 70 and you're, uh, doing 70 and trying to make a gap ahead of them. [laughs]
Yeah. Yeah.
How many of us get frustrated when two semis are trying to pass, one's doing 65 and the other one's doing 66?
I hate that. I hate it.
[laughs]
Yeah, it's, it's very aggravating. But, uh, what do you do? You sit there and just waste time sitting on the road. It's what I've been doing lately.
Killing time.
Clint Black, baby.
Wasting time. Yeah. 208-535-1015, the number to call for Traffic School, powered by The Advocates. Uh, Kenneth wants to know, what are the requirements for a tow vehicle to have a brake controller? Is it a legal requirement?
Like, on the end of a chain?
Like, I'm, I'm assuming it's like, you know, in my truck, I've got that, uh, the, the brakes, it's a separate device that will-
Yeah
... uh, control the brakes for, like, a camper. You know, a brake controller?
Yeah.
On a towed vehicle?
Yeah.
Do you have to have it?
No, no, it... If it's on a dolly, it's going to be cradled in the dolly, so it has to stop-
Mm-hmm
... with the truck stopped. If it's on a chain, we don't want you to have the brake controller. We want the vehicle pulled, having its own brakes.
Yes. Okay. So not a legal requirement, but, uh, could be recommended. Um, yeah. I know with, uh, my camper, if the brakes were not working, that would have sucked. All right. Kay Bear, you're live on Traffic School, powered by The Advocates. Who's this?
This is Curtis. How are you guys?
Curtis, I'm okay. [laughs] I'm not great.
I appreciate your, I appreciate your honesty. [laughs]
[laughs] I'm decent.
Well, I have a question. If you're heading towards Swan Valley on Highway 26 and you've got a couple of opportunities to get over and let cars pass you-Um, as, as I get over in the right lane, there's a spot that's a pretty short opportunity for people to get around ya. I- is it my obligation to find my way back into that left lane and run that car off the road? [laughs] If they won't get in front of me?
W- well, the question is are you doing the speed limit?
Yes.
Yeah. So if you're doing the speed limit, you can't impede traffic. So they need to just be patient and find the time. And there are some places out there where there's passing zones that they can get around you. If you choose to pull off the road and let, let cars by, it's your responsibility to yield to get back into your lane.
Okay. Th- so it's the same as an on-ramp, getting on a main highway?
Absolutely. Yep.
Okay. That's my question.
Okay. There you have it.
All right, man. Appreciate the call.
I'm, I'm simple. [laughs]
[laughs]
Thanks, guys. Keep up the good work.
Hey, thanks, man. Have a good weekend.
You guys too.
See yeah.
Hey, I, uh, I thought of another country song that fits you just right. It's called Wasting Time by Colt Ford.
Let's see if we got that in the system.
Wasting Ti- no.
By Colt Ford.
There's just a song called Wasting My Time.
[laughs]
Which is, that's the story of my life this week.
Yeah.
Wasting my time.
Colt Ford's a, uh, was a professional golfer. Now he's, he does country rap. It's kind of a country wrap song.
Country rap?
Yeah.
Okay. I mean, I've heard, I've heard of Colt Ford. I just, I don't, I don't know if I've heard his, his music. Country rap doesn't really sound like my jam.
[laughs]
But wasted time does.
Yeah, that's what I do.
[laughs]
It's the story of my life. Uh, K-Bear, you're live on Traffic School. Who's this?
This is Josie.
Josie, what's up?
Not much, not much. Enjoying the show. I wanted to, uh, revisit the first caller and, uh-
[laughs]
... Lieutenant Crane mentioned when you're in custody. Now, what's the difference between being detained and in custody? Because they put cuffs on you when they detain you for their security.
That's correct. Good, good question. So if you're detained, you'd still, if we're gonna ask you anything about what we're investigating, you would, n- uh, be, um, that's a great time for Miranda, right? We shouldn't be asking you any questions if we got you in handcuffs 'cause if you're detained, you're not walking away. You're not free to go.
Right.
Yep. But you're absolutely right. If we're out there by ourselves, we're searching the car for contraband or something like that and we handcuff you and put you in the back of the car to know where you're at and control you while we conduct business, then you're detained. If the, and, and a lot of times, even if we find stuff, then we cite and release so the handcuffs come off. But if you're arrested and you, it, so the bottom line with Miranda is, if you are not free to leave, if you cannot just walk away from that conversation, you, you deserve Miranda.
Okay. Okay. Well, I appreciate you making that clear.
Well, we appreciate you calling this program.
[laughs]
Hey, anytime. Anytime. I also wanna give you a, give out a shout to Lieutenant Crane there. I've seen him do some live things and everything for local schools and whatnot, and he, he, he is a part-time auctioneer. I don't know if you know that.
[laughs]
[laughs] I do know this. [laughs]
[laughs] Yeah, so I'm a starving cop. If you need a auctioneer, please call. [laughs]
Yeah. Like you need someone to host the rodeo, maybe some races, build you a house.
[laughs]
You know, put some, uh, you know, air conditioning or heat in. How many other jobs you got?
[laughs]
Well, you know, well, we need to get him on the microphone to call one of these football games. I think he'd be a better commentator than what the high schools have up there sometimes.
[laughs]
Ah. Yeah, n- un- unprofessional. That's what they got going on over there. Lousy broadcasters.
Yeah. [laughs]
[laughs]
Give us some, uh, auctioneer action real quick.
Yeah, yeah. Sure.
Come on, come on.
Now you're putting me on the spot.
Yeah.
Yeah, give me $100 bill now. Do you do it? I do $100 bid. And now do 90 day... Okay.
[laughs]
Now you got me on the spot. I need to refocus. [laughs]
[laughs]
I need to refocus. That was horrible. All right.
Yeah.
Oh, you really want me to do it?
Oh yeah.
I got a $100 bid now. Do now $200. Need the two $200 bid now. Two now $200. Give me two now. Two $200 bid now too. [laughs] I got two now. Two 25.
[laughs] Just raising my hand every time.
25 now. $25 bid.
[laughs]
Need a $2,500 bid and now 25.
[laughs] Well, you still there caller?
Yeah, I'm still here.
All right. Just wanna make sure you heard that. [laughs]
[laughs]
Oh, yeah. I heard that. I heard that. It'd be nice to have some caller commentary on the football games, you know?
Hey-
L- look at this running back speed by in like he's a Lamborghini-
Let's see how to-
... going around a, going around a beetle or something.
How about we do that? All right, ladies and gentlemen, he's a running back. He's going past the 50 now, the 55, now 60, now 65, now 70, 75 down at 75.
[laughs]
He's at the $75 yard-
[laughs]
... 75 yard line now 80. [laughs]
[laughs]
But the problem is it goes 50 down, right? So y-
Yeah.
How do you do that?
Y- that's right. That's true.
So you'd have to start at 10. And that running back is at the 10, now the 12, now 13. [laughs]
[laughs]
Ugh.
See what, see what you've caused on this program, sir? We're out of control. Spiraling out of control.
Just making it more enjoyable-
[laughs]
... helping you out.
Well, we appreciate the call, man, and hope you have a good weekend.
You bet. You gentlemen have a great day. Thank you.
Hey, thanks, man. See you.
Bye.
All right. 208-535-1015, the number to call for Traffic School, powered by The Advocates. Amazingly, this week, I didn't even ha- even have any dumb questions for you lined up. Usually I got some kind of snide, you know, thing I was gonna, uh, bring up but, uh, yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm not really, uh, seeing anything here.
[laughs] You haven't really done anything. [laughs]
I've just been wasting time all week. You know, I could have been digging up all kinds of content for this show but I was just wasting time.
Oh, wasting time.
Ah.
[laughs]
Well, last call, everybody.
[laughs]
208-53-
I'm shutting this thing down and going home. [laughs]
That's right. I've had it. I've had it with this place. [laughs]
[laughs]
208-535-1015, the number to call for Traffic School. Uh, anything coming up that the community might wanna be aware of?
I, I-
Weren't you guys doing some kinda crap sometime soon or something? [laughs]
Hold on just a second. You are on the air how many hours every morning?
Four.
Four, so that's times five, that's 20. So, you talk about wasted time, 20 hours a week and you get paid for 40?
Now,
I, it-
[laughs]
... it was the other hours of the day that I was wasting time, and I was working, it was just a complete waste of time.
It was on the wrong stuff. [laughs]
And just hopefully, the other person who did the same exact thing I was doing did as good a job as I was doing.
And they learn how to follow directions next time.
Ugh.
Yeah. So let's cover this. You asked about what's coming up.
Yep.
Once again, hands-free emphasis patrol going on right now. Put your cellphones down. Pay attention. Drive safe. If you're coming from the fair or going to the fair, add time to your travels. Add some following distance. Be patient. Have some patience, right? If at all possible, next Friday stay away from Rexburg on the sou- uh, on Highway 20. If you do need to go into Rexburg, blow past. Well, don't blow past. Drive, drive slowly past the south exit. Drive slowly past the, uh, middle exit. Go up to the north exit and go into town. It's probably not gonna be near as busy. And last thing I would say, don't even try to go to Walmart [laughs] that weekend, right?
Oh, geez.
[laughs]
That sounds like a nightmare. [laughs]
Maybe you and I ought to go do a live broadcast there.
Live broadcast in Rexburg?
At Walmart, not Walmart. [laughs]
I think I actually have to do a live broadcast at Walma- not in Rexburg, though. I think it's in, uh, Chubbuck next week, if I recall correctly.
Yeah, because they're not doing a very good business right now.
[laughs]
They need to advertise. [laughs]
And nobody goes to Walmart. Uh, I, I think it's for, uh, Idaho Preferred, so we're talking Idaho products.
Oh.
You know?
Yeah.
I'm guessing potatoes. [laughs]
[laughs]
What other products do we have?
I'm just throwing that out there.
[laughs]
All right, everybody, catch us next week. Traffic School, powered by The Advocates. Thanks to everyone who called. I think, you know, that whole hands-free thing, you know? I think we might have some listeners that occasionally call while they're driving.
They'll say, "We'll wait 'til next week." [laughs]
[laughs] Yeah, next week when they're not doing the hands-free patrol. Yeah, be careful out there, everybody. Be safe. Have a good weekend, and I'll be back in a minute.
