Speaker 1: It's brooken Jeffrey in the morning, and can we talk
Speaker 1: about that awkward moment when a zombie hungry for brains
Speaker 1: walks right by you. It doesn't even glance in your direction.
Speaker 1: It's rude, is what it is.
Speaker 2: It's a judging.
Speaker 1: It's how I feel when you guys don't say care
Speaker 1: during this segment. Care don't care? Where I read a
Speaker 1: catchy headline. See if my co hosts want to hear
Speaker 1: about it. Let's get into your first headline. Something crazy
Speaker 1: is happening for the first time ever in downtown Manhattan,
Speaker 1: and it's got people saying, Hey, I'm driving here, careen,
Speaker 1: don't care.
Speaker 2: I care just because of the terrible accent.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's we're pretty spot on. That is kind of rude.
Speaker 1: But it all started back in two thousand and seven
Speaker 1: when the mayor of New York City proposed a landmark
Speaker 1: program that people laughed at. Now, more than a decade later,
Speaker 1: it's actually coming true. Where if you want to drive
Speaker 1: through downtown Manhattan, not over a bridge or through a
Speaker 1: tunnel or anything like that, just drive down there regular streets. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you will be charged a toll. What they're calling it
Speaker 1: congestion pricing. Whoa, And it's the first program of its
Speaker 1: kind in North America.
Speaker 2: Is there like a certain street or is it any streets?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 2: When does the toll take effect?
Speaker 1: It happens during peak driving hours. If you're going to work.
Speaker 1: Starting next spring, you could be charged anywhere from nine
Speaker 1: dollars to twenty three dollars just to drive down Fifth
Speaker 1: Avenue day.
Speaker 2: WHOA, which people, Oh my god, don't park your car there.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it sounds ridiculous, but right now,
Speaker 1: each day, seven hundred thousand cars, taxis and trucks pour
Speaker 1: into Lower Manhattan, one of the busiest areas in the
Speaker 1: entire world, and it's one of the worst places for
Speaker 1: gridlock in the country.
Speaker 3: I mean, but honestly, like Jeffrey and I were just
Speaker 3: there in New York City and I was thinking to myself,
Speaker 3: why would anyone want to drive here? Yeah, there's so
Speaker 3: much public transportation, and all the cars do is sit
Speaker 3: and huk.
Speaker 1: The public buses are always late, that's how bad it is.
Speaker 1: And they ask to make New Yorkers lose one hundred
Speaker 1: and seventeen hours a year on average just sitting in
Speaker 1: traffic day. They're hoping street tolls will help cut down
Speaker 1: on that. London actually tried this strategy twenty years ago
Speaker 1: and congestion dropped by thirty percent. And in Stockholm, Sweden,
Speaker 1: they tried this in two thousand and seven and children's
Speaker 1: asthma visits fell by fifty percent because of the reduction
Speaker 1: and emissions alone.
Speaker 2: Wow, so we're just now jumping on the bandwagon here
Speaker 2: as well.
Speaker 1: Los Angeles is going to be next.
Speaker 2: Oh mans, let's.
Speaker 1: Go to your next one. It's official, the most bizarre
Speaker 1: thing ever discovered in a house's crawl space.
Speaker 2: I care my dad has spent so much time in
Speaker 2: crawl space as I care for him. Just for fun
Speaker 2: up there, Electrician.
Speaker 1: Oh that means yeah yeah. A guy in California named
Speaker 1: John Reyes was cleaning out the home of his late
Speaker 1: father in law when he discovered something fairly odd in
Speaker 1: the crawl space. He reached in and pulled out a
Speaker 1: big bag full of coins. He looked inside.
Speaker 2: That's amazing.
Speaker 1: They were all pennies. Oh okay, So reached in again,
Speaker 1: pulled out another bag, and another and another one million
Speaker 1: pennies later.
Speaker 2: No, wait, one hundred. How much money is that?
Speaker 1: It's ten thousand dollars, one million pennies. Later, John was like,
Speaker 1: what am I supposed to do with all these?
Speaker 2: You go to the grocery store where they do that coin.
Speaker 1: Chase start and can't do coinstar because they charge you
Speaker 1: eight percent.
Speaker 2: Okay, you take him to the bank and make him
Speaker 2: counting for you.
Speaker 1: But he was freaked out because they were stuck behind
Speaker 1: the wall in crates and boxes and dozens and dozens
Speaker 1: of bank bags just full of pennies. Here's a photo
Speaker 1: of it. Oh my, But apparently John's father in law,
Speaker 1: backers younger days, had a habit of collecting copper pennies,
Speaker 1: hoping they'd appreciate in value over time. So with one
Speaker 1: million pennies, like I said, valued around ten thousand dollars,
Speaker 1: and they reached out to a local bank. The bank
Speaker 1: refused to take them.
Speaker 2: Oh the bank doesn't even want pennies. That's money.
Speaker 1: So John finally decided to put it up on the
Speaker 1: website offer up selling it for twenty five thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: It's like a collection. Yeah, now why more than double?
Speaker 1: He says. The value of this is in its uniqueness.
Speaker 2: Well there could be. I mean, we've heard stories like
Speaker 2: old pennies that are worth tons of money, but who
Speaker 2: wants to be worth more? Who's sifting through a million
Speaker 2: of them to find the one that's work.
Speaker 1: But it's been up for a few weeks and so
Speaker 1: far no one has learned it.
Speaker 2: Well, can you imagine the shipping on that.
Speaker 1: Oh God, let's se if you care about this one,
Speaker 1: what's coming to La the unhappy meal? And nobody wants it?
Speaker 2: Don't care, care, There's no such thing, Jeffrey, I care.
Speaker 2: I care.
Speaker 1: Months ago, in the Highland Park neighborhood of La there
Speaker 1: was a culinary who done it, and we talked about
Speaker 1: this on the show, where already paid for food was
Speaker 1: inexplicably arriving via Uber eats on the doorsteps of an
Speaker 1: entire neighborhood.
Speaker 2: I remember that guy and they they didn't know what
Speaker 2: to do with it. It was so much.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, do you eat it? Do you complain
Speaker 1: about it? But it just kept coming, like sandwiches and
Speaker 1: spaghettis and meat loaf. It was happening for solid three
Speaker 1: weeks and then it just stopped. Okay, and nobody ever
Speaker 1: found out who it was from or why. But now
Speaker 1: something even more bizarre is happening to residents of the
Speaker 1: nearby Westwood Hills area.
Speaker 2: Okay, so different neighborhood, but not far a little bit
Speaker 2: nicer area.
Speaker 1: They're now getting dozens of unwonted orders of McDonald's French fries.
Speaker 1: The residents are calling it an unhappy meal, what with
Speaker 1: one neighbor receiving more than forty deliveries of fries and
Speaker 1: sausage mcgriddles every week.
Speaker 2: I gotta say those are going to reheat well though.
Speaker 1: But this time there's a theory for why it's happening. Oh.
Speaker 1: They believe it's the work of burglars sending food to
Speaker 1: sending food to wealthy houses to see if anybody's home.
Speaker 2: Really, I was just thinking it was a YouTuber who's
Speaker 2: trying to pull a funny break.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I mean is, mister bees, We're gonna.
Speaker 2: Send a one hundred thousand doubles Brooke Fox's house.
Speaker 1: Why.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I just have a lot of money
Speaker 2: and I need to spend it.
Speaker 1: The burglar theory is interesting because they could just be
Speaker 1: in a car down the street with binoculars and they'll
Speaker 1: watch them leave the food at the door and ring
Speaker 1: the bell to see if anybody answers and if the
Speaker 1: food just stays on the doorstep, then that means they
Speaker 1: have the green light to break in.
Speaker 2: But why would they order forty rounds of fries to
Speaker 2: one house.
Speaker 1: They're just figuring it out.
Speaker 2: There's no break in.
Speaker 1: They're very patient criminals.
Speaker 2: Why do his guys love fries so much?
Speaker 1: They keep Others think it might be a credit card
Speaker 1: fraud situation with someone buying stuff to see if the
Speaker 1: order goes through, and then they'll use it for better
Speaker 1: things to purchase. A rep for Uber Eat says they're gonna.
Speaker 2: Investigate, all right, I like my YouTube idea.
Speaker 1: Finally, Jeff's joke of the day, Karen, don't care where
Speaker 1: do spiders look for health advice? Where WebM e.
Speaker 2: They're even scared going on there?
Speaker 1: That's scared. Okay, we got your phone tap coming up
Speaker 2: Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
