  • NOTHING BUT “THE REGULARS” REMINISCING

    This show USED TO BE a wealth of information that people could learn a great deal from. NOT ANYMORE.

    Now, it’s a matter of a few regulars calling in to hear themselves talk on the radio (think Jeff from Montana, Jerry from Greeley, John from Cheyenne, etc.). That is often exasperated by the often repeated “question of the day”.

    Twenty years ago, a caller told the host(s) that this show was nothing more than an infomercial. I now know that to be true.

    My time is now better spent elsewhere.

  • John, two things please????

    1) Please take out the commercials for the podcast. I live in Chicago and your local Denver ads are just plain irritating.

    2) John, STOP talking over everyone. Listen to yourself sometime. We all know you know a lot - LET PEOPL FINISH THEIR SENTENCES!

  • Ad laden garbage

    Listen to three episodes in a row. Started off OK but inns up being a show about the final one off any insurance claim body shops, "doctors"and ambulances chasing attorneys. Clearly slanted in one Direction and what should've been about call repair turns into a political podcast. Much better ones Out there.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

HR2 Drive Radio (3-28-26)
Q: How does PPF self-heal work and what are its limits?
PPF self-healing works through heat from the sun that allows minor scratches to return toward their original state, but it cannot fix deeper damage like gouges or cracks; in those cases the film must be replaced.
HR1 Drive Radio (3-21-26)
Q: What could cause a car that cranked one day to not start the next day after a new fuel pump was installed?
The panel suggested checking fuel pressure with a gauge, testing the fuel rail pressure, and performing a fuel pressure test to confirm whether the new pump is delivering adequate pressure, since lack of proper pressure often prevents starting.
HR2 Drive Radio (3-21-26)
Q: Is there ever a time you'd recommend financing a car through the dealer if you have own financing options?
Yes—get pre-approved elsewhere, then bring that approval to the dealer to compare and possibly beat, while resisting add-ons.
Stop Guessing: The Science Behind a Thriving Colorado Garden. (2-21-26)
Q: When is a good time to start considering planting your seeds considering the frost?
Mother's Day is a good guideline, but it varies based on specific locations within Colorado due to freezing conditions.
HR2 DRIVE RADIO - February 14, 2026
Q: What if you could offer a homeowner an option besides a full replacement for a roof?
At Roof Savers of Colorado, we use plant-based treatments that restore flexibility to asphalt shingles and extend roof lives up to five more years.
