BJ & Bill The Podcast

Wow! The boys have hit the 50-show milestone! Break out the champagne! (Or your favorite adult beverage.) Who woulda thunk they'd make it this far?  On this show, along with the disucssion of the big five-oh milestone show, the boys dive deep into the wonders of BBQ brisket sandwiches. It all starts with BJ having a late-night craving for a Buc-ee's Brisket Sandwich, and comparing them to loc...

Gotta be honest, folks. This show is - at least at the start - not for the faint of heart when it comes to health-related exams, poking and prodding... by a qualified, licensed professional, of course! Yup, there's more BJ "health talk" ... for both he and his wife. Gets a little personal, but nothing you've not heard before. Still, you have been warned.  Then the boys get to rant a bit about...

Trivia question answered this week on BJ and Bill - the Podcast: Just how many pills does BJ take in the course of a week? ... a month? Some crazy numbers are batted about by the boys on this week's show. Not just the raw numbers, but the costs, too. It's enough to make you want to stay healthy!  Here's another - not so trivial - question from the boys on this week's show: Do you post tons of...

This week, catching up on BJ's ongoing health and wellness story. Another routine hospital and doc visit for the man who should be getting frequent flyer miles for his travels to and from Tampa General Hospital. The good news: BJ continues to be in good health, aside from the usual complaints of a couple guys saddled with simply getting older... Also, stay tuned as BJ offers Bill some "highly valu...

This week, a show "about nothing" as the used to say on Seinfeld. BJ and Bill had hoped to have a special surprise guest on the program, but alas, the stars just didn't line up. Maybe next week. Still, plenty of funny stuff about emojis (we know you love them!), the humble beginnings of Chik-fil-a, and lots more.  The big discussion of the week is about BJ's heart-transplant history. We answe...

This week - a VERY special guest on the show with BJ and Bill. Longtime Southwest Florida radio personality - and lots more - Dave Alexander. Dave and BJ go way back to the "early days" of radio in Fort Myers, Cape Coral and Naples. Many people will also recognize Dave's voice as the public address announcer for the Florida Everblades hockey games!  Like BJ and Bill, Dave has had his ups and...

Not gonna lie, folks... there may be a little NSFW (Not Safe for Work) conversation on this episode of the podcast! Let's just say some of the talk on this week's show would never have been allowed on the old BJ and Bill show on "live radio" back in the day! Still, it's fun stuff, with talk of "adult activities" and the intrustion of technology. Guess you're just going to have to listen for all th...

Basically, this entire show is just two old guys, reminiscing and complaining. You're wondering, "so what else is new?" Yeah, probably. But it seems more on-point this show. That's a thing, right?  First, there's a rundown on one of the hard aspects of old-person life: The community HOA, or home-owners association. BJ talks about living in various HOA-regulated communities in recent years. Th...

This week: Fun stuff, scary stuff. All on one show!  First, BJ and Bill discuss the merits of a certain type of "gummy" snack. OK, not really a snack, but it's something that can certainly put you in a better mood - just like chocolate! Definitely a lot stronger than chocolate, for sure.  Also, there's quite the disucssion on some of the more serioius aspects of AI - artificial intellige...

This week...things get a little frisky! BJ and Bill go into some down-and-dirty details on past relationships and dating lives. OK, maybe not so frisky, but some juicy details for sure. As always, there's plenty of history, good times and funny details.  There's also some back-office story of The Podcast Playground, the network supporting BJ and Bill - The Podcast. There's a lot going on with...

Wow... 40 shows! The numbers are adding up, and - to be honest - BJ and Bill impressed themselves with the longevity and consistency of the show. We hope you like it, too.  This week, gotta admit, it's a little more "adult oriented" show than usual. There's some talk about living a long, happy life, and the options of staying - shall we say - physically and intimately active well into one's s...

This week - a very, very special guest on the program with the boys. We won't reveal the name here... you'll have to listen in for yourself. It's another of BJ and Bill's former radio-related friends and co-workers. In fact, both BJ and Bill worked with this guest at different radio stations in Southwest Florida.  Tune in for stories of past days of radio glory, the good and not-so-good peopl...

This week, a bit of "personal development" from non-certified, non-professional life coaches BJ and Bill! As they say on the TV commercials for medical stuff, "please consult a real doctor if you need help." Still, the boys are here to talk about their own business successes and failures. There's also some talk about the team running the podcast network where BJ and Bill - The Podcast is produced....

Wow! The boys cover a lot of ground in this episode...you'll want to stay to the very end to hear all the crazy-ness. Most importantly, it's a very Happy Birthday to BJ Odom. The day this podcast drops is his latest... how old? Guess you'd better tune in and find out.  Other topics of the day: BJ says he wants to go out for lobster or crab (or both) for his birthday dinner. So, is that melted...

I hope we remember what this episode is about! No worries, we took good notes... But that's because there's quite the discussion of getting older, memory loss and lots more on this week's episode of BJ and Bill - The Podcast.  Speaking of Disney, there's a short (and thankfully non-political) talk on the troubles between the House of Mouse and the state of Florida. What will happen? Who knows...

It's the Radio History Hour! Well, sort of... This week, BJ and Bill go back, WAY back, into the radio history archives to talk about the early days of broadcasting in the Fort Myers, Naples, Cape Coral area. The boys discuss some "inside the game" topics for radio - consultants, managers, music and more.  BJ also shares the story of how he made a "guest star" appearance on another podcast re...

This week - a special expanded edition of the show! One hour just wasn't enough to hold all the stories and extra conversations with the first-ever on-show guest for BJ and Bill - The Podcast!  Before the guest, there's talk of one of Florida's favorite critters, the love bug! Yes, it's almost that time of year again, so have your detergent and scrub-brushes ready as your car is once again bo...

Bill has a new job! Just like the - shall we say? - senior citizens you see bagging groceries and doing other jobs, Bill has taken up a new "side hustle" to make a few dollars and avoid afternoon boredom. Listen in as he talks about the exciting new gig!  Also on this episode, BJ provides a movie review, and talks about his new appreciation for Hallmark Channel and their neverending supply of...

Lots of different, fun stuff in this week's episode. BJ shares some newfound knowledge about dolphins. If you live in Florida, or anywhere near southern waters, you've probably got a dolphin story to share...and we encourage you to do that!  Also this week, talk about moving out of the snowy north and heading to Florida Lots of people are doing just that...and some arrive with some interestin...

We are not saying this might be a "not safe for work" episode, but you may want to listen in private, just the same. Why? Well, on this week's show, BJ and Bill go in-depth on a new scientific study that's all about.... well.... farting. Yup! It's a thing - the scientific study, that is. The quesiton is: who passes gas more... older people or younger? Guess you'll have to listen in to find out for...

This week, everything you ever wanted to know about farm life, raising pigs for the County Fair, and lots more. What?!? You didn't want to know about farm life? Well, just wait till you hear some of BJ's stories of raising "swine" for fairs... and post-fair markets. Now you know where that amazing bacon comes from!  Also on this episode, we finally figure out how to get Alexa - or whatever yo...

AI - artificial intelligence - is everywhere these days. If you haven't heard of it yet, you will! Plenty of people are worried about our robot overlords taking over jobs of all kinds, and in this episode, BJ and Bill discuss how that might happen in the radio business, too. Crazy, but the voice you hear on the radio might not be human - even though they sound just like your favorite radio "person...

Ever wondered how all those old-school radio "call-us now" contests worked? Well, in this week's episode, BJ and Bill tell the exciting, behind-the-scenes stories of how radio contests worked for their radio stations, as well as others nation-wide. Did you ever win something on the BJ and Bill Show? Hopefully, you weren't a "Prize Hog." Heeheehee... Somehow, the conversation turns from radio conte...

Yes, yes, we know. Quite the cliche... Getting old sucks. It's not for sissies. Whatever. We get it. Still, when things start to happen to you and people around you in life, it gets your attention. This week, there's a discussion of some old friends - and how life and time have treated some very well and others...not so much. There's talk of gray hair, no hair, and more. Also, the boys spend some...

Seems that Bill may have had a little too much caffeine this morning... On this Episode - Number Two of Season Two - he goes off on more than a few things that are apparently bugging him. Most of the trash talk is reserved for veggie-based foods, trying to masquerade as things we really like... That also leads to talk about the words people use to describe all kinds of things, including themselves...
