  • October 16th, 2026 - Six Cops Couldn't Catch A Pig, But A Chihuahua Nearly Took Down A Police Officer

    October 16th, 2026 - Six Cops Couldn't Catch A Pig, But A Chihuahua Nearly Took Down A Police Officer
    Oct 16 2026
    Welcome to another edition of Traffic School, where the laws of the road collide with questionable personal behavior, expensive diesel fuel, angry spouses, wild animals, and a group of people who apparently consider calling law enforcement in the middle of the night a perfectly acceptable recreational activity. Viktor Wilt and Lieutenant Crane kick things off with a discussion about radio presentation, explaining how a mellow song requires a mellow transition while a death-metal banger demands a completely different level of energy. Naturally, this leads to a brief investigation into Viktor's shirt, which appears to be fighting for its life, and the possibility that he should either buy larger clothes or lose weight. The Hulk Hogan fantasy of ripping the shirt off in a triumphant display of masculine glory is floated, but the garment remains intact, presumably because the economy has made replacement clothing a luxury item. Then the conversation takes a sharp turn into Viktor's recent behavior, including the alleged return to the wagon after an incident involving late-night calls to law enforcement. While watching Live on Patrol, Viktor witnessed officers in Tempe, Arizona, attempting to capture a wild javelina with a catch pole, joined at various points by multiple officers and two apparent civilian volunteers who decided that an already ridiculous situation needed additional participants. Viktor found this so entertaining that he called a friend at approximately 1 a.m., apparently delivering commentary about how the situation should have been resolved hours earlier. Unfortunately, the call was a butt dial, meaning the recipient got a surprise nighttime broadcast without even having to tune in. Lieutenant Crane contributes a story from his law enforcement career involving a search warrant, a supposedly intimidating Doberman, and a team prepared to deal with a potentially dangerous animal. The Doberman, however, had apparently decided that law enforcement was above its pay grade and hid beneath the master bedroom bed. The actual security threat turned out to be a Chihuahua that spent the operation biting Crane's ankles. One dog was a trembling furniture accessory; the other was a tiny ankle-destroying menace apparently operating under its own aggressive wildlife management policy. The hosts then discuss the joys of harassing friends, agree that giving someone a hard time can be a sign of affection, and casually entertain the idea of calling Lieutenant Crane in the middle of the night again. Listeners are advised not to imitate Viktor's behavior, which is probably the most responsible public safety announcement of the entire broadcast.The show then launches into Traffic School, powered by The Advocates Injury Attorneys, with the promise that listeners can call in with questions about traffic law and potentially win money. The first caller, Crazy Carl, arrives with a promotional agenda of his own: the upcoming Trunk Retreat event benefiting Toys for Tots. Last year's event reportedly attracted around 2,000 children and raised approximately $1,700 for the charitable cause, and Carl encourages everyone to participate regardless of what vehicle they drive. After a brief technical struggle involving baseball music, the conversation immediately returns to the kind of material that makes this show sound like a deposition conducted inside a malfunctioning comedy club. Carl asks whether he can drunk-dial the hosts at 1 a.m., and the hosts explain that they are not necessarily opposed to receiving calls, although the distinction between being buzzed and being drunk is not exactly a loophole anyone should be testing. From there, Carl describes a frustrating traffic situation involving a left turn, blocked lanes, and drivers who seem incapable of recognizing that another human being might be attempting to navigate an intersection. The story eventually reaches a moment in which Carl admits to briefly driving into oncoming traffic before moving into the middle lane, because apparently waiting for a safe opening was competing with his schedule and losing. The hosts roast him for his driving decisions, his age, and his inability to turn his neck, before the conversation somehow morphs into a discussion of sleeping positions, shoulder pain, and a spouse who slapped someone awake. This is the point at which the show establishes that even a question about road safety can somehow become an investigation into domestic battery. One caller's marital grievance becomes another person's criminal-law hypothetical, and everyone seems entirely comfortable with the transition.Things get even stranger when a caller asks Lieutenant Crane about red-dyed diesel fuel and a temporary suspension of certain restrictions. The discussion focuses on the reported 30-day change affecting diesel use, with Crane warning that the rules may differ when drivers cross into other states. The caller believes the savings could amount to roughly $1.50, ...

  • October 9th, 2026 - Naked River Pursuits, E-Bike Crimes, And The Coming Idaho Falls Apocalypse

    October 9th, 2026 - Naked River Pursuits, E-Bike Crimes, And The Coming Idaho Falls Apocalypse
    Oct 9 2026
    Welcome to Traffic School, the only morning radio program where the hosts show up looking like they were dragged out of a medically induced coma, a police lieutenant arrives to discuss actual law enforcement, and within minutes somebody is asking whether throwing fireworks into another person's car during a road rage incident is a misdemeanor or a felony. It is October 9, 2026, and the gang is running on approximately four hours of sleep, questionable midnight food deliveries, and the collective determination to make sure Idaho Falls becomes internationally recognizable for reasons that absolutely do not involve winning an award for civic responsibility. Viktor is exhausted because he stayed up late after emo night, ordered food instead of going to bed like a functioning adult, and apparently managed to turn off his alarm while unconscious. Fortunately, Ravonda woke him up before he could accidentally lose a race against Lieutenant Crane to his own workplace, which would have created the first-ever police recruitment event conducted entirely through a locked radio station door. Meanwhile, the prospect of Idaho Falls appearing on On Patrol: Live sends the studio into a spiral of anticipation, because nothing says community pride quite like hoping your friends, relatives, drinking buddies, and that one cousin nobody discusses at Thanksgiving get captured on national television doing something spectacularly regrettable. The hosts encourage everyone to head downtown and provide the cameras with something worth broadcasting, while Ravonda confidently announces that nobody will ever catch her running. This inspires a mental image of an actual police pursuit featuring a camera crew, a fleeing Ravonda, and Viktor providing commentary from a safe distance because running is apparently something he reserves for emergencies involving absolutely no alternative to walking. The conversation gets even better when they discuss whether the new police broadcasts will be available through a streaming service, ultimately discovering that viewers might be able to use a free trial to watch the entire city make questionable decisions without spending a cent. Why pay for scripted television when your own neighbors may be producing an unscripted crime drama in the parking lot?Then comes the first listener question, and it is a magnificent example of why nobody should ever underestimate the creative potential of someone who has been awake too long. Curly calls in to ask what kind of trouble a person could get into for dropping fireworks into somebody else's car during a road rage confrontation. Notice that the question isn't about how to calm down, exchange insurance information, or avoid escalating an argument with another motorist. No. Curly has apparently progressed directly to the hypothetical intersection of explosive devices, automotive property damage, and criminal sentencing. The hosts begin debating whether the fireworks are small firecrackers or something considerably more powerful, whether the incident would be classified as a misdemeanor, and whether the amount of damage could push it into felony territory. At one point, the conversation even drifts toward the possibility of spending time in county jail, which is treated less like a consequence of criminal behavior and more like a budget-conscious vacation package featuring free meals and an escape from the modern economy. Curly seems interested in finding the precise point at which his imaginary fireworks-based revenge operation becomes a felony, and the entire studio sounds as though it is one follow-up question away from accidentally producing the world's least responsible instructional seminar. To be clear, the conversation is comedy, not legal advice, and nobody should interpret it as permission to launch fireworks into another person's vehicle. The fact that this requires clarification is itself a powerful argument for the continued existence of Traffic School.Next, Eli calls to ask whether military vehicles are exempt from the normal obligation to merge safely when entering a freeway. Lieutenant Crane explains that an active military movement may involve an escort, but ordinary drivers entering the freeway still need to handle the merge appropriately. This triggers a discussion about what happens when somebody in an on-ramp lane decides to match the speed of traffic and simply expects the rest of the universe to rearrange itself around them. Viktor imagines a tank rolling onto the freeway, which naturally leads Ravonda to announce that Viktor himself resembles a tank. A debate about military vehicle privileges has somehow become a referendum on Viktor's body shape, and the studio wastes no time bringing Taco Bell into the proceedings. Lieutenant Crane points out that Viktor was complaining about the economy while ordering overpriced DoorDash at midnight, and Viktor attempts to blame Ravonda for the entire situation because she needed to use the restroom ...

    Sept 25th, 2026 - Golf Carts, Guns, Red Arrows, And One Extremely Angry Rexburg Driver
    Oct 2 2026
    This episode of Traffic School begins exactly the way a respectable discussion about traffic safety should begin: with a man returning from ten glorious days of refusing to look at his phone, immediately followed by a conversation about a monstrous nine-lane road that mysteriously collapses into three lanes and then dumps unsuspecting motorists into a roundabout with absolutely no lane markings. In other words, civilization has apparently decided that road design should now resemble a multiplayer video game where everyone is driving simultaneously and nobody has been told the controls. The discussion somehow wanders to gigantic roundabouts in Tijuana, mopeds, dented cars, and the terrifying experience of attempting to cross a street while feeling like you're starring in a live-action version of Frogger. This is the serene, educational atmosphere in which Traffic School begins its descent into madness.Then comes the first major legal question: the legendary Idaho “15 miles per hour over” myth. A listener asks whether drivers can continuously travel 15 miles per hour over the posted speed limit on a four-lane highway, and the answer is a devastating blow to everyone who has apparently been treating 85 miles per hour as the unofficial speed limit whenever the sign says 70. The explanation centers on passing on qualifying two-lane roads rather than granting humanity a federally subsidized license to absolutely blast down four-lane highways. Naturally, the hosts immediately acknowledge that plenty of people seem to believe otherwise, particularly during interstate travel through Utah, where apparently the concept of a posted speed limit is treated more like a polite suggestion printed on a decorative plaque.The phone lines then open the floodgates, producing question after question about turning lanes and red lights. One caller wants to settle an argument with his wife over whether you have to remain in your designated lane when making a right turn onto a two-lane road or a left turn onto a one-way street. The answer is yes, and the caller leaves victorious without ever having to tell his wife that the radio officially declared him correct. Then comes another perennial internet war: the red arrow. The hosts make it clear that a red arrow means you cannot simply perform the maneuver people have apparently been performing for years while screaming, “BUT THERE WASN'T A SIGN!” Traffic School has officially entered the online-comment-section dimension, where basic traffic signals become subjects of theological debate.And then there is Crazy Carl, a man so determined to become caller number 20 that he has apparently sacrificed his physical health, workplace productivity, spinal alignment, and possibly his career in pursuit of a Metallica vinyl record. Carl explains that he has been carrying his radio around all day trying to win, prompting a discussion about the tremendous lengths people will go to acquire concert tickets. The episode establishes that listeners can win Metallica vinyl and potentially get entered for tickets, meaning Carl's quest has now escalated from “fun radio contest” to “full-time occupation.” The hosts even contemplate a completely unofficial future giveaway based on how many times Carl says “seriously” or “oh man,” which may be the most beautifully unnecessary statistical study ever proposed on live radio.Carl then delivers the episode's first major historical detour by asking about seatbelts in old cars. Suddenly, Traffic School becomes a documentary about the terrifying childhoods of previous generations, where seatbelts were apparently optional, children were launched across back seats like loose cargo, cigarette ash flew through open windows, and Mom's arm served as the primary restraint system. The conversation turns to classic cars that were never manufactured with seatbelts and whether their owners are required to install them. The answer leads into a larger discussion about how aggressively people fought mandatory seatbelt laws, with the hosts laughing at old footage of people treating seatbelt requirements like an authoritarian declaration of war. Apparently, some citizens looked at a device specifically designed to prevent them from becoming a human projectile and said, “This violates my freedom.”The seatbelt discussion gets progressively more deranged when the show takes a detour into old traffic-safety studies. Lieutenant Crane describes sitting beside a busy intersection with two clickers, manually counting who was wearing a seatbelt and who wasn't. The image of a person spending an hour clicking two handheld counters while inevitably forgetting which hand represented “seatbelt” and which represented “no seatbelt” is almost too perfect. Modern surveillance technology has apparently liberated humanity from this highly sophisticated methodology, although that creates its own problems when law-enforcement cameras are misused. The conversation ...
