    September 11th, 2026 - He Deleted His Headlights To Feed His Turbo
    2026/09/16
    Traffic School returns with Lieutenant Crain, although apparently the relationship between the hosts has deteriorated to the point where one person doesn’t even remember the other is supposed to be coming in, and the other arrives slightly late just to prove a point. The show immediately spirals into a discussion about a man in San Francisco who tried to punch a guy walking his dog, only to discover that the alleged victim was a former Marine and martial arts instructor, leading to the timeless public-safety lesson that you should probably investigate the character sheet of the human being you are about to fight before initiating combat. From there, the conversation somehow mutates into cowboy fashion, fake Yellowstone cowboys, real cowboys, farm clothing, tennis shoes protecting cowboy boots, and Lieutenant Crane revealing that his wife once announced she hated cowboys shortly before discovering that the man she was dating was, in fact, extremely cowboy. Marriage: where your own opinions eventually become evidence against you.Then it is officially Traffic School time, powered by The Advocates Injury Attorneys, and the first major legal crisis arrives in the form of a windshield that has apparently been defeated by a construction-zone leaf blower. A caller traveling through the Highway 20 construction between St. Anthony and Rexburg says workers were using giant blowing machines to clear debris when a rock allegedly launched itself toward his vehicle and damaged his windshield. The question: can he sue Knife River? Lieutenant Crain explains that while someone can file a lawsuit or claim, actually proving responsibility is the difficult part. Was the rock directly blasted into the vehicle? Did another vehicle kick it up? Was it simply a road hazard? Was the leaf blower secretly a military-grade rock artillery system? Nobody knows. The caller does not have a dash cam, which is immediately identified as an unfortunate absence of evidence. The windshield damage is reportedly going to cost hundreds of dollars, creating a deeply American courtroom fantasy in which everyone briefly considers litigating over a rock launched by what may or may not have been the world's angriest leaf blower.The windshield discussion then somehow becomes a commercial for windshield repair, a scientific investigation into whether Viktor's enormous leaf blower could launch rocks, and an opportunity to discuss the miserable reality of Idaho driving: even after getting a windshield replaced, you can apparently get another crack almost immediately because Idaho roads have apparently declared war on glass. Another caller later adds an important wrinkle, explaining that road contractors may have provisions in their contracts or insurance arrangements for windshield claims. Lieutenant Crain recalls a previous Highway 26 construction project where road material caused numerous windshield breakages and the contractor's insurance ultimately covered the damage because there was substantial evidence that the construction itself was responsible. The practical takeaway becomes significantly less entertaining but much more useful: document what happened, contact the contractor, contact your insurance company if appropriate, and perhaps begin with a polite conversation instead of accusing a road worker of reenacting the Williams sisters with industrial landscaping equipment.The show then veers violently into vehicle-modification territory when a caller asks about something called a “headlight delete,” because apparently there are people who intentionally remove headlights from their vehicles and use the opening as an air intake for a turbocharger. Lieutenant Crane confirms that if a vehicle was manufactured with two headlights, both are required to be working, while motorcycles and certain other vehicles can have different requirements. This produces one of the most magnificent sequences of the episode, as everyone attempts to understand why anyone would remove a perfectly functional headlight to feed air to a turbo when the front of a vehicle already contains approximately seventeen million places where air can enter. Hood scoops are invoked. Grills are questioned. Windshields are briefly declared unnecessary. The concept of simply removing the windshield is floated as an aerodynamic alternative, despite the obvious problem of receiving a rock directly to the face. The caller then casually reveals that a large percentage of his automotive activities are misdemeanors, with perhaps two percent reaching felony territory, inspiring the proposed fashion statement: a jacket identifying him as a “98%er, 2% felony.”Then comes Chester's legendary traffic Bermuda Triangle. The discussion turns toward dangerous passing on Highway 20, impatient drivers attempting to overtake other vehicles even when a four-lane section is approaching, and the maddening phenomenon of passing someone aggressively only to arrive at the same stoplight in Ashton ...

  • September 4th, 2026 - 680 Pounds Of Beer Cans Somehow Made $20

    September 4th, 2026 - 680 Pounds Of Beer Cans Somehow Made $20
    2026/09/04
    This edition of Traffic School begins exactly where any responsible public-safety program should begin: with an extended investigation into the collapse of Kmart, the inflation-adjusted price of Little Caesars Hot-N-Ready pizza, the horrifying financial implications of diesel fuel, and the realization that a roll of Reynolds Wrap now costs enough money that aluminum foil has apparently become a precious metal. Lieutenant Crane is hanging out with Viktor, and the two immediately spiral into the economics of modern America, where a weekend road trip is now apparently a luxury reserved for oil sheiks and people who have discovered an abandoned refinery. Diesel prices have Viktor declaring that he is staying home, while Crane reveals his foolproof entrepreneurial strategy of drinking beer, crushing the cans, and selling the aluminum to finance more beer. This naturally evolves into Viktor discussing his attempt to stay off booze for the weekend, Crane suggesting that Viktor should simply move in with him and spend months becoming sober under police supervision, and Viktor proposing the much more reasonable strategy of hiding in his house with his cats, watching movies, drinking Mountain Dew, and refusing to encounter civilization. Once Traffic School officially begins, the show immediately becomes a public-service announcement wrapped inside a fever dream. With a holiday weekend approaching, listeners are encouraged to delay their departure long enough to call the program, because apparently camping spots will still exist several minutes later. The aluminum-can economy returns, complete with Crane's story about collecting 680 pounds of beer cans only to receive approximately $20.18 for his heroic labor, proving once and for all that capitalism has found a way to make physically transporting a small aluminum mountain somehow less profitable than simply leaving it in the garage. Then comes the first genuinely important warning of the episode: if you're planning on getting wild at a campground, remember that there may be cops camping nearby. They may not be wearing uniforms. They may be sitting in campers. They may be watching. The woods are no longer safe. The campground has become surveillance state: recreational edition. The first major traffic question concerns the subject that appears to have personally offended an entire generation of Idaho drivers: roundabouts. A listener asks how to properly navigate one, and Viktor essentially reduces the entire engineering achievement to, “Look left, and if it's clear, go,” while Crane dreams of creating a video in which Viktor is physically trapped inside a vehicle while Crane attacks a roundabout with enough enthusiasm to pin Viktor's face against the passenger window. The conversation then wanders into Idaho Falls road construction, a mysterious new South Boulevard roundabout, traffic studies, expanding roads, destroying everything standing beside them, and the general frustration of attempting to navigate a growing city without spontaneously developing a nervous twitch. The educational portion eventually establishes that drivers should use turn signals when appropriate, particularly when changing lanes or indicating their intentions, because the other people on the road may be spectacularly incapable of reading minds. Then the phones start ringing, and everything goes completely off the rails. One caller launches into an extremely enthusiastic complaint about an employee repeatedly arriving at work with beer cans falling out of her vehicle. Unfortunately, the caller deploys language that is far too spicy for terrestrial radio, forcing Viktor to frantically search for the dump button while apparently experiencing a near-fatal cardiac event. Crane jokes about needing to dispatch 911 because Viktor's heart has apparently stopped working, and the conversation becomes an accidental demonstration of why radio stations have emergency profanity buttons in the first place. The caller's daughter is also dragged into the situation, the dump button becomes a recurring character, and everyone seems increasingly concerned that the button has stopped lighting up. Meanwhile, Tractor Jeremy and Crazy Carl enter the picture, with the phone being passed around like a cursed artifact at a family reunion. Crazy Carl then delivers a photograph of Tractor Jeremy's tractor being pulled over by Bingham County law enforcement, although apparently this particular encounter occurred while they were doing something charitable. Crane grudgingly acknowledges that there are, in fact, some good cops, before Carl begins apologizing for the mysterious “Rexburg thing” from the previous week. Nobody can quite remember what the Rexburg thing was, Carl's medication apparently had not kicked in, and Viktor openly admits that conversations with Carl tend to evaporate from his brain the moment the call ends. Yet somehow, despite this, a future visit to the station is arranged, complete with ...

    This episode of Traffic School begins with what sounds less like a legitimate radio program and more like two men standing outside a post office trying to resurrect the concept of 19th-century bounty hunting. Wanted posters come up almost immediately, along with the horrifying realization that Speaker 1 apparently considers himself an “outstanding young man,” despite the conversation rapidly turning toward suspicious behavior, mysterious electricity usage, heat sensors, and a house glowing so brightly that the government apparently needs to be informed. The conversation then takes a hard left into neighborhood fire trucks, elderly neighbors, Arizona vacations, and an absolutely bizarre story that is teased but never fully revealed because apparently even Traffic School has standards somewhere deep beneath the basement floor. Then, suddenly, it is time for actual law questions.The first major legal crisis involves a supposed dine-and-dash, except the alleged criminal mastermind insists he actually paid. During a birthday dinner for Peaches, the restaurant payment system apparently displayed multiple tickets, the correct bill was selected, the payment was processed, the waitress confirmed everything was fine, and everyone left. Later, however, the crew discovered that another group had apparently departed without paying, while a friend had paid the original bill. The payment itself initially showed as pending, creating a spectacular bureaucratic nightmare in which one person had apparently paid, another person had apparently paid, and everyone was now wondering who had technically stolen dinner from whom. The discussion spirals into whether dine-and-dash can become theft, whether intentionally entering a business with the plan to steal food could constitute burglary, and whether eating more than $1,000 worth of food would transform the situation into grand theft. The answer, delivered with the confidence of a man who has already been accused of crimes he didn't commit, is essentially: Carl, stop committing felonies.The episode then produces an incredible flashback involving Pizza Hut and a police captain who generously offered to buy pizza for everyone after a day at the gun range. The captain paid for his own meal and the lieutenant's, then apparently vanished into the sunset while everyone else assumed the bill had been handled. The waitress eventually stopped the remaining group and revealed the horrifying truth: the captain had not actually paid for everybody. He had merely paid for himself and one other person, leaving the sergeant to discover that he had accidentally inherited an entire restaurant bill. It becomes a masterclass in the ancient law-enforcement technique of saying, “The other guy said he was paying.”Then comes an actual public-service announcement: school is back in session. Drivers are urged to watch the yellow flashing lights because ignoring them may result in the sudden appearance of red and blue flashing lights. The hosts discuss people flying down Alameda Road, children riding bikes and skateboards, kids on electric scooters, and the general nightmare of trying to navigate roads while children are simultaneously excited about returning to school and apparently operating under the assumption that traffic laws are more of a suggestion. The conversation emphasizes defensive driving, paying attention, adding time to your commute, and remembering that Idaho is still in the “100 deadliest days of driving.”Then the show returns to the crucial matter of parking your car facing the wrong direction. Apparently this is generally governed by city ordinance, leading to a story about Burley enforcing the rule with enough enthusiasm to become a recurring character in the episode. Speaker 1 recalls parking backward in front of his own house, only to have an officer come to his door and inform him that his vehicle was illegally positioned. Unfortunately, the story gets worse because the car also contained a garbage bag full of beer cans from band practice. Although the beer cans were apparently leftovers from the previous night and the driver wasn't intoxicated when confronted, the visual of a police officer approaching a car parked illegally backward in front of a house containing a suspicious bag of beer cans is objectively spectacular. Somehow, he received only a warning.That leads into the bizarre discussion of seat-belt enforcement, including the claim that a seat belt violation is generally a secondary offense but that Burley apparently operates according to its own mysterious gravitational field. The hosts joke about officers finding additional reasons to initiate a traffic stop, including broken taillights and speeding. A story about an 80-mph freeway on-ramp then gets dragged into the conversation, with the horrifying realization that admitting “I'm used to getting on the freeway at 80” may not be the optimal strategy when speaking to law enforcement. The segment ...
