Well, it's finally happened. The showdown you've all been waiting (maybe?) for! After weeks, nay months, of Abe calling his clock "institutional", Matthew Ogus joins the podcast to set the record straight. Will Abe get his comeuppance, or will there be "peace" between our conflicted Canadians? And what do cheese knives, horseradish, and Wapakoneta, Ohio, have to do with anything? Find out on this episode of the Bike That Goes Nowhere podcast!

In this week's episode, we chat with Rick Pialet - a retired USAF and United Airlines pilot . Shortly after trading in his wings for spin shoes, Rick came face to face with a life changing event - long COVID.
