For reason.tv: Gridlock
Drew Carey: Hi, I’m Drew Carey, here at the corner of Sunset and Highland in Los Angeles, California,
one of the worst intersections in all of Los Angeles. It’s only a quarter after 4:00. They already have a
traffic cop in the middle of the intersection directing traffic. He’s here all the time. The traffic goes all
the way back in each direction blocks and blocks. There’s no end in sight to it. Los Angeles, along with
a lot of other cities like Portland, San Francisco, Minneapolis, you know, traffic is the #1 concern, the #1
complaint among the people that live here and like a lot of places in America, it’s only going to get worse.
So, you live in LA, right?
Male Resident 1: I do.
Drew Carey: And what do you think about the traffic here?
Male Resident 1: It sucks.
Male Resident 2: It’s disgusting.
Drew Carey: Yeah. Everyone in LA complains about traffic but we didn’t want to talk too just anyone.
We wanted to talk to the poor soul with the most congested commute in LA. We asked John and Ken
from radio station KFI AM 640 for help.
DJ John: So we teamed up with Drew and the Reason Foundation to start the Most Congested Commute
here in the LA area.
DJ Ken: Remember, not the longest commute. Those of you who have been stuck in a whole lot of
traffic is what we’re looking for.
Drew Carey: And you can’t have a car driving you there either. I don’t want to hear from Harvey
Weinstein about how bad his commute is.
DJ Ken: I hear people say this. The no. 1 reason they’d want to move out of LA…..
DJ John: Traffic.
DJ Ken: …..is the traffic
Drew Carey: Yeah, but you guys like congestion because it keeps people listening to your radio.
DJ John: Yeah. No, we freely admit that.
