BJ & Bill The Podcast

Can you believe it!?! One HUNDRED shows for the BJ and Bill Podcast. Huge thanks to all those who have listened to the boys across the years, and have stayed in touch through this podcast. Couldn't have done it without you... On the show this week, lots of "car talk." Yes, that's an old NPR program from years gone by, but it totally fits for this show. BJ had the experience of test-driving his fir...

This week might actually qualify as a "not safe for work" episode! They boys have quite the disucssion about getting old (so what else is new?) but this time, there's some - shall we say - interesting stories and jokes about all the different bodily parts and functions that get probed and prodded for all kinds of different medical exams. All in the name of science, of course!  It's been a cra...

This week, it sounds like the boys have hit new levels of "old man" complaining, as we listen to BJ talk about how he doesn't like "freezing" in the winter in Central Florida! Really, that much colder than his old days in Fort Myers? We think not...  As often happens, the subject of our favorite travel stop - Buc-ee's - comes up. There's quite the spirited discussion on the merits of the pull...

On this week's shows... BJ's travels for a mini-vacation for his anniversary. Congrats! Of course if there's a road trip involved, that means a stop at Buc-ee's. It's now official: the boys are looking to reach out to their favorite highway travel stop to look into sponsorship possibilities. What took so long... right?? Also this week, BJ recently discovered a new radio station that actually uses...

This week - a little catching up on sports, including big congrats to the Florida Panthers for pulling off an exciting Game 7 win in the Stanley Cup Finals. Also, big smiles all around for the Florida Everblades pulling off back-to-back-to-back Championship wins in their Kelly Cup Finals. Nice! BJ is thinking - nothing serious at this point - about plugging in to the electric vehicle (EV) trend. T...

This week, Bill is "on location" at a secret mountain hideaway (sounds like a song!) in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Georgia. Not so secret, now that we've told you, right?  Anyway, to get there, Bill had to drive up I-75 through Georgia, which meant a stop at the Buc-ee's in Warner Robbins (of course!). There are pictures to prove it this time, and Bill tells the story of a brisket sandwich f...

This week - the boys talk about visits to offbeat and lesser-known Florida tourist spots. BJ had a good weekend visiting one of them in the Orlando area. What Florida OG spots have you visited? Bill is a big Weeki Watchee fan... Also (and after a long time away from being mentioned on the show) there's some new Buc-Ee's talk! Seems the boys' favorite travel stop has opened the newest - and biggest...

Yet another great place to subscribe to - and listen to - BJ and Bill - the Podcast. The show is now available on YouTube Music! (Heck, it may have been there for a while, but Bill just subscribed to YT Music, and found it there...so that's a win.)  This week, some memories fror OG Fort Myers... Back when a certain beachfront resort was the "in" place to go for weekend getaways and parties. H...

Yes or no?? On this show, BJ and Bill dissucc the idea of "going live" with the show. OK, maybe not live and in-person (like back in radio days), but doing the show "live" as a video stream on platforms like YouTube and others. Would you watch? Gotta admit, sounds pretty scary... just a couple of old guys ranting about life. Anyway, stay tuned for details.  Other show stuff: the boys talk abo...

This week - an unexpected and fun phone call visit from "The Boss." For those that don't know, that's BJ's son Gentry, who runs the podcast network that this - and many other - fine podcasts appear on the interwebs. A few good father and son stories, and some other catching up in the podcast world.  Also, the very important discussion of exactly how to best time our visit to your local Wal-Ma...

Another podcating milestone for the boys... Episode 90! Thanks for all your support. We're looking forward to some kind of party for the Big #100. Speaking of milestones, BJ had a birthday in the past week. On the show, he talks about some life (and living) goals. Now he's aiming to live to be 75...but we know he's gonna be around for a lot longer than that! So of course the talk of living to "adv...

This week, the boys talk about BJ's latest doc appointment - so what else is new, right? But it does lead to a good discussion of how we either support ourselves - or hurt our health - with the food we eat (or dont' eat, of course). BJ continues to work on keeping his health in good condition, and Bill continues to work on losing a few pounds (OK, more than a few!), and there are good stories all...

What a fun show! Yes, we say that a lot, but this one turned into something special. We hope and trust you'll agree.  A bit of sports catch-up first, as always. BJ's Warriors have been out of the NBA Playoffs for some time (he's bummed), and Bill's Cavaliers beat the Orlando Magic in seven exciting first-round games (he's thrilled). Some NBA, some Kentucky Derby as well... Which led to a lot...

BJ in the Radio Hall of Fame? Well, honestly, no... but the boys spend some time this week talking about the "what might have beens" in their careers, so that makes for some jokes. Other funnyy stuff... how a dad (BJ) gets a little fatherly revenge on his kids with the stories of their names. For BJ, it's one musical instrument, one car. Don't know what that means? Better tune in to find out.&nbsp...

On the show this week. Ever think about getting a "side hustle"... a little part-time gig to make a few extra dollars? BJ and Bill have a talk about Bill's latest gig, delivering food for DoorDash. For Bill, it's a little bit of fun, a little bit of money, and little bit of getting out of the house, where he's normally stuck at his computer desk all day long...  Also this week, BJ talks about...

Remember back in the day… That TV commercial for a brand of cassette tape (remember those!?)… “Is it live or is it Memorex?” (Pretty sure that was the brand.) This week, BJ has a brand-new voice recording, high-tech toy in his home studio, and we get to play the “Is it live?” game all over again. Sounds weird, but you’ll just have to tune in to find out...

So... would you enjoy a hearing a grown man cry? Well, tune in to this weeks' show as BJ sobs (just a bit) over the loss suffered by the Purdue Boilermakers in the Champtionship game of the men's Final Four NCAA tournament. Not a basketball fan? there's still lots of other fun stuff, too.  Still, for those that follow BJ's sports-betting "picks," you'd do well - very well - to bet against wha...

This week - the wonders of travel to and from SW Florida... back in the early days. Driving down I-75 ... till it ended! Flying into the ancient Paige Field in Fort Myers... the wonders of discovering the winter life so far down south. All great memories for the boys. Also, a dash of sports talk, as usual. Men's and women's NCAA basketball tournaments, and also BJ's night out with his son (and fri...

This week - lots of sports talk. Not just about teams and standings, but why we like sports and how (and who) we cheer for. Not just for BJ and Bill, but pretty much everyone, in all the different sports and leagues out there. About the only thing we missed was baseball, and that starts up with the MLB season in just a couple weeks.  BJ finds a story about how "old age" starts at the ripe old...

The St. Patrick's Day holiday has come and gone... did you get your share of corned beef and cabbage? More importantly, your share of green beer? The boys have some good memories of big radio parties of years gone by in this episode, with plenty of green to go all around. For those living in neighborhoods with the ever-popular HOA's, BJ has plenty to say about some new proposals for his community....

This week, a quick check-in with BJ and our friend Vicki Wagoner, who've both gone through some pretty big medical proceedures this past week. Yet more evidence of how getting old sucks... but here we are. For the fun stuff, there's plenty. BJ is heading off to the Mouse House to see the legendary (is that the right word?) Rick Springfield. That leads to a discussion on some of our favorite musici...

This week, plenty of the usual strangeness. A bit of a medical update from BJ, including the latest on his heart (of course). Seems that when BJ is making one of his regular visits to Tampa General, the nursing staff fights over who gets to take care of him. His words, folks, his words. Guess he's just such a pleasure to be around!  Lots more health-talk, including all the popular tests that...

This weeks' show features a very special guest. It's Marc Price, who starred (as a very young man) as "Skippy" on the sitcom "Family Ties." These days, he's still doing acting, but even more standup comedy. He and BJ have been friends for years.  So on the show this week, tune in to hear about the business of standup comedy in these crazy times, as well as memories of sitcom TV from "back in...

This week - a very special guest joins BJ and Bill - The Podcast. One of our favorite guests from back in radio days joins the program! Tune in for a chat with Vicki Wagoner - the Practical Intuitive. Vicki was the person that introduced both BJ and Bill to all sorts of interesting personal development and spiritual topic and practises.  On this episode, the boys talk to Vicki about what she'...

No surprise here... a lot of football Big Game talk, analysis and more this week! And yes, there's plenty of time left to get in both BJ and Bill's opinions about the "Swiftie" thing. Is that a thing? How much do sports broadcasts "check in" on girlfriends, wives, and other significant others? Is it important? The boys have differing opinions, and aren't afraid to share them.  Second (non-foo...
