Do You Work Here?

You scream, I scream, we all scream for ice cream! It's time to learn about Mike's favorite ice cream brand with a trip to the Thrifty factory! It's been sold for decades and has become a favorite - especially around Southern California. We'll talk about what goes into making those classic flavors and about the unique shape to the Thrifty scoop. Do you want a single? Or a double?

It's time to go to a basketball game! Actually, two basketball games. We're at Crypto.com Arena for a double header. Ignacio Guerra takes us through all the work that goes into switching courts, baskets, chairs, and banners -- in just a couple hours. And the ice for hockey? Look under the mat.

Put on your gloves and grab some clams because we're taking a trip to the The Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach to prepare food for the sea otters! They get restaurant quality meals each day and there's a whole team of people helping out. Cuteness overload? Yep! But otters can also be pretty feisty. Also, did you know they have pockets?

We're back for another round of jobs and for our first episode, we're hitting the hot dog highways with two drivers of the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile! What's it like to drive a giant hot dog? How do you even get a job like this? We'll ask Angus Ann and Allie Dog -- it's an opportunity to relish!

We've got more new episodes coming in a few weeks, but for the holidays, Mike is stopping by the big USPS processing center in Los Angeles for a look at how many gifts we're sending to our friends and family this time of year. We'll meet Daniel Hirai, George Banks and Mark Robinson to take a tour of a building that's the size of twenty-nine football fields.

We're going to space! Well, actually, we're going to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena to check in with the Voyager team.

It's been forty-six years since Voyager 1 and 2 launched and we're still in contact! We'll talk with Linda Spilker and Suzanne Dodd, who can take us from the 70's and 80's right up to today. What have the Voyager probes seen? What have they heard? These two spacecraft are the most distant human-made objects from Earth.

This episode is our season finale, but let Mike know what you want him to get a closer look at next season: [email protected]

We're busy as bees this week! Well, we're as busy as beekeepers... because we're going to do some "urban beekeeping" with a company called Best Bees.

We'll put on our gloves and a bee suit for protection and get up close with some hives... in a place you wouldn't expect.

Carrie Diaz is our beekeeper. More about Best Bees at BestBees.com.

Time to go to the car shop! But we're not here for an oil change. This week, we're talking car restorations and EV conversions. Have you ever seen an old Mercedes with a new engine and heated seats? What about an electric Porsche or Volkswagen Beetle?

Ralph Biase is the CEO of Titan Car Restoration, he also hosts Geared Up on Motor Trend and can pretty much do whatever you can dream up!

We'll also check out a very rare truck...with a secret compartment for your fishing poles.

It's bath time! But not that kind of bath. We're taking a sound bath. 

This week, Mike joins Yogis on the Move, a company that brings classes into workplaces and apartment communities. We'll meditate and hear about the benefits of getting washed with sound waves and vibrations.

Bring your mat, and hang out on the floor!

Suze Q is our instructor. You can find her on Instagram at @Suzeqrocks.

We'll also learn a little about Yoga for first-timers with Jessica Kang, the founder of Yogis on the Move.

This week we're digging up some fossils! But we don't have to go far, because one of the most active dig sites out there is actually right in the middle of Los Angeles!

We're talking about the La Brea Tar Pits, where a surprising amount of specimens from the Ice Age have been discovered over the last hundred years.

We're joined by Laura Tewksbury, Sean Campbell and Stevie Morley, who all work at the Tar Pits, part of the Natural History Museums of LA County.

No bones about it, this is a fun one!
