The streaming platform Tubi is greenlighting a new adult animated series called "Breaking Bear." The show is described as a parody of mobster dramas that combines elements of Yogi Bear with shows like "The Sopranos." The series will follow three bear siblings who decided to start selling drugs in order to save their home after companies start fracking next to where they live. Tubi Chief Content Officer Adam Lewinson said when the show was pitched to him, he knew it was an offer he couldn't refuse.

A homeowner in California's Silicon Valley is tired of people crashing their cars into his home. Ray Minter moved into his house in 1960 and he says since 1972, 23 people have crashed onto his property. He blames it on the fact that an off-ramp from a freeway built in 1972 leads to his street. Minter says drivers misjudge their speed coming off the freeway, including one who was going over 100 miles an hour and totaled his pickup truck when he slammed into a protective barrier of large rocks. Ray Minter is asking the city of San Jose to do something about it.

A DoorDash driver in Columbus, Ohio, is off the job after a customer got an unexpected extra item. Along with the rest of his order, the customer found a small bag containing marijuana. The customer, who wishes to remain anonymous, says the driver returned a short time later to offer him a full refund in exchange for the bag. Instead, the customer contacted DoorDash--and police. DoorDash says the driver has been removed from the platform. Police are gathering more information on the incident.

There was an accidental call to 9-1-1 the other day from a zoo in California. The caller was a monkey. The female Capuchin [[ CAP-poo-CHEEN ]] monkey lives at the Conservation Ambassadors Zoo to You near Paso Robles, California. The monkey apparently picked up a cellphone that was left in the zoo's golf cart. She started messing around with it and somehow dialed 9-1-1 and then hung up. When dispatchers tried to call and text back, they didn't receive a response, so Sheriff's Deputies were sent out to investigate. When they realized what had happened, one deputy said it was understandable because, "Monkey see, monkey do."
