Sheldon went to Vegas... it was meh and he talks about it including the overrated In-N-Out burger... yes ... I said it. Meredith went to her first Passover Seder and had all the things!

Manny Lopez is the guest and he has a special kind of energy. He brings "The Manny experience" and we cover his path into fitness with what started with following a dream that wasn't his own - medical school. Manny then finds his passions and today he not only instructs Echelon but runs his own hat business (they are AWESOME by the way) where the hats are made by people in his home country of Ecuador. He hand inspects EACH had and is supporting families that make each hat for his business. It's admirable.
