I remember being way too proud of myself for figuring out that Marshall was wearing a Jim Marshall Vikings jersey on the HIMYM Little Minnesota episode. Rest in peace Jim Marshall.

"The Memory Palace" by Nate DiMeo
Especially as an audiobook, this feels like of a compilation of podcast episodes, but that is very much worth the cost of admission. Awesome historical storytelling. The personal stories at the end were also a welcome addition to this repertoire.

"The Restaurant at the End of the Universe" by Douglas Adams
Did not like it as much as the first book. Too much Zaphod. I feel like the hand-waving to explain the sci-fi was really stepped up. I will keep up with the series, but hopefully it gets better.
