The guys finish hanging out with Sasquatch expert and author Chris Noel! He tells about interacting with them, how they play games, and why he has devoted over the last decade of his life to studying sasquatch! He gives the Lounge a nickname that is apropos to the current pandemic... or maybe he was talking about beer! We chat a little about how the NBA might be able to still complete its season on time, and about senior (in-school) athletes. What does his day look like, every day? It's all here! ALSO, Little Matt has a "Let's Chat!" This dessert will leave you looking for a glass of water because it's so rich! WOOOO! Sit back, relax, and enjoy your dessert! #grabalisten!

What is sasquatch (or as some know him, Bigfoot)? How has it managed to exist FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS and not be discovered?! Sasquatch expert Chris Noël joined the guys in the Lounge! The guys were amazed by the depth of knowledge that Chris shared! What constitutes evidence? Not exactly what you would think! How does he deal with skeptics when confronted by them? How does Chris explain the ability of the sasquatch to remain unearthed? Listener Lea gives a question, and Chris HAMMERS how a novice might be able to start tracking themselves! Where do they live? Is it only in the Pacific Northwest United States!? FIND OUT! Chris was great! We only scratched the surface with Chris, and we plan on having him back... TO DIVE IN DEEPER! Great conversation! Sit back, relax, and #grabalisten!

For the second straight week, the guys got learned! Author Steve Snyder came to hang out in the Lounge! Steve wrote, "Shot Down: the true story of pilot Howard Snyder and the crew of the B-17 Susan Ruth." What an amazing journey Steve took us on during his time with the guys! His father, Howard, was the namesake of the title of the book! Steve tells us about how he came to writing the book, and all of the people he talked to during his research, INCLUDING THE MAN WHO SHOT HIS FATHER'S PLANE DOWN! When was it that his father finally told Steve about the time he spent in Belgium? He also explains the message the book is intended to send, and the most dangerous job, in WWII. The guys sat and listened in amazement as Steve told about his father making his way to safety, from Occupied Belgium. 
Steve then ventured into the world of sports and talked about his love for UCLA basketball, and the first-ever game at the famous Pauley Pavilion, on the campus of UCLA. The two-time National Champions were upset in that game... by a VERY unexpected opponent! Steve was there! Why are the Rams thinking about changing their logo?! Steve shares his thoughts! What a show! The guys introduce a new game! "Over, Under or PUSH!" makes its debut, and we think it's safe to say, it's got potential! Richey had to miss this episode, but Brice sat in and was a solid C+! HAHA! What else do we talk about? Well... THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION........ MATT! #grabalisten

It's time to put on your school hat, and sit back and learn about the American Civil War and the Alamo with author/historian William C. Davis (his friends call him "Jack")! Author of OVER 20 titles, Jack writes mostly about the Civil War, but does write about other subjects like the Alamo! Richey was VERY excited to talk to Jack about his book, "Three Roads to the Alamo: The Lives and Fortunes of David Crockett, James Bowie, and William Barret Travis." Sam talks to Jack about whether Jefferson Davis was a proponent of the South seceding from the Union, and Jack talks about who he feels was the biggest inspiration during the Civil War. 
It cannot always be work, so what does Jack do for "relaxation?" Well, it might just bring Jack to Sam's neck of the woods! Jack is certainly one of the most captivating people to come into the Lounge, and he will return again someday! So, sit back, relax, and always be there to #grabalisten!

To read more about W.C. Davis' works go to Publisher's Weekly: https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/authorpage/william-c.-davis.html.
If you'd like to order any of his books, you can find them at https://tinyurl.com/wc-davis-on-amazon!

Erik Hastings, a.k.a. Erik the Travel Guy (@erikhastings) of PBS's "Beyond Your Backyard" hangs out in the Lounge with the guys and they have a great time! How did he start as Erik the Travel Guy, where is HIS vacation spot, where are the best beaches? He talks about it all! Why in the world does he loath the rain? When he's listening to music, who is on his playlist? Erik also talks about winning TWO Emmy awards! There's SO MUCH MORE that we couldn't fit it all into this episode! *Hint-there might be some more coming out later this week!*
The guys also Crack a Six-Pack, and even dive into a Let's Chat! There's a little talk about Little Matt's Colts, and Sam's Bears in the NFL segment! What a show, and what a week! Sit back, relax, AND as always, be sure you're there to #grabalisten!

The guys were joined by Matt Gilbertson (@matt_gilbertson) who is the man behind International Superstar, Sex Symbol, and Berlin Boy Wonder, HANS (@accordionhans), of America's Got Talent (@agt) fame! AGT airs on NBC (check your local listings), and Hans was a finalist on the most recent season of AGT the Champions!

Well, Matt tells the guys, and then also foreshadows a trip to the midwest!?

It is a great hang out with Matt Gilbertson!

**ATTENTION** This week's show is a phenomenal show, but there are some topics that are of a mature nature. We want to make sure that if you have ears that are listening, and you don't want them to hear about mental health issues that might go further than you'd like, that you maybe wait to listen to the show when those ears aren't around! It's still PG-13, but we don't want to start conversations about things you aren't ready to talk about quite yet!**
The Mental Health Comedian, Frank King (@theMHcomedian) joins the guys in the Lounge! Sam and Little Matt sat down and hung out with him and had a GREAT time! Frank talks about what led him to comedy, some comedians he's work with, in the past, and issues that he deals with every day, and how that's led him to write a BOOK! OH... and he just got done with an international trip that made some news! You can find a lot more information about Frank, and his quest for better mental health at https://www.thementalhealthcomedian.com/. If you ever feel you need to talk to someone, at any time call the Suicide Prevention Hotline at 1-800-273-8255.
The guys talk about some more XFL and its viability. Talk leads to their commissioner and YET ANOTHER CONSPIRACY! The guys do a couple of rounds of Would You Rather (thanks to @SpitballersPod) and the answers might actually make you LOL! Sit back, relax, and always remember to #grabalisten!

We had enough from hanging out with infielder for the Midland RockHounds (AA affiliate of the Oakland A's) Nate Mondou that we were able to have ANOTHER dessert, this week! Nate talks about disagreements with coaches, his time in USA Baseball, the bullpen guys, and superstitions he, or people he knows, have in the world of baseball! Richey and Sam went and saw Mike Eruzione (Miracle on Ice fame) speak, and they talk about the influence of the 1980 Winter Olympics, in Lake Placid. Rounding out our "Dessert," Mama Richey calls Richey and a hilarious story ensues! WHAT A GREAT WEEK! TWO GREAT releases of the time we had, in the Lounge, with Nate! #grabalisten
