Today’s Guests:
It’s the “Just Try It” Radio Show brought to you by e-Bike of Colorado! Randy Caranci, Owner of e-Bike Of Colorado joins us as the largest retailer in Colorado of E-bikes. On today’s episode, Randy Caranci, Owner of e-Bike Of Colorado and host Scott Whatley focused the conversation on why so many people who purchase an e-bike say they wish they had made the decision years earlier. Randy explained how electric bikes make riding fun again by providing assistance on hills and against headwinds, allowing riders to travel farther without feeling exhausted. The discussion highlighted that e-bikes still provide excellent exercise while letting riders choose the level of assistance that best fits their needs. The show also explored how e-bikes are ideal for riders of all ages and fitness levels, helping people stay active and making it easier for couples and friends to ride together. Other benefits discussed included exploring new places, saving money on transportation, boosting confidence, and enjoying the mental health benefits that come from fresh air and outdoor activity.

Then our special segment: “Protecting Colorado’s Heritage” in support of YES on Amendment 83, Constitutional Right to Hunt & Fish. Our special guest, Ashley Baller, former Miss Rodeo Colorado shares her views on Amendment 83 and why she is in full support even as a non-hunter. The only groups who oppose this are those who wish to restrict or completely eliminate hunting and fishing altogether. Don’t believe the misinformation that animal rights activists are using to fight this measure. NOTE: 24 other states have already passed this amendment, ensuring that hunting and fishing will remain for future generations. It also ensures that wildlife management programs will continue to have a dedicated funding source. Hunters and anglers, through license purchases and taxes paid on equipment, fund almost all of the state’s wildlife and conservation programs. Without this, the burden would fall on taxpayers. A YES vote on Amendment 83 is a vote for healthy wildlife populations, habitat and conservation. www.WildlifeDeserveBetter.com and www.SaveTheHuntColorado.com.

The conversation also explores common questions about breakfast, intermittent fasting, eating late at night, ultra-processed foods and artificial sweeteners. Elizabeth explains why stomach acid may not be the enemy many people believe it is when it comes to reflux, and how nutrition may influence inflammation, metabolism and overall health.

Friday 10/2/26: Water Talk with Paul the Waterman

Today’s Guests:
Colorado Mobile Home Water Quality Act: What Residents Need to Know!! On this edition of Water Talk, Host Scott Whatley is joined by Paul “The Waterman” Dowding of Water Pro’s to discuss an important issue for Colorado’s mobile home residents: drinking water quality.

Colorado has established a Mobile Home Park Water Quality program designed to identify and address potential water-quality problems in mobile home parks. Recent legislation gives the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment additional authority to require testing, remediation plans, and corrective action when water-quality concerns are identified. Scott and Paul discuss an important question for residents: Who is responsible for the quality of the water coming into a mobile home park, and what happens when testing reveals a problem?

The conversation explores potential contaminants including bacteria, lead, nitrates and PFAS, while emphasizing that different contaminants require different testing and treatment methods. Paul also explains why residents should understand the difference between water quality at the park level and what may happen to that water as it travels through the plumbing inside an individual home.

The discussion also focuses on what residents can do to become more informed. Residents should know where their water comes from, when it was last tested, what contaminants were tested for, and whether any problems were identified. They can also ask to see the actual laboratory results. Another important takeaway is that residents shouldn’t automatically purchase a water filter simply because they’re concerned about their water. The first step is understanding what, if anything, is actually in the water.

Different contaminants require different treatment technologies, and a water softener, for example, is designed primarily to address hardness—not every potential drinking-water contaminant.

The goal of the Colorado program is to identify problems and make sure appropriate action is taken. For residents, the message is simple: don’t guess about your water. Know where it comes from, know whether it has been tested, understand the results, and know what steps are available if a problem is found.

Tune in to Water Talk Fridays Noon-1pm on KLZ 560 for a conversation about water quality, emerging contaminants and the importance of awareness, testing and prevention. Call Water Pro’s today at 303-862-5554 for your FREE in-home water test and tell them Scott sent you.

Today’s Guests:
Attorney Kevin Flesch of Flesch Law and Host Scott Whatley visit discuss the different types of trials in both criminal and civil cases and why those differences matter. Kevin breaks down the structure and purpose of each system, highlighting how criminal trials focus on guilt or innocence while civil trials determine liability and compensation. He explains the distinctions between jury trials and bench trials, including when an attorney might choose one over the other. Kevin also outlines the burden of proof, the phases of a criminal trial, and how constitutional rights and plea bargains affect outcomes. On the civil side, he discusses evidence standards, damages, and why many cases settle before trial. Kevin closes by emphasizing the importance of sound legal strategy and understanding how the trial process impacts your rights and results. Take a listen to this show, then you will be well informed. Attorney Kevin Flesch of Flesch Law has over 30 years of experience in Denver and throughout the State of Colorado. Kevin Flesch and their attorneys represent personal injury victims and people accused of criminal acts throughout the Denver area. It’s always a free consultation at Flesch Law.

Then it’s “Your Legacy Your Way”, with Attorney Carolyn Duncan of Duncan Legal. On this edition of Your Legacy Your Way, host Scott Whatley continues his conversation with Carolyn Duncan of Duncan Legal with Part 2 of their discussion on Powers of Attorney. Building on last week’s conversation, Scott and Carolyn take a deeper look at one of the most important decisions involved in creating a Power of Attorney: choosing the right person to act on your behalf. They discuss whether your agent has to be a family member, what qualities you should look for, and warning signs that someone may not be the right choice. The conversation also explores whether you can name more than one agent, the advantages and potential challenges of doing so, and how a Power of Attorney can be revoked if circumstances or relationships change. Carolyn explains what happens to a Power of Attorney when someone dies and discusses important limitations involving gifts and changes to an estate plan. Scott and Carolyn also address situations involving dementia or Alzheimer’s, why planning ahead matters, and why Powers of Attorney aren’t just for older adults. They discuss when documents should be reviewed, what happens when you move to another state, and some of the most common mistakes people make. Finally, Carolyn explains how Powers of Attorney work alongside wills, trusts, beneficiary designations and the rest of an estate plan, and what basic documents someone should consider if they have never completed an estate plan.
The message is simple: plan ahead, document your wishes, and help your family avoid making difficult decisions during a crisis. Call Duncan Legal today 303-394-2358. Visit the website at www.duncanlegal.com.

Then, on this edition of Medicare & More, Scott Whatley is joined by Jim Garey, an independent Medicare broker and owner of Silver Sherpa, to discuss an important question for anyone approaching Medicare eligibility: When should you begin planning, and when should you call Jim?
Jim explains that Medicare timing can be confusing, especially for people who continue working beyond age 65. While some individuals enroll in Medicare when they first become eligible, others remain covered through an employer’s group health insurance. The right decision can depend on the size of the employer, the type of coverage available and individual circumstances, so understanding the rules before making a change is essential. The conversation also addresses what can happen when someone works past 65, stays on employer coverage and is unexpectedly laid off at age 68. Jim explains why it is important to act quickly, review available enrollment opportunities and avoid gaps in health coverage. Losing employer-sponsored insurance may create a Special Enrollment Period, but deadlines and requirements matter. Calling a knowledgeable Medicare professional as soon as employment or coverage changes can help ensure the transition is handled properly.
Jim encourages listeners not to wait until the last minute. Reaching out before turning 65, before retiring or whenever employer coverage may end can provide time to review options and prepare the necessary paperwork. He can help clients understand Medicare Advantage Plans, Medicare Supplement Plans and prescription drug coverage, while reviewing choices at no cost to the client. Also, if a Spouse is on the other spouses work insurance and they are not eligible for Medicare, Jim can assist with Health Insurance. Tune in to Medicare & More with Jim Garey and Silver Sherpa for practical guidance on Medicare timing, enrollment and making informed coverage decisions. Call 303-865-5534, tell them Scott sent you.

Friday 9/25/26: Water Talk with Paul the Waterman

Today’s Guests:
On this episode of Water Talk, Host Scott Whatley sits down with Paul “The Waterman” Dowding of Water Pro’s to take a closer look at an important question: Could the water we drink every day affect our long-term health? The conversation examines growing concerns surrounding PFAS, microplastics, pharmaceuticals, metals, disinfection byproducts and other contaminants that may be present in drinking water. While clear, odorless water may look perfectly clean, some contaminants cannot be detected without proper testing. The discussion emphasizes an important distinction: detecting a substance does not automatically mean it is causing disease, and current research does not support blaming individual cancer cases on drinking water without specific scientific and medical evidence. The program also explores how pharmaceuticals can enter wastewater, why PFAS are often called “forever chemicals,” and how contaminants can potentially enter water after it leaves a treatment facility through aging pipes, fixtures, corrosion and household plumbing. When it comes to cancer and chronic illness, Scott and Paul stress the importance of being responsible with the message. Certain contaminants have documented health associations, but cancer has many potential contributing factors, including age, genetics, lifestyle and environmental exposures. The goal is awareness—not fear. The discussion then turns to practical solutions. Homeowners can review their municipal water reports, while private-well owners should take responsibility for regular testing. Water treatment should be based on actual test results rather than scare tactics or one-size-fits-all promises. Different technologies, including activated carbon, reverse osmosis and water softeners, address different water-quality concerns. The takeaway is simple: Know what is in your water before deciding what, if anything, you need to do about it. Water Pro’s offers free in-home water testing and helps Colorado families understand their water-quality and treatment options. Tune in to Water Talk Fridays Noon-1pm on KLZ 560 for a conversation about water quality, emerging contaminants and the importance of awareness, testing and prevention. Call Water Pro’s today at 303-862-5554 for your FREE in-home water test and tell them Scott sent you.
