Two Noras and a Bike

Send us Fan Mail Poor Nora! Has this ever happened to you? You take a couple pills to help with some cold symptoms, only to have it get physically stuck with you? Nora found herself in a real pickle and when Google suggested "immediate medical attention" she tried everything from drinking copious amounts of water to sleeping upright like "the Dutch used to sleep" and even going for a morning run - all while hoping the pill would dislodge itself without intervention. But fear not...the situation is under control now. Between opening night celebrations of a junior high musical and surprise birthday festivities, the Noras share their parallel journeys auditioning for Wheel of Fortune. While one solved puzzles solo against the clock, the other competed live against fellow contestants, leading to good-natured speculation about who might actually make it onto the show. We even taste test the limited-edition "Moon Punch" Capri Sun created for the March lunar eclipse, which prompts nostalgic discussions about the juice boxes our parents would (or wouldn't) buy us as children. The conversation shifts to bicycles - from childhood memories of banana seats and BMX bikes with pegs that "burned the inside of people's shins" to dreams of opening a bike shop called "Off The Chains." We uncover fascinating bicycle history, learning how early models were described as "uncomfortable, no brakes, dangerous, no steering" before the revolutionary idea of making both wheels the same size. Did you know a Tour de France cyclist once reached a speed of 63 miles per hour going downhill? That's like "you're going to die" fast. Whether you're reminiscing about your first bike, wondering if robots should really be running marathons, or simply enjoying our signature "highs and lows" segment, this episode captures the small moments that make life both challenging and delightful. Join us for laughs, nostalgia, and the comfort of knowing we're all just figuring things out as we go. Mike Haggerty Buick GMC Right on the corner, right on the price!
