BJ & Bill The Podcast

Some really big news on the podcast this week, and we're not talking about football! Well, there's some football chatter later in the show, but this is someting completely different. BJ has finally - after years of prodding by his family and his old partner Bill Stevenes - finallly found himself someone who is going to help him write his life story down in a real, live, available-on-Amazon book.&n...

So much to talk about this week! As this podcast was being recorded, the US was getting a new / old / recycled President. So there's some talk on politics, even though both the boys are not strongly connected to any particular ideology. God bless us all... It's also being recorded on MLK day... definitely something to celebrate.  Along witih that, there's football talk, of course! And if that...

Football season is over! At least it is for BJ, who (along with Bill) had the unhappy experience of watching their beloved Tampa Bay Bucaneers lose in the NFL Wild Card Playoff games. Oh well, as BJ said, "time to wash the jerseys and put them away for another season." Yes, he really did NOT wash his Bucs jersey, to try to keep the "luck" of winning going. Not so much, apparently. Other goodies fr...

Well, the regular season of the NFL came to a close the weekend just before this show was recorded, so the boys have plenty of football to talk about. Most interesting, the way BJ had to make sure his wife was helping out, doing the "ritual" of wearing the same team jersey, sitting in the same spot on the couch, etc... all to make sure our favorite Tampa Bay Bucs were winners. Yeah, it's a bit of...

Happy New Year! This podcast drops exactly on New Year's Day, so let us be the first (or nearly first) to wish you - our listener friends - all the best for the coming 2025. Life has been "interesting" lately, and we're hoping the New Year brings a bit more sanity. All to be revealed,  of course. Sure, there's some football talk. The boys fav team - the Tampa Bay Buccaneers -  had a good...

Happy Holidays from BJ and Bill - the Podcast.  This week, more Buc-ee's stories. The wonderful, addictive Buc-ee's Nuggets and lots more. All part of holiday travel stories from BJ, visiting family around the state, and the joys of owning a high-tech electric car. Yes, he still loves it.  Of course there was a bit of talk (but not much!) about football. Our favorite team had a great wee...

This week - talk about the perfect example of a podcast featuing "two old men in Florida." The show starts with both BJ and Bill complaining about the "cold" wather where they live in the Sunshine State! Yes, totally lame...we get it.  Still, there's some good ideas to share, too. How much storage space do you have in your house, apartment, or condo? Is it enough? We already know the answer t...

This week, it's the "two old men complaining about the weather" show. Could it get any more mundane than that? Well, you'll have to listen to find out. Still, both of the boys wonder out loud why they ever left Southwest Florida, home of year-round warnth and nice Gulf of Mexico breezes.  Also this week, BJ's heart issues, and how they're "complicated" by his watching his favorite football te...

It was a good football week for the boys... Tampa Bay won, and the Browns played (and won!) a super-cool game in the big-time snow right there in Cleveland. Well, that was exciting for Bill, anyway.  Along with the sports-talk, there was more about electric cars, and how they work for some people (BJ) and not so much for others (Bill, although he's open to change)... We had to find the answer...

With their favorite team - the Tampa Bay Buccaneers - off this weekend, what will the boys talk about on thiis week's show? Well, there's plenty more sports to cover, and a lot more.  But speaking of sports, Bill talks about living in a college town with a high-profile university football team. It's been a bit of a roller coaster ride in Gainesville this year, to say the least.  Now, whe...

  If you're a fan of just about any football team from the great state of Florida, you had a bad weekend this past week... and BJ and Bill spend some time comiserating on that topic on this weeks' show. Florida State, University of Florida, University of Miami... all lost. Tampa Bay Bucs, Jacksonville Jags, both lost (Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football).  Other stuff this week... su...

Football, NASCAR and time travel... all in a week's work for the BJ and Bill podcast.  Yes, there's the usual talk of football and other sports, but - and here's where the time-travel comes in - the boys are recording this podcast before an important Monday Night Football game featuring their Tampa Bay Buccaneers, so by the time you hear this podcast, the game will be long over. More importan...

Oooh... Spooky coincidence! This week's show - which comes out the week of Halloween - is number one hundred THIRTEEN. OK, maybe not so spooky, but fun. This week: Speaking of scary, BJ goes into great detail about one of his medical proceedures. Where needles go, drugs and drug testing, all that. Fun? Maybe not. Scary? A little.  This week's show also comes close to Election Day in the US. I...

Wow... After more than one hundred episodes, there's some new information on "The History of BJ" on this show! We thought we'd covered everything, but no! So, be sure to listen all the way to the end of the episode for some eye-opening (and eye-wateringly funny) bits of history and how BJ got to be the media superstar that he is!  Other topics covered this week: BJ is on the road, visiting th...

Between storms, sports and more, it's been a busy past week for the boys, and this episode of the podcast speeds right thru with lots to talk aboiut and comment on.  First football: BJ says he's keeping his promise, and buying the expensive but oh-so-cool Baker Mayfield / Tampa Bay Bucaneers jersey. We're waiting photographic evidence to make sure he's telling the truth. Stay tuned for that.&...

As yet another hurricane approaches Florida (the second one is an many weeks!), BJ and Bill talk about storm prep and lots more. Both BJ and Bill still have plenty of friends and family in the areas that have been hard-hit by this year's crazy weather... All up and down the Southwest Florida coast. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all in need. Also this week, the latest chapter in BJ's medical d...

This week, it's all about "story." Seems that with everything the boys talk about this week, there's a big or funny, or both, story behind it. Starts out with talk of a high school janitor-turned-singer on one of those reality TV shows... But story goes all through the show, with stories from people BJ has connected with along his heart-transplant journey, to Bill's story on joining and then getti...

Bad week for fans of the Tampa Bay Bucs...and the boys are feelin' it on the show this week. BJ's little self-wager to buy a new Bucs jersey is out the window, and Bill is not too happy about the Cleveland Browns showing, either. Ah well, another week in sports. Also this week, BJ asks Bill a "techie" question about website and app passwords. Quite the discussion over how to create and (most impor...

The NFL season is off and running (college football, too), so the boys spend a bit of time talking football, and their favorite teams. Of course BJ has to put in a good word for NASCAR Racing, even though he's not a fan of their "playoff" system. How does that even work with racing, anyway?  There's some talk of the "portal" system, where players in college football can move around to differe...

The new NFL season is off and running (and kicking, and passing) and the boys have plenty to talk about. Podcat fav team the Tampa Bay Buccaneers started with a good win, and that's got BJ making a little wager with himself. If the Bucs - with quarterback Baker Mayfield at the helm - can win two more in a row, he'll buy himself an expense, official NFL jerseys, with Mayfield's name on the back. Wi...

This week - lots of sports talk from The Boys. With the Labor Day holiday, college football season kicks off, the WNBA season is winding down, and - of course - the NFL is getting ready for it's big kickoff.  Along with that, a lot of talk of long-past radio days in Southwest Florida. Recently, some old friends and rivals of the classic BJ and Bill Show announced thier retirement, which led t...

This week - Why Sports is Better Than Real Life. OK, maybe not, but the boys have quite the discussion of a few big sporting events from the past week. Yes, there's NASCAR for BJ, but also the riveting final games of the Little League World Series. Who'd a thunk it? But yes, for Bill especially, it was all a good example of playing by the rules, determining a true winner, and why Sports is Better...

What a show! Yes, we always say that, but this episode really does have something important, funny, and powerful to say... but you'll have to wait for the second half of the program for it! (And that, folks, is what they call a "tease" in show business...)  First half: Two old men complaining about the weather. Yes, it sounds like a TV commercial (people turning into their parents). There's a...

Lots going on this week! The Olympics ended, the NFL football season began! As for the Olympics, did you watch very much? The boys talk aboiut the impressive wins for the USA Men's and Woman's basketball teams.  As for the NFL, yes, we know it's just "preseason" ... but c'mon, it's still football and that's a very big deal, indeed. Looking forward to the upcoming season, as always. But the re...

Lots of weather-related talk on the show this week. As this show was being recorded, a hurricane was blowing along the northwest Florida coast, near the area called the Big Bend. That made for stormy conditions for both the boys - but especially for Bill, in Gainesville, closer to the stormy action.  Of course there's always - hopefully - a story of interest and / or fun in everything, and th...
