This morning I kicked things off by commiserating with you all about the weekend going by too fast. Mine was decent—watched some great programming, tackled snow duty, and spent time with family. The big story of the weekend was, of course, TikTok's return after the temporary ban scare. I shared some thoughts on how social media plays such a funny role in how we process events these days.

Speaking of news, I covered everything from local school closures—shoutout to the folks keeping up with the frigid weather—to ticket giveaways for the Disturbed and Three Days Grace concert coming up. If you're interested, fire up one of our station apps and get entered!

I also touched on random but relatable habits people refuse to do, like returning shopping carts or using turn signals. Oh, and if you're taking your pets on a trail, please clean up after them—horses included!

For entertainment, I gave a shoutout to some fantastic content I binged this weekend, like The Substance, which was wild in the best way, American Primeval on Netflix, and the cult favorite 10 Cloverfield Lane. A friendly reminder to my fellow couch potatoes: it’s okay to enjoy lazy weekends in this weather, especially after a good snow-clearing workout.

The show wrapped up with some random fun, like wild baby names inspired by Western themes, the awkward charm of middle school yearbooks, and an amusing but baffling viral story about a guy getting hit with a shovel. As always, we mixed in some great rock tracks and talked local eats—Masala Indian Cuisine in Rexburg sounds worth a drive!

Oh, man—what a morning! I kicked off the show in a lazy haze with some Devin Townsend spinning in the background. Honestly, if you're not starting your day with some progressive tunes and a bit of caffeine contemplation, what are you even doing? Anyway, I gave y’all the lowdown on my Thursday night: hanging out with my amazing lady watching American Primeval. Seriously, if you're into Westerns, this show is top-notch. And then, after she called it a night, I dove headfirst into Joker: Part 2. Is it weird? Oh, absolutely—but in the best way. I mean, it’s got everything: musicals, twisted love, and a big ol’ smile on my face while I try to predict the ending without spoiling it for anyone.

From there, I hit you with some cat content because, let’s face it, cats are life. A grumpy old man of a cat decided to step up and become the surrogate mother to a couple of orphaned kittens, and let me tell you, it was beyond heartwarming. Like, who doesn’t need a good “grumpy cat turns soft” story in their day? We also talked about things that are good for your mental health—like actually getting sleep (ironic considering how much I clearly wasn’t sleeping). Decluttering came up too, which, honestly, felt like the internet taking a jab at my existence. And we had a full-on discussion about how I’ll never eat ramen again after my broke college days. Not even the fancy ramen from the nice restaurants. Nope, not doing it.

Now, for my Tool-loving listeners, I dug into some new music with a band called Kolm. Tool fans are a passionate crew, and these guys had a definite Tool vibe—maybe too much. But hey, I’ll give them a chance while I plow through work after the show. Plus, nothing wrong with finding inspiration in the greats, right? Oh, and speaking of music, I officially launched the ticket giveaway for Disturbed, Three Days Grace, and Sevendust! That show’s going to melt faces, so if you haven’t downloaded our app yet, what are you even doing? Entries are live right now.

We even took a side quest into the world of farming and raw milk. Could you see me milking a cow? Spoiler: I’d probably run before the first squirt. But hey, the idea of putting on some overalls, grabbing a straw hat, and attempting my best "Red Dead Redemption in real life” sounds fun... as long as someone else is cleaning the barn.

And then there was Freak News—classic bad decision headlines. Don’t twerk on airplanes in uniform. Don’t sell crack at rehab centers. And for the love of all things holy, avoid bootleg alcohol unless you enjoy playing the game of “will this kill me?” We wrapped it up with laughs, calls, and a little wholesome weirdness—like “Pothole Land” in the UK. Yes, that’s a real thing.

This episode of Traffic School Powered by The Advocates Injury Attorneys, hosted by Viktor Wilt and Lt. Marvin Crain, features a lively and engaging discussion about driving rules, local traffic regulations, and humorous interactions with callers.

Here are the highlights from today's episode:

Lieutenant Crain in the House: The episode starts with Lieutenant Crain ready to address driving questions, emphasizing that roads have been decent and not snow-laden. He jokes about phones now working properly, allowing seamless caller participation.

Caller Highlights:

1. A caller asked about navigating a "diamond intersection" in Rexburg and clarified that turning right on a red arrow is not allowed.
2. Another caller humorously inquired how many laps one can take around a roundabout before it would raise suspicion. Lieutenant Crain noted that discretion varies by officer.
3. A debate about highway merging stressed the responsibility of drivers entering from an on-ramp to seamlessly join traffic without causing disruption.
4. Questions about the duration and timing for using turn signals revealed the rule of signaling for five seconds or the equivalent safe distance before lane changes.
5. Driver Etiquette and Law Enforcement:
   • The importance of maintaining courtesy, such as staying out of the left lane unless passing, was stressed.
   • Discussions touched on when and how to escalate speed or slow down when signs indicate changes. Drivers are required to adhere to the limits only once the relevant signage is reached.
   • Lieutenant Crane provided insights into the funding from citations, clearing up misconceptions that police departments gain revenue from traffic tickets.
6. Humor and Relatability:
   • Callers injected humor, including tales of hypothetical road pranks and comical misunderstandings about the law.
   • Anecdotes about overloaded horse trailers, multiple flat tires, and rogue kittens offered some lighthearted breaks.
7. Safety Tips:
   • Emphasis on safety measures such as keeping clear of poorly maintained roads in winter and ensuring proper lane discipline to prevent hazards.

The episode wrapped up with callers expressing gratitude for the humor and advice, while hosts reflected on a busy and fun-filled session. Stay tuned for the next Traffic School episode!
