Jerry's Food-Filled Thursday: From Jelly Beans to Spam!

Our beloved weatherman kicked off the Holiday Calendar segment with not one, not two, but FOUR delicious national days to celebrate. "It's all about food today!" Jerry announced, and boy, was he right.

The Menu of the Day

National Jump for Jelly Beans Day got things started, though Jerry confessed he doesn't exactly jump for jelly beans – but he does get "a little yelly for jelly bellies." Classic Jerry dad joke to start the morning right!

National Avocado Day brought some fascinating history to the breakfast table. Did you know avocados were nicknamed "alligator pears" and were domesticated around 5,000 years ago in Mexico and Guatemala? Jerry's take? "Avocados guac my world." We see what you did there, Jerry!

National Chili Dog Day had Jerry reminiscing about the simple perfection of a hot dog in a bun topped with chili. "That's why I think they came up with the name Chili Dog," he noted with his signature logical approach to life's mysteries.

But the real star of the show was National Spam Day, which inspired not one but TWO pop quiz questions that had the control room buzzing.

Between the food facts, the dad jokes, and the pop culture trivia, Jerry delivered another winning segment that proves why Palm Springs mornings just aren't the same without him.
