BJ and Bill The Podcast EP - 76

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-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! 

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...

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. Also, the name of the show's Facebook page has been updated. Search for "BJandBillTHEPodcast" now. (Capital letters not needed.) 

See you next week!

It's the "Diamond Anniversary" episode of BJ and Bill - the Podcast! Seventy-five shows, all gems...hahaha.

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.

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? 

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: BJandBillPodcast@gmail.com, or simply search for "BJandBillPodcast" on Facebook.

See you next week, Swifties (and everyone else)...

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...

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?! 

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. 

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: BJandBillPodcast@gmail.com, or simply search for "BJandBillPodcast" on Facebook.

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.

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. 

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. 

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: BJandBillPodcast@gmail.com, or simply search for "BJandBillPodcast" on Facebook.

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.

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). 

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! 

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!

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. 

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. 

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... 

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.

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.

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.

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...

Again, we wish you nothing but the best for 2024!

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? 

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.

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. 

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. We very much appreciate it! Also, get in touch anytime!

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...

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.

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. 

No matter how you celebrate, 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.

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. 

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. 

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.

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.

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. 

All this, and BJ's latest favorite energy drink. All about staying in good shape, right?

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. 

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.

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!

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. 

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. 

Travel plans for the week? Be safe out there. Show some compassion for your fellow travelers in all those airports and highway rest stops around the country. As always, and no matter how you are celebrating this holiday, have a great week. We are always thankful for our listeners!

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. 

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.

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?

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! 

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...? 

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.

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. 

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. 

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.

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. 

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. 

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. 

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. 

Funny? You bet. Crazy? As always... Speaking of "as always," we very much appreciate you adding your comments, suggestions, and ESPECIALLY reviews!

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.

 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. 

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!

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...).

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.

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.
