Mike Simpson's a curious guy, more curious than most and he's in hot pursuit of answers. On "I've Got Questions with Mike Simpson," Mike tracks down people in the know to reveal how and why things are the way they are. Got questions? Email Mike at [email protected].
Hey everybody! It's our show's finale and we're talking about a job that Mike wishes he knew about earlier: master builder at LEGOLAND. Do you ever wonder how they build those cityscapes or dinosaurs? Or what kind of test you have to take to get such a fun gig? They go through millions of bricks and we're taking a tour of the workshop! Thanks for listening over all these weeks!
It's a museum day for us! We're headed to the Getty Center to talk to a team that tries to protect some of the priceless art from earthquake damage. Did you know that piece from antiquity in front of you might actually be on rollers? And some of them have ankle problems. We'll also dust off some really old books and talk about how the Middle Ages get a pretty bad rap.
Have you ever seen a surfing dog? Hanging ten with their paws? One of the top dogs out there is named Carson and we're going to meet up with him and Jill Nakano -- a surf dog instructor. We'll learn how all this started for these two champs, about how to get a pup on a board and about surf dog competitions. Get your Instagram pictures!
Join us for a trip to an LA original this week: the Original Los Angeles Flower Market downtown. If you can grow it -- and if it smells good -- this is where you'll find it. Florists come from all over town and go through millions of stems a year. Did you know flowers are like fashion? What do you think is "trendy" right now? We'll meet the man in charge and a second-generation vendor.
Our little show is back for a final five episodes and today we're heading out to The Teaching Zoo at Moorpark College. It's where students go to get degrees in animal care by getting hands on experience with all sorts of things with hooves, claws and feathers. We'll meet a pretty chatty bird -- he can introduce himself -- and get up close with some big cats!
