I had the opportunity to hop on the phone with the creator of a new mobile game that has made it's way to Colorado. It's called "Treasure Games". This game gives players an opportunity to find real treasure in the real world and win life changing prizes. Talking with Dirk I learned about how this exciting new mobile game came to be. We discussed it's first million dollar winner and how to get involved in playing if you live in Colorado. "Wish Lamps" is the first game introduced. I basically feel like I need to go on and Aladdin journey after speaking with Dirk. Take listen below. I felt with something this exciting happening in the mile-high I had to tell you about it.

I dropped by The Fillmore in Denver, Colorado to have a quick conversation with Mimi Webb before she rocked the stage at the Fillmore. She fogs up my glasses, we talk about her new single "Mistake" & I learn what a Mimi Webb workout consists of. She was an absolute delight to meet and have a conversation with. I hope you enjoy this quick podcast. Remember, It's Cool to be You! - JR

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.

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.
