Bill welcomes Laura, Matt, and Mark into the studio for a raw and emotional conversation about the recent passing of his father. From receiving the call from his brother to the final moments shared with family, Bill opens up about the weekend that changed everything—and the unexpected gift his father’s passing left behind: a rare chance for him and his siblings to reconnect without distractions.

Expect real talk and a little humor—even a wild story involving a dock, a late-night drink, and some unexpected lawn “fertilizing” at Hospice.

The crew also dives into the viral story of the Coldplay concert and its strange tie to Bill’s own weekend, with Matt pointing out what was hiding in plain sight. Bill gives Laura a compelling book recommendation about the secret life of a private jet flight attendant, sharing a spicy excerpt that grabs everyone’s attention.

Bill discusses the surprising news that Stephen Colbert will be leaving The Late Show in 2025. Is this a political move, or just more signs that network TV is losing ground to streaming? The group compares late-night TV to today’s streaming hits—like the massively popular Love Island, which sparks a brainstorm: could a “BTB Blind Dating Show” become reality?

From heartfelt family moments to thought-provoking media talk and a few outrageous laughs, this episode is moving, relatable, and entertaining.

Bill kicks off this episode of Billified by addressing some behind-the-scenes drama from the last taping—an uncomfortable moment that won’t make it to air but has some listeners buzzing. He also gives a heartfelt update on his father’s recovery following hip surgery.

Then, Bill welcomes reality TV producer and content creator Alex, whose unconve
ntional journey into the entertainment industry is both inspiring and entertaining. From diving into the deep end of TV production to navigating the ever-changing streaming world, Alex shares how she overcame fear and learned that persistence has no age limit.

The conversation takes a wild turn when Bill plays audio of someone who claims to have seen a wild cat roaming Rochester—is it real or reality show gold? That leads to a hilarious discussion about whether this person could be the next breakout star.

They also break down the current state of TV production, how powerful reps are in getting things greenlit, and what makes a great pitch in today’s entertainment climate. Plus, a little celeb gossip: Is the rumor about Stefon Diggs and Cardi B’s BBL breakup true? And what exactly is a BBL? You’ll find out!

Later, Deputy Hurley from the Monroe County Sheriff’s Department joins the show to talk about the “100 Most Dangerous Days” of summer, youth police academies, and—you guessed it—the mysterious wild cat sightings in Rochester. Could it be AI-generated, an exotic pet gone rogue, or something stranger? Oh, and Bill might’ve spotted a different kind of cougar in Fairport… 

It’s a fun, revealing, and unpredictable episode, enjoy!

In this abbreviated yet punchy episode of Billified: The Bill Moran Podcast, Bill welcomes Dan back to the studio after a hilariously derailed first attempt that may never see the light of day! With only a 20-minute cooldown, the guys jump into a raw, unscripted conversation. Bill opens up about his father's hip surgery earlier in the day, reflecting on family and resilience. The conversation soon turns to the Rolling Stones, Bill’s all-time favorite band. Dan wonders how they’ve managed to stay relevant across decades, and Bill breaks down the “magic”—highlighting Keith Richards’ humility, Mick Jagger’s flamboyance, and the unspoken leadership lessons buried beneath the band’s glitzy surface. Shifting gears, Dan tees up what we might expect when HBO’s Hard Knocks rolls into Buffalo Bills Training Camp at St. John Fisher University. From behind-the-scenes possibilities to fan-fueled speculation, Dan sounds like he's already been in the producer’s room. It’s short. It’s sharp. And it’s loaded with insights, laughs, and a little rock 'n' roll wisdom.

In this unforgettable episode of Billified: The Bill Moran Podcast, Bill welcomes comedian, Uber driver, and former strip club DJ Doug Phelps to the studio for a rollercoaster conversation that blends comedy, courage, and raw honesty.

They kick things off with an unbelievable pontoon boat rescue story that even left Bill speechless — yes, Bill couldn’t even make fun of it (which says everything). From there, things take a heartfelt turn as Bill shares a candid update about his father’s health, the emotional dynamics unfolding within his family, and the tough questions no one wants to ask — but everyone eventually has to.

The episode keeps its comedic edge with a deep dive into illegal ATV and minibike madness in the city — a topic both Doug and Bill see firsthand. Doug also dishes on his dating life, including a potential date with Mallory (who may or may not have gone out with Mark), and shares his offbeat first date idea. Bill even consults ChatGPT for backup date ideas — some ridiculous, some shockingly solid.

It all wraps up with some hilariously personal stories from Doug’s days as a strip club DJ, including a look at where he’s been, where he is, and where he hopes to go.
It’s funny, it’s real, it’s Billified — Enjoy!

Bill welcomes Matt, Mark, and Kevin back to the studio for a summer-fueled episode packed with laughs, surprises, and just the right amount of chaos.

First up: a Fourth of July recap turns into a roast session when Mark’s story earns him a comparison to a corgi (you’ll just have to hear why). The crew dives into firework fails, including a cringe-worthy news clip from last year that still takes the cake. Guess the state and the age of the victim — trust us, it’s wild.

Matt the boat guy talks boating etiquette, the awkwardness of tying off with strangers (which Bill hilariously compares to swinging), and what “Blowoff Day” is all about. Will Bill participate? You might be surprised. Matt also reveals why he’ll never co-own a boat again. Ever.

Then things get real: Bill steps out mid-show to take a call from his brother — and returns with an emotional update on his dad’s health and what happened while he was away in Maine. It’s a powerful moment of honesty and reflection.

From there, the conversation sails into gaslighting vs. passive-aggressive digs, the strange rise of OnlyFans “emotional support stars”, and how digital relationships are becoming comfort food for the lonely and lost.

Football fans, don’t worry — there’s plenty for you too.Matt breaks down the Dallas Cowboys punt returner’s latest legal saga (marijuana, a gun, and 97 mph… yikes), while Bill questions how many “second chances” an athlete really gets. Plus, a spicy take on the Miami Dolphins, Mike McDaniel’s leadership, and the ripple effects of a toxic locker room trade.

The episode wraps with a fun round of Name That Tune — and one of the guys loses in shocking fashion. Think you can beat them? Play along and find out.

Bill returns to the studio with Dan and opens up with raw honesty about where he was last week — a personal family emergency that many will relate to, and everyone will face at some point in their life. It’s a vulnerable moment for Bill, but in true Billified fashion, even the heavy moments come with a few good laughs.

Kevin joins in from his West Side studio to recap Fourth of July festivities — including a possible spark for Bill, who may have landed a holiday date from a chance encounter! 

Then things get wild with a jaw-dropping DWI case from the west side: an almost unbelievable BAC and what the driver did after the accident that Bill calls “shockingly responsible.” But should the charges be reduced? You decide.

Plus: A teacher allegedly snaps and takes discipline to a whole new level — is this a one-off or a sign of a bigger problem in education?

Bill says he’s glad to be back — but admits he’s now on high alert. Hear why, and buckle up for another honest, hilarious, and insightful episode of Billified!
