In honor of this past October being Anti-Bullying Month, my guy MAX popped by the HITS Hangout for an exclusive live acoustic performance. You may know MAX from his hit song "Lights Down Low" or his collaboration with Suga of BTS. We talk about personal experiences with bullies, what to do if you're dealing with a bully, MAX's music, and so much more. This was really cool to me because when I first began my radio career I interviewed MAX, then again during my time in Nashville, & now here in Denver nearly 10 years later! Talk about full circle. Thank you for taking the anti-bullying pledge. I really hope you enjoy this podcast/performance. My name is JR & remember it's cool to be you.

It's not every day you get invited to a collectibles shop after hours to record a conversation with the shop owner. Over the last few months, I've really started to find my footing here in Denver. I'm starting to make friends, create connections, and collaborate with the collector's community here in the Mile High. I'm genuinely starting to feel more and more like myself and less like I'm here because this is where my job is. Anthony (A-Tiz) is an owner and operator of the ( Out The Box ) collectibles & consignment shop in Thornton, CO. I've visited this spot a handful of times, and over these visits, he's become one of my collector community buddies quickly. I'm excited for you to hear this podcast. Anthony has a very interesting story that we've only scratched the surface on.

My audio quality will get better and better as I gain more experience in mobile recording. What I mean by that is recording podcasts outside of the radio station. With that said this is very very listenable. I'm just my own worst critic lol.


Remember, It's Cool to be You!

I got to sit down and catch up with my guy Lewis Capaldi right before he performed before a sold-out crowd at Mission Ballroom in Denver, CO. We talked about his new album, single, his panic attack after a one-night stand, WWE, and a ton more fun stuff. Seriously I want to thank Lewis for taking the time to chat with me.

In this week's podcast, I get to sit down and chat with "Bayley" from the WWE! I cannot believe this just happened. I'm a lifelong WWE fan as you probably know & Bayley is one of my favorite superstars. I tried my absolute best to play it cool but I was fanboying super hard lol. We talked about the WWE's supershow in Denver on March 26th, her big Wrestlemania 6-woman tag-team match, and more. This is a reminder of why I LOVE this job so damn much.

As a HUGE WWE fan, I cannot even begin to explain how cool this was. I got to hop on the phone and chat with the WWE Smackdown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair! We talked about the big super show coming up on March 26th at Ball Arena here in Denver. We discussed her Wrestlemania opponent Rhea Ripley and so much more. What an absolute delight Charlotte is. OMG, I can't believe this just happened. Make sure you're listening to HITS 95.7 on your drive home because a lucky winner will be sitting ringside with me on March 26th at Ball Arena for the WWE Super-Show.

WARNING SPOILERS: While Dave & I both enjoyed the film, it's no instant classic. Very quotable and Paul Rudd is funny once again, but listen to this episode to get our full thoughts! How did you feel about the movie? Lemme know. - JR
