BJ and Bill The Podcast EP - 92

<p>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. </p> <p>Other show stuff: the boys talk about legendary actors and comedians from years gone by, after BJ watched a show featuring one of the all-time greats of early TV sitcoms, Dick van Dyke. That leads to talk of other OG's and some great favorite memories. </p> <p>As always, your five-star reviews and comments are always welcome and appreciated. Post your review wherever you get your podcats, and visit us on Facebook. Just do a search for "BJandBillPodcast" and you'll find us. </p> <p>Have a great week! </p>

BJ and Bill The Podcast EP - 91

<p>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. </p> <p>Also, the very important discussion of exactly how to best time our visit to your local Wal-Mart. Yes, it's important! For BJ, it's all about avoiding the tourist traffic with a store that's very close to Disney World. For Bill, it's all about avoiding the college-student traffic, with his store very near the University of Florida campus. </p> <p>As always, the boys catch up on sports, and some interesting stories that "almost" happened in auto racing (one of BJ's favorites). That, plus the usual fun and games of the show. </p> <p>Thanks again for tuning in. As always, the boys appreciate your top-rated review of the podcast on whatever platform you do your listening. Thanks in advance!</p>

BJ and Bill The Podcast EP - 90

<p>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.</p> <p>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 "advanced" age led to more conversation about getting old, doctor visits, and upchucking in the car. Trust us, you've got to listen to find out the details for this one...</p> <p>BJ stuns Bill with some football news: The Jacksonville Jaguars moving to Orlando? Well, turns out, no. But if the Jags do some major renovations (as planned) on the stadium in Jax, they're gonna need somewhere else to play during contruction. Turns out they're considering Camping World Stadium in Orlando... OR... the Florida Gators Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainvesville. NOW Bill was excited! </p> <p>Thanks again for tuning in.

BJ and Bill The Podcast EP - 89

<p>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).</p> <p>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 around.</p> <p>The other big question of the week: How far would you go to see Taylor Swift in concert? Shes currently playing in Paris (as of this podcast date), and news is that lots of Americans are flying to France to see the show there. Seems it's actually cheaper to get tickets in Europe! Swifties, get your passports ready. </p> <p>A little bit more on sports, and some interesting ideas on doing the podcast "live and on location," just like a live radio show back in the day. </p> <p>Also, keep an ear out for a new podcast called "Gut Punched," It's not about fighting at all. It's about how friends and family members deal with the newfound knowledge of a loved one being diagnosed with dementia and / or Alzhiemers'. A friend of BJ's is starting a new podcast on that topic, and BJ was a guest on one of the first episodes. The show "Gut Punched" is also a part of The Podcast Playground network. </p> <p>As always, the boys appreciate your top-rated review of the podcast on whatever platform you do your listening.

BJ and Bill The Podcast EP - 88

<p>What a fun show! Yes, we say that a lot, but this one turned into something special. We hope and trust you'll agree. </p> <p>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...</p> <p>Which led to a lot of BJ and Bill history (separately, in their very early radio-career days). Talking about back-woods and small-town KY radio for both of them.</p> <p>Then, the sad news: BJ was unable to get to talk to Peter Noone when the former Herman's Hermits star appeared live at Epcot Center / Disney World last week. As you know, the boys have been pretty much stalking Noone (not, we hope, in a creepy way) to try to get him on the podcast. Still, no luck. But, it's some funny stuff from BJ's afternoon at the show.</p> <p>Keep an ear out for a new podcast called "Gut Punched," It's not about fighting at all.

BJ and Bill The Podcast EP - 87

<p>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. </p> <p>Also, BJ's ongoing quest to "try" to talk to music star Peter Noone. If you've been following the show (of course you have, right?!), you know Noone was a guest on the BJ and Bill Show many, many years ago. The boys have tried to contact him a few times to (hopefully) have him on the podcast, but they've been running into brick walls... Noone's agent, etc. Now BJ is seeing Noone perform live at Epcot Center / Disney World. What's going to happen? Stay tuned. </p> <p>Lots more fun stuff on the very early days of both guys' careers in radio. From BJ doing some storm-chasing in Indiana, to Bill doing street reporting in Phoenix. Definitely setting the WayBack Machine for this stuff...</p> <p>As always, the boys appreciate your top-rated review of the podcast on whatever platform you do your listening.

BJ and Bill The Podcast EP - 86

<p>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... </p> <p>Also this week, BJ talks about the latest "Reality TV" show that's grabbed his attention... It's all about a legal cannabis store in Los Angeles, and the crazy shoppers and employees. Definitely high times! </p> <p>As always, the boys appreciate your top-rated review of the podcast on whatever platform you do your listening. Thanks in advance!</p> <p>Have a great week.

BJ and Bill The Podcast EP - 85

<p class="p1">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 more.</p> <p class="p1">Also this week, the boys wonder out loud if they’ll ever hear from their all-time favorite in-studio radio guest, Peter Noone. On past shows they’ve talked about reaching out to the former front man of the band Herman’s Hermits.. But there’s been no luck in contacting him.</p> <p class="p1">Well, turns out Noone is going to be performing at Disney World (Epcot Center) in Orlando soon, and BJ is thinking hard about crashing the party, to see if he can get some face time with Noone. Hopefully, our boy doesn’t get himself thrown out of the park, scooter and all.

<p>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. </p> <p>Still, for those that follow BJ's sports-betting "picks," you'd do well - very well - to bet against whatever he picks. Football, basketball, doesn't matter. He's pretty much a self-admitted curse when it comes to picking sports winners and losers.</p> <p>Other show notes: a quick catchup on BJ's health. Been some new visits to his favorite resort, Tampa General Hospital, and some new reviews of the hospitality. Funny stuff, and worth the listen. </p> <p>As always, the boys appreciate your top-rated review of the podcast on whatever platform you do your listening. Thanks in advance!</p> <p>Have a great week.

BJ and Bill The Podcast EP - 83

<p>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.</p> <p>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 friends) to a real live NBA game in Orlando. </p> <p>Also, both BJ and Bill are thnking about - and talking about - starting new, different podcasts. Don't worry! BJ and Bill - the Podcast isn't going anywhere. It's just that the boys have some fun and interesting ideas for other podcasts, and they're putting all that into motion. </p> <p>Have a great week.

BJ and Bill The Podcast EP - 82

<p>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. </p> <p>BJ finds a story about how "old age" starts at the ripe old age of 27! Yikes! How old does that make the boys...? And - as they discuss - how that seems to correlate with old, creaky bodies (and minds). </p> <p>Have a great week.

<p>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.</p> <p>For those living in neighborhoods with the ever-popular HOA's, BJ has plenty to say about some new proposals for his community. Some good, some not so much. How about you? Any HOA horror stories? </p> <p>Have a great week.

BJ and Bill The Podcast EP - 80

<p>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.</p> <p>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 musicians, and - once again - how we're all getting older. Yikes, there's a pattern here!</p> <p>Yes, there was supposed to be a discussion on the popular online game "Worlde." What happened with that? Guess you'll just have to listen to find out...</p> <p>Have a great week.

BJ and Bill The Podcast EP - 79

<p>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! </p> <p>Lots more health-talk, including all the popular tests that BJ gets, and Bill does not. </p> <p>Finally, have you ever played "Worlde?" Apparently it's a thing, even though the boys know nothing about it. </p> <p>Don't forget... BJ and Bill would definitely love to have you (and all your friends!) leave a nice, juicy 5-star review of the show at your favorite podcast outlet.

BJ and Bill The Podcast EP - 78

<p>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. </p> <p>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 the day." It's a lot of fun, lots of great memories and more. </p> <p>Speaking of fun, BJ and Bill would definitely find it fun if you would do them the favor of leaving a positive, 5-star review of the show at your favorite podcast outlet.

Vicki is a big believer in the idea that everything in life is a gift and a lesson for us to learn from and appreciate. She uses her various coaching and intuitive gifts with clients all around the world, helping them to see "the gift in everything," and to create a new perspective on the way we view life and the way we live it.

BJ and Bill The Podcast EP - 76

<p>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. </p> <p>Second (non-football) half of the show: Thoughts about the comedy business. BJ used to be a standup comic (among other things), and he's had thoughts about getting back up on stage. With that in mind, the boys talk about an upcoming guest for the show, a former standup (and actor) himself. Who is it? Check out the show to find out. More guest appearances are coming! </p> <p>After losing a Super Bowl bet, it's now on Bill to buy lunch, and there's talk of how and where that will happen. BJ tries to convince Bill on the goodness of cauliflower "chicken" wings. Have you tried them? Yay or nay? Seems Bill will be finding out...</p> <p>Plant-based or not, BJ and Bill would definitely appreciate you whipping up a recipe of a good review of the show at your favorite podcast outlet.

BJ and Bill The Podcast EP - 75

<p>It's the "Diamond Anniversary" episode of BJ and Bill - the Podcast! Seventy-five shows, all gems...hahaha.</p> <p>On this week's show, a Big Game preview, of couse. The Taylor Swift vs. non-Swiftie battle bubbles over into a small wager between the boys. It's gonna be interesting, one way or another.</p> <p>Would you like to go to the big game, if you could? We mean live and in person? Seems TV coverage of the biggest events - sports and others - has gotten so good in recent years, there's a good discussion to be had: Go live, or watch from the comfort of home, on the big screen? What's your choice? </p> <p>No matter where you spend the weekend, watching on TV or doing something out there in the "real world," BJ and Bill remind you that we'd really appreciate it if you would contribute your review of the show at your favorite podcast outlet. No big game ticket needed. Also, get in touch anytime: Email the show at: [email protected], or simply search for "BJandBillPodcast" on Facebook.</p> <p>See you next week, Swifties (and everyone else)...</p>

Feb 7, 20241h 7m

BJ and Bill The Podcast EP - 74

<p>So... did your favorite teams win? Are they headed to the Big Game? This week, BJ and Bill talk a little football, a little about famous girlfriends and a little wagering.. all about the games just past, and the final "Big" game coming up. Got a favorite? Let us know...</p> <p>Also, there's talk about "cord cutting." For those that don't know, that's all about saving money by getting rid of cable TV, and sticking with just the streaming services you and yoru family actually watch. Maybe you've already cut the cord (cable). Maybe it's time to think about if you really need all those streaming services?! </p> <p>BJ and Bill also discuss the "modern" radio and TV business model. A lot has changed since the boys were on the radio "back in the day." The question these days seems to be: How long before AI (artificial intelligence) takes over the entire business? Or for that matter, how long before AI takes over the world. The boys think a good place for that takeover to start might be with politics. </p> <p>While us humans still matter, these two humans would very much appreciate it if you would contribute a human review of the show at your favorite podcast outlet. Do it now, before the robots take over! Also, get in touch anytime! Email the show at: [email protected], or simply search for "BJandBillPodcast" on Facebook.</p> <p>See you next week! </p>

BJ and Bill The Podcast EP - 73

<p>This week, it's Bill's turn to be a bit "under the weather." (What does that mean, exactly, anyway? Aren't we always under the sky and the weather? Weird...) Anyway, Bill talks recovery after some little bug found him, and BJ talks about his wife returning from a girl's trip to New Orleans...and he wonders what she'll bring home with her.</p> <p>Also on the show: Dating in one's "senior" years. BJ talks about catching up with an old friend, and talking divorce, dating and that whole "new chapter of life" thing. </p> <p>Speaking of our senior years, there's also talk of a new "best of" list BJ has found for places to retire. Of course both the boys are living in a big retirement zone - the entire state of Florida - but neither BJ or Bill was prepared to hear what the number one in-the-nation place is for retirment... at least according to this list. See if you agree. The boys definitely did not. </p> <p>Don't forget - we'd really appreciate it if you could leave a good review of the show at your favorite podcast outlet. We very much appreciate it! Also, get in touch anytime! Email the show at: [email protected], or simply search for "BJandBillPodcast" on Facebook.</p> <p>See you next week! </p>

BJ and Bill The Podcast EP - 72

<p>For some, it's a short(er) work week. Some have a day off for the MLK Holiday... and if that's you, we hope you had some extra fun, and a bit of time for reflection. It's still a crazy world out there, and Dr. King's message is just as powerful today as when he spoke ot it.</p> <p>For the show... BJ reports on how his wife is going on a ladies-only mini-vaca to New Orleans. We know she can be trusted, but how about BJ? Not so sure... Turns out he was actually invited to join the ladies on their getaway, but the boys discuss if that was a real, honest invitation, or if she was just "being nice." You decide (we already have... hahahaha). </p> <p>Also, there's talk of high-tech gadgets and gizmos as the annual Consumer Electronics Show is underway in Las Vegas. That leads to some Vegas memories for Bill, and the surprising factoid that BJ has never been there! </p> <p>Lots more about travel, small towns, and getting older. So what else is new? If you have a short week with the MLK holiday, enjoy it. No matter how long your week is, we'd suggest you enjoy it was well! When you have a spare moment (that's all it takes!) please remember to leave a good review of the show at your favorite podcast outlet. We very much appreciate it! Also, get in touch anytime! Email the show at: [email protected], or simply search for "BJandBillPodcast" on Facebook.</p> <p>Thanks! See you next week...</p>

BJ and Bill The Podcast EP - 71

<p>Pretty sure there are no "spoiler alerts" in this episode... as BJ dives deep into the smash movie "Barbie." Yes, he went to see it...and kept his man-card. Along with that cinema classic, there's talk of other movies seen and not seen in the past few months. It's all part of a bigger disucssion from the recent Golden Globes awards, so check in for that. </p> <p>In addition, there's talk of taking good care of your health in the new year. Seems like just about everyone we know is sick these days, so be careful out there! BJ talks about his heart transplant a bit, and the support group that grows up around people who have had various body parts replaced. Interesting stuff. </p> <p>But, when it comes to actually important, hard-hitting reporting, be sure to listen in as the boys discuss the various fun and fast foods that have been replaced by "healthy" alternatives. Does making chicken wings out of cauliflower made them a health food? Hmmm... </p> <p>The new year is off and running... As we get back to the regular grind (whatever that means for you), please remember to start off the new year with the gift of a good review of the show at your favorite podcast outlet.

<p>Happy New Year! Hope and trust yours was spent with the ones you love and care about. This week, BJ and Bill tackle some of the - dare we say? - "regular" topics of any New Year's show: Setting intentions and goals, and if those "resolutions" will stick as the year goes on.</p> <p>BTW - If you are a listener to the podcast, and also work as a coach or trainer, BJ and Bill would be interested in hearing from you on this big "motivation" thing. What is it that motivates people to - as the cliche goes - "get stuff done." Check in on the Facebook page and let us know. Or maybe even get in touch for an interview! We'd love to hear from you.</p> <p>Otherwise, there was talk this week on all kinds of family-related stuff. Taking care of sick kids, losing friends and family as the years go on, and more. Taking note of the passing years. Being grateful for having loved ones as time ticks on...</p> <p>Again, we wish you nothing but the best for 2024!

<p>The Post-Christmas Edition of the BJ and Bill Podcast! We hope and trust your Christmas holiday was everything you hoped it would be, no matter if that included family, friends, or some other quality time. The boys send you all the best this year, and we're looking ahead to the coming of 2024. Can it (hopefully) be a better year? </p> <p>This week, there's talk of what it was like to work on Christmas (and other holidays) in the radio business. "Back in the day" - before computers took over the world - BJ and Bill would actually show up at their radio stations to be on the air "live," even on the biggest holidays. That makes for some interesting stories.</p> <p>Of course it's a holiday show, so there are going to be food-related stories. Plenty of those to go around this week... with leftovers to take home, of course. Bill is already talking about a New Year's Resolution to get to the gym more often to work off all those holiday-table treats. </p> <p>On to 2024! Let's all wish real hard for a better year. With that New Year coming, BJ and Bill wish you the very best. And as you enjoy your holidays, please remember to give the gift of a good review of the show at your favorite podcast outlet.

<p>The Pre-Christmas Edition! Happy Holidays to you and your family, wherever you are and how-ever you celebrate. BJ and Bill wish you a happy holiday season...</p> <p>This week, along with the Christmas celebration, more sports talk. It's been a crazy football season, and there's some fun stuff to talk about there, too.</p> <p>Of course most of the episode is all about the holidays. Visiting friends and family, gift-giving (or not) and everything that comes with that. And by "with that," we're talking mostly about the food-related part of holiday celebrations. What's your go-to holiday meal favorite? Any special traditions? BJ talks about one of his... his wife's, actually. Credit where credit is due, after all. </p> <p>No matter how you celebrate, BJ and Bill wish you the very best.

<p>This week... More hard-hitting dating advice from BJ to Bill. If ever there was a good example of the "blind leading the blind," this is probably it. Check it out and let us know if you have anything to add or update in what BJ has to offer. </p> <p>Speaking of updates, we'll also be sharing Bill's experience with more advice from BJ... something much more useful and important, in this case: How to warm up leftover pizza! If you'll recall last week's show, BJ talked about the fry-pan method of warming up leftover slices. Did it work? You'll have to listen in to find out. </p> <p>Also, it seems there's a new competitor on the horizon for BJ and Bill's favorite roadside attraction, Buc-ee's. For now, it's only in the heart of the midwest, but for our listeners in that part of the country, we'd love to hear more about it. </p> <p>As you enjoy your holidays, please remember to give the gift of a good review of the show at your favorite podcast outlet.

<p>This week... with the Christmas holidays racing up on us at warp speeds, the boys talk about the latest gifts and gift-giving. Every heard of "Squishmallows?" Well, Bill found out all about them on a trip this week to a local mall. Seems they're all the rage this year. Isn't there always something - some particular toy - that's super-popular every Christmas? Some marketing team is earning their annual bonuses this year, for sure.</p> <p>As always, there's a bit of talk about football, and the college playoff setup. For BJ and Bill, there was a little concern that home-state school Florida State did not get included in the big post-season party... but hey, there's plenty of other good matchups coming to keep an eye on. </p> <p>All this, and BJ's latest favorite energy drink. All about staying in good shape, right? </p> <p>As you enjoy your holidays, please remember to give the gift of a good review of the show at your favorite podcast outlet. We very much appreciate it!

<p>On the post-Thanksgiving show, the boys have plenty to be thankful for... but not BJ, not with his beloved Tampa Bay Bucs. The football season marches on, as does the holiday season. There's talk of holiday shopping and more. BJ talks about shopping at one of his (and wife's) favorite spots, Disney World. </p> <p>There's a good discussion of the evolving universe of Hallmark holiday movies... even though we believe the vast majority of them still use the same two or three basic plotlines.</p> <p>And there's quite a good philosophical talk about respect and "getting along" this holiday season. Yes, the boys can have a little "deeper" talk now and then. Hard to believe, but true. Time for some holiday magic, it seems! </p> <p>As you enjoy your holidays, please remember to give the gift of a good review of the show at your favorite podcast outlet. We very much appreciate it!

<p>Happy Thanksgiving from BJ and Bill - the Podcast. On this episode, stories of Thanksgiving, and travels to see family, and how the radio business sometimes got in the way of those travels and family times. </p> <p>This week in history... one of the big events of the 20th century - this week, 60 years ago. The killing of President John F. Kennedy. BJ and Bill tell stories of early childhood memories. Anyone living at the time no doubt has memories of that day. </p> <p>Travel plans for the week?

BJ and Bill The Podcast EP - 63

<p>This week, the boys talk about having dreams about their work. Not their "dream job," but actual dreams about working at radio stations, both real and imagined. Spoiler alert - it usually doesn't go well, in the dream, that is. </p> <p>There's also talk of football. The NFL season is half over, and it's getting interesting out there.  Also interesting, the NBA's mid-season tournament. Feels like the big boys are taking a few hints from March Madness and all the publicity that generates for the sport.</p> <p>Also from TV...have you watched your first Hallmark Channel holiday movie yet? There's quite the discussion - mostly from BJ - on Hallmark Channel movies. Yes, it's kind of a meme that they all look and feel the same. What do you think? </p> <p>Have a great week.

<p>This week - sleeping with animals. Do your pets share your bed? BJ and Bill discuss the ways out furry friends take over our lives, and lots more. Haloween in the Kelsey neighborhood. No, Taylor Swift did not answer the door for trick-or-treaters. That would have been fun! </p> <p>Speaking of Haloween candy, how much did you indulge? The boys also talk health and taking care of yourself... and what it looks like on a typical day in your neighborhood Wal-Mart. What are people buying...? What are they eating...? </p> <p>When it comes to staying healthy, there's quite the discussion of BJ's lifelong issues, and how - at this point in life - he's basically playing with "house money" as the years pass. </p> <p>Have a great week.

<p>Happy Haloween! By the time you hear this episode, the holiday will be over and Christmas shopping season will be in full swing - sorry Thanksgiving! This week, the boys talk about the way holiday shopping stacks up (hint, the turkey gets lost in the shuffle), and lots more. </p> <p>BJ does his best to catch up Bill on all the various reality - dating shows. Who knew there were so many intricate - and intimate - details. Roses... Fantasy Suites... wow. </p> <p>Then, on to football, and the "Taylor Swift Curse." What? You don't know what that's all about? Better listen in to the show, for sure. Is the Chiefs season in danger? Will Taylor make the Big Game at the end of the year? You've got questions, we've got (funny) answers. </p> <p>All this, and a little post-holiday Haloween talk. Don't ghost us, please! (See what we did there...?)

<p>A wild and crazy episode, marking the big six-oh! Fun and games at the start of the show, a little (perhaps) NSFW (not safe for work) towards the end. </p> <p>BJ talks about his younger days, when sports was a thing. Basketball, of course... being from Indiana and all. Trying it these days? Well, let's just say the boys aren't nearly as athletic as they once were..or would like to be now. </p> <p>How's your memory? The boys talk about how - with all the gadgets and "digital assistants" in the world - we're all losing our memories for stuff like phone numbers, important dates and more. </p> <p>Finally, with Halloween coming soon (as of this episode dropping), there's some talk about life, death, and scaring little kids. All fun! As for the NSFW stuff... let's just say BJ gets into some hilarious ideas about preserving the body (and important parts) after death. </p> <p>Funny? You bet. Crazy? As always...

<p>Lots of funny stuff this week! BJ goes for an airplane ride - with this grandson as pilot! Yes, he's old enough to fly. The question is... Is BJ too old to fly? Find out.</p> <p> BJ re-visits an old favorite hangout in Fort Myers, Mel's Diner! What a fun, happening place that was "back in the day." Stay tuned for more info about potential guests to the podcast from there. </p> <p>There's also a good bit of history... A "this day in history" moment of what's believed to be the first-ever speeding ticket. A "horseless carriage" in England! </p> <p>As always, the boys would very, VERY much appreciate you adding your comments, suggestions, and ESPECIALLY reviews!

<p>It's taken more than a year of episodes. Of laughs. Of tears. Of sports and memories. Now it's finally happened. BJ and Bill talk about... Early bird specials! Yup, the boys finally get around to talking about of the biggest perks of - shall we say? - becoming "mature." Places to go, things to do, stuff to avoid. And yes, it's pretty darned funny (if we do say so ourselves...).</p> <p>Other stuff: The season is heating up, so there's talk about football. Actually, it's all about the Dallas Cowboys, and the Kansas City Swifties...errr, Chiefs. Taylor Swift... Good for the NFL, or not? You decide.</p> <p>Talk about cleaning up the house and getting rid of junk you don't need. One of Bill's favorite topics, and something BJ struggles with in his married life. We could say more, but we don't want to get the boy in (any more) trouble. </p> <p>Of course your comments, suggestions, and ESPECIALLY reviews are welcome!

Tune in to this week's episode to hear who their favorite guest interview was of all time... He's still out on the road, and the boys issued an open invite to have this particular artist come back to the show - in podcast form - for an interview. That would be amazing!

When you tune in this week, you'll hear what's going on for BJ, for sure! </p> <p>Also this week, more travel news, at least the shortened version. A tidbit more Buc-ee's news, too. Bill has a funny story about what happens when parents take away young people's phones and other electrinc toys. There's a lot of catching up on old-time memories, too, with a couple of special shout-outs to old friends. Is it OK to say old? Senior? Mature?

Along with the travel-stopping-and-shopping, BJ reports on visiting a winery that bears his name in Georgia and lots more.</p> <p>For Bill, he gets grilled by BJ on his latest dating-life adventures. As BJ says, he's having some vicarious fun listening to Bill's stories of a (shall we say?) late-in-life dating experience. No worries...it's all good!

<p>This week: Some memories, some current events. BJ talks about taking his daughter (years ago) to an N-Sync concert. Weird? Not when you hear the benefits he experienced when being at the show "live and in person." </p> <p>Bill talks about his latest "retirement." From radio? No, from his most recent side hustle gig in the food-delivery business. "The times, they are a-changing." That leads to some talk about working in the current economic environment.

Who woulda thunk they'd make it this far? </p> <p>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 local options. Spoiler alert - BJ still prefers Buc-ee's, even over more well-known BBQ outlets.</p> <p>Make sure you stay till the very end of the show! BJ and Bill get philosophical - and crazy - over the idea of doing the podcast for many, many years to come. Bill has talked about living to be 100... so where would the podcast be if that could actually happen?

BJ and Bill The Podcast EP - 49

<p>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. </p> <p>Then the boys get to rant a bit about things like healthcare in general, jobs and working, and more. Bill complains more about delivering pizza for a (part time) living, and BJ remembers and shared some of his better experiences and travels from the comedy club business. </p> <p>All this, and more.

<p>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! </p> <p>Here's another - not so trivial - question from the boys on this week's show: Do you post tons of vacation pictures to your social media feeds? We already know the answer - of course you do! The question is: Do you enjoy seeing your friend's vaca in those beautiful, wonderful, expensive places around the globe, or does it just make you frustrated over another drive to Orlando? Plenty of good discussions on vacations, bragging about them, and more. </p> <p>All this, and more. Just like every week! And don't forget!

<p>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...</p> <p>Also, stay tuned as BJ offers Bill some "highly valuable" dating advice. You be the judge on on the value of the advice. Hint: It has to do with who picks the movie for the first date. For Bill, that opportunity is already passed... but maybe it'll help your dating life! </p> <p>The boys also get into a bit of a heated discussion (not at each other) over the "trust the science" debates of the past couple of years. Honestly, they do a pretty good job of keeping it "familiy friendly" ... as they used to say about the radio show in years past. </p> <p>All this, and more. Just like every week! And don't forget!

BJ and Bill The Podcast EP - 46

<p>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. </p> <p>The big discussion of the week is about BJ's heart-transplant history. We answer the question, how long as anyone lived with a transplanted heart? Tune in to find the answer. (Hint: It's a long time, and BJ has some catching-up to do!) The boys did some quick Googling and found the person who's lived the longest... so there's another great guest that could be on the show! (We're working on it...)</p> <p>All this, and more. Just like every week! And don't forget! Your comments, suggestions, and especially REVIEWS are welcome. Those great reviews on your favorite podcast resource are very much appreciated.

BJ and Bill The Podcast EP - 45

<p>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! </p> <p>Like BJ and Bill, Dave has had his ups and downs on the local SW Florida radio scene, even though he (unlike BJ and Bill) didn't shift from station to station quite as much. In almost three decades of work in local radio, Dave was a rock-solid, alway-there personality for local listeners. Needless to say, he's got some great stories to share with BJ and Bill listeners. </p> <p>All this, and more. Just like every week! And don't forget!

BJ and Bill The Podcast EP - 44

<p>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 the juicy details! </p> <p>Also, there's more Buc-ee's talk... how the chain is expanding in Florida, and around the country. Anyone for a trip to Gatlinburg, Tennessee? And of course when you're at Buc-ee's, there's going to be snacks. That leads BJ to a new survey of the most popular potato chip flavors in your local supermarket. Where does yours end up in the power rankings? </p> <p>All this, and more. Just like every week!

BJ and Bill The Podcast EP - 43

<p>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? </p> <p>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. The good, the bad, and the ugly. And yes, there's a little of each of those. </p> <p>There's quite a bit more radio history this week, too. Not just with Southwest Florida, but some fun facts about radio and broacasting history, as well as stations the boys listened to in their younger days.</p> <p>Finally, it's on to another old-guy favorite topic: food. Where did you last eat out? Was it a good experience? Again, there's some good, bad and ugly on this subject. Seems to be a trending topic this week. </p> <p>All this, and more. Just like every week!
