This week on Small Town Ruckus, Kaid, Casey, and Tracy somehow manage to keep things (mostly) on track while sitting down with Idaho District 35 Representative Mike Veile. From campaign talk to small-town stories, it’s a mix of politics, laughs, and the kind of side tangents you’d only expect from Caribou County locals.

Whether you're tuning in for the insight or just here for the ruckus, this episode has a little bit of everything—minus the boring parts.

🗳️ Don’t forget to vote on May 19th in Caribou County—because your voice matters, even if our hosts occasionally talk over each other.

Tune in, share it with your neighbors, and get ready for another round of Small Town Ruckus.

Welcome back to Small Town Ruckus.

It’s primary season, and we’re continuing our conversations with candidates who are asking for your vote. Today, we’re joined by Idaho 6th District Judge Cody Brower.

Judge Brower is wrapping up his first term on the bench, and in this episode, we talk about what that experience has actually been like—what surprised him, what he’s learned, and how the role has shaped his perspective on the community and the justice system. We also get into why he’s decided to run for re-election and what he believes he brings to the position moving forward.

As always, this isn’t about endorsements—it’s about giving you the chance to hear directly from the people whose names you’ll see on your ballot.

So let’s get into it—this is our conversation with Judge Cody Brower.

⚠️ Heads up: language is present. Pop in the earbuds if the kids are around.

The Small Town Ruckus — Episode: Hot Springs, Hot Takes & Hotter Plates with Travis Nay

Tracy, Kaid, and Casey are back to stir up another round of small-town shenanigans — and this week we're hauling our nonsense over the hill to Lava Hot Springs to chat with the one and only Travis Nay. Travis is the man behind Riverwalk Thai, Tilly's Pizzeria, and his most recent addition, The Chuckwagon Restaurant — which means he's feeding the masses, juggling kitchens, and somehow keeping his sanity while the tourists roll in by the tube-load.

We get into the real stuff: what it's actually like running multiple restaurants in a town that swells and shrinks with the seasons, how you go from slinging pad thai to pizza to chicken-fried steak without losing your mind, the secret menu items locals swear by, and what it takes to keep small-town eateries thriving when your cook just called in sick and there's a line out the door.

Expect tangents. Expect laughter. Expect at least one story that makes you spit out your drink. The crew is in rare form, Travis hangs right in there with us, and the result is the kind of conversation that makes you wish you were sitting around the table with us.

⚠️ Heads up: language is present. Pop in the earbuds if the kids are around.

Pour yourself something cold, settle in, and join the ruckus.
