**Memorial Day Weekend and More**

This Memorial Day weekend, we're taking a moment to reflect on the sacrifices of our nation's heroes and their families. But we're also diving into some fascinating conversations and stories that'll make you think. From the world of e-bikes and their safety concerns to the latest news on homelessness in Denver, we're covering it all.

In this episode, we're joined by Dr. Joe Galati, an internal medicine doc and national speaker, who shares his expertise on the importance of e-bike safety and the need for regulation. We also talk to Denver Mayor Mike Johnson about the city's efforts to combat homelessness, and how their strategies are paying off. Plus, we're discussing the proposed AI executive order that was supposed to be signed by President Trump, but was put on hold after concerns from industry leaders.

We're also sharing a powerful conversation with Nancy Pfander, a Gold Star mom who lost her son in combat, and her experiences with the Gold Star community in Colorado. And, of course, we're getting into some fun topics, like the quirks of Hell, Michigan, a town that's actually for sale. It's a place you might want to consider owning, with its own post office, mini golf course, and more.

Tune in to hear the full conversation and learn more about these topics and others. Listen to the full episode to hear the rest of the story and get a deeper understanding of the issues and stories that matter.
