The Small Town Ruckus: Three Voices, One Small Town, Endless Stories

Tracy, Casey and Kaid are back and this week they're opening up the barn doors and welcoming a very special guest — Grace Majors, local veterinarian at Soda Springs Animal Clinic. Whether you've got a house cat, a herd of cattle, or something in between, chances are Grace has seen it, treated it, and probably has a story about it.

The Small Town Ruckus trio — Tracy, Casey, and Kaid — sit down with one of Soda Springs' most trusted community figures to talk about what it's really like to be the local vet in a small rural town. From the heartwarming moments to the downright wild ones, Grace pulls back the curtain on a career that is equal parts science, grit, and pure love for animals.

They dive into what drew Grace to veterinary medicine, what a real day in her world looks like, and why choosing to serve a small community like Soda Springs means so much more than just treating animals. She shares what locals should be watching for seasonally among many other wonderful topics. 

Of course Tracy, Casey and Kaid wouldn't let her get away without sharing a memorable story or two from her years of practice — and let's just say small town vet life never has a dull moment.

If you love animals, love this community, or just love a good conversation with real people doing meaningful work — this one is for you.

The Mysterious Fate of C.B. Wilson Was it an accident — or something darker?

Guest: Bill Horsley, Local Historian

History doesn't always close neatly. Some stories linger in the margins of old newspapers, whispered between neighbors across generations, never quite resolved. The life — and suspicious death — of C.B. Wilson is one of those stories.
 

In this episode, we sit down with local historian Bill Horsley, who has spent years piecing together the record of this  figure. Who was C.B. Wilson? What did he mean to this community? And why do some believe his death was no accident?

We dig into the history, the rumors, and the unanswered questions surrounding a case that may never be fully closed. Bill brings the documents, the context, and the insight — we bring the curiosity. The truth, as always, is somewhere in between.

Listen in.

In Episode 2, the wives are back—and this time, they’re diving into the invisible chaos that no one talks about: the mental load.

Expect laughs, real talk, and a reminder that if your brain feels like 47 tabs are open at once… you’re definitely not alone.

 The Boys of the Ruckus And Cardinal Basketball

SHOW RATING (Normally explicit not anything more than normal)

This week on Small Town Ruckus, we finally did what listeners have been asking for… we handed the microphones over to the real bosses of the house. Our amazing wives Felisha, Tilly, and Lindsy joined us in the studio.

The ladies didn’t hold back. We talked about how they deal with us, behind-the-scenes podcast chaos, family life in a small town, and a few stories we probably shouldn’t have told.

Expect plenty of laughs, some friendly roasting, and a side of honest perspective from the women who know us best. If you’ve ever wondered what our wives really think about the podcast (and about us), this episode is one you don’t want to miss.

🎧 Tune in now and hear Felisha, Tilly, and Lindsy along with the ruckus boys on Small Town Ruckus!

In this lively and wide-ranging episode, The Small Town Ruckus reunites, unfiltered conversation that blends insight, humor, and heart.

They revisit earlier discussions around cannabis — this time digging deeper into the role medical professionals play in shaping responsible, informed conversations. From there, the dialogue expands into the importance of community, professionalism, and trust within emergency services, highlighting how those on the front lines balance duty with humanity.

Through personal stories, the group reflects on the emotional weight of their work — the moments that stick, the lessons that reshape perspective, and the connections that make it all worthwhile. It’s candid, thoughtful, and grounded in real experience.

As the tone shifts, so does the energy. The episode lightens with cultural exchanges, good-natured ribbing, and hilarious hunting stories that 
reveal both triumph and hard-earned lessons from the field. The laughter is genuine, the chemistry is natural, and the camaraderie shines through.

The conversation closes with a heartfelt call to action — encouraging listeners to stay engaged, support local initiatives, and continue building meaningful community connections, both on and off the mic.

This episode delivers reflection, resilience, and plenty of ruckus — all in one sitting.

This is a test to see if the episode will drop on apple podcasts and access through I phone...

Welcome back to Small Town Ruckus.

This week, we’re diving into a topic that’s generating a lot of conversation across our state — the Idaho Marijuana Initiative.

We had the opportunity to sit down with Caribou County Prosecuting Attorney Doug Wood and local ENT physician Dr. Kyle Gambrell to have an open, thoughtful discussion about what this initiative could mean for Idaho and for communities like ours.

This isn’t a debate, and it’s not a one-sided conversation. Our goal was simple — to talk through the pros, the cons, the legal considerations, the medical perspectives, and the potential impacts on our small towns. We know this issue brings strong opinions from all sides, and while we may not cover every single viewpoint, we worked to ask honest questions and present a balanced conversation.

No shouting. No grandstanding. Just real discussion.

So whether you already have your mind made up or you’re still trying to sort through the information, we encourage you to listen in, stay informed, and be part of the conversation.

This is Small Town Ruckus — let’s get into it. 🎙️

(Warning: Explicit Episode)

Well hey there, Ruckusville! Welcome back to The Small Town Ruckus — the only podcast where the town’s small, the takes are loud, and somebody’s uncle is definitely yelling at the radio right now. 

We’ve got a packed episode today. We’re recapping the Super Bowl — the commercials, the snacks, and yes… that Kid Rock performance that had half the town fired up and the other half asking, “Is this still halftime?” We’ll break it all down the only way we know how: with strong opinions and zero athletic credentials.

Then we’re heading straight from the stadium lights to the fluorescent glow of the Ruckusville Community Center for the legendary Show Dad Showdown  It’s less ESPN, more PTO energy.

We’ll also get into some real talk about our rural schools — the challenges they’re facing, why mentorship matters more than ever, and how sometimes the most powerful thing you can do for a kid is just show up and say, “Hey, I believe in you.” (And maybe help them with math homework we barely understand.)

Plus, we’re taking a stroll down Main Street to celebrate the local businesses that keep this town ticking — the hardware stores, diners, and auto shops that know your name, your vehicle’s strange noise, and probably your grandmother.

And since love is in the air — or at least in the seasonal aisle at the grocery store — we’ll wrap things up with Valentine’s Day plans, heart-shaped regrets, and a look ahead at what’s coming next for The Small Town Ruckus.

So grab your sweet tea, settle into that recliner, and turn the volume up just enough for the neighbors to wonder what you’re laughing at.

Let’s make some noise, Ruckusville. 🎙️

 Welcome back to The Small Town Ruckus, the podcast where the town is small but the chaos has frequent-flyer miles. Kaid just got back from Nashville—still wearing his Hey Dudes, still telling stories that start with “so I met this guy,” and acting like Broadway didn’t change him. And Mo? She’s fresh off a Mexican paradise vacation—tan, relaxed, and about three seconds away from reminding us how broke we are. She’s back in the lounge, glowing, hydrated, and absolutely not ready to deal with our nonsense. Buckle up, turn it up, and hide your passport—the ruckus is back.
