BJ & Bill The Podcast

This week, it's all about "story." Seems that with everything the boys talk about this week, there's a big or funny, or both, story behind it. Starts out with talk of a high school janitor-turned-singer on one of those reality TV shows...

But story goes all through the show, with stories from people BJ has connected with along his heart-transplant journey, to Bill's story on joining and then getting off of dating and relationship websites. 

Also, BJ asks Bill for help in trying to stop using the dreaded "you know" in everyday conversation and on the podcast. How's that going? You'll have to tune in to find out.

Bad week for fans of the Tampa Bay Bucs...and the boys are feelin' it on the show this week. BJ's little self-wager to buy a new Bucs jersey is out the window, and Bill is not too happy about the Cleveland Browns showing, either. Ah well, another week in sports.

Also this week, BJ asks Bill a "techie" question about website and app passwords. Quite the discussion over how to create and (most importantly) remember passwords! Not the easiest thing for a couple of old guys with less-than-perfect memories. 

One more quick question: Did you know there's a real, "official" name for that little "hashtag" symbol? Great Jeapordy (or bar bet) question. Check it out... 

All that and more, as they say in show biz.

The NFL season is off and running (college football, too), so the boys spend a bit of time talking football, and their favorite teams. Of course BJ has to put in a good word for NASCAR Racing, even though he's not a fan of their "playoff" system. How does that even work with racing, anyway? 

There's some talk of the "portal" system, where players in college football can move around to different teams, just like being traded in the NFL, except this is up to the player, and not the team. Makes BJ and Bill wish for a their own personal "portals" to move around the world... Star Trek "transporter," anyone? 

All that and more, as they say in show biz.

The new NFL season is off and running (and kicking, and passing) and the boys have plenty to talk about. Podcat fav team the Tampa Bay Buccaneers started with a good win, and that's got BJ making a little wager with himself. If the Bucs - with quarterback Baker Mayfield at the helm - can win two more in a row, he'll buy himself an expense, official NFL jerseys, with Mayfield's name on the back. Will it happen? Stay tuned, to both the show and the NFL.

Other fun stuff this week. Checking in on BJ's new electric car, and the fact that it takes real computer button-pushing skills to make it all work. Not a great thing for tech-challenged BJ.. but at least he has his wife as co-pilot for all the technical details. 

All that and more, as they say in show biz.

This week - lots of sports talk from The Boys. With the Labor Day holiday, college football season kicks off, the WNBA season is winding down, and - of course - the NFL is getting ready for it's big kickoff. 

Along with that, a lot of talk of long-past radio days in Southwest Florida. Recently, some old friends and rivals of the classic BJ and Bill Show announced thier retirement, which led to a lot  (a LOT) of talk about. All good stuff... even for other radio stations that had been "sworn enemies" of the show.

This week - Why Sports is Better Than Real Life. OK, maybe not, but the boys have quite the discussion of a few big sporting events from the past week. Yes, there's NASCAR for BJ, but also the riveting final games of the Little League World Series. Who'd a thunk it? But yes, for Bill especially, it was all a good example of playing by the rules, determining a true winner, and why Sports is Better The Real Life. Let the discussion begin...

In addition, there's an update on BJ's new electric car, and how it pretty much drives itself. And speaking of gadgets that are smarter than us humans, there's a larger discussion on how AI is - still - getting ready to take over the world. Maybe not like The Terminator, but in other more subtle ways.

What a show! Yes, we always say that, but this episode really does have something important, funny, and powerful to say... but you'll have to wait for the second half of the program for it! (And that, folks, is what they call a "tease" in show business...) 

First half: Two old men complaining about the weather. Yes, it sounds like a TV commercial (people turning into their parents). There's a lot of that talk, for sure. Weather, high-tech cars, traffic, going to the beach, all of it. 

Second half: BJ talks about his philosophy of life, and it's both funny as helll and powerful as Sunday sermon (delivered by your favorite pastor, of course). BJ has faced a few health "challneges" in life, and today, he and Bill talk about how to (as the cliche says) "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade." It's a great stuff, and we're not just saying that because we're the guys on the show.

Lots going on this week! The Olympics ended, the NFL football season began! As for the Olympics, did you watch very much? The boys talk aboiut the impressive wins for the USA Men's and Woman's basketball teams. 

As for the NFL, yes, we know it's just "preseason" ... but c'mon, it's still football and that's a very big deal, indeed. Looking forward to the upcoming season, as always.

But the really, REALLY big news of the day is BJ's announcement that's taken the plunge and bought himself a new car... a new ELECTRIC car. You'll have to tune in for all the details. And believe us, there are a lot of details and fun stories to be talked about.

Lots of weather-related talk on the show this week. As this show was being recorded, a hurricane was blowing along the northwest Florida coast, near the area called the Big Bend. That made for stormy conditions for both the boys - but especially for Bill, in Gainesville, closer to the stormy action. 

Of course there's always - hopefully - a story of interest and / or fun in everything, and this experience is not exception. Tune in to hear the boys "horror stories" of the "Attack of the Tree Frogs" during the stormy night. Don't know what that means? Like we said, better tune in and find out. 

Other fun (and high-tech) stuff: More of BJ's on-again, off-again budding love affair with an electric car, and how AI (artificial intelligence) is just now starting to take over the world.

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 first fully electric car, and it was quite an exciting and eye-opening day. 

Now of course he's hooked on this new car, even though it's a bit - shall we say - over-budget. And to make things even more interesting...there's a full-on Disney "Platinum" Edition of this car, so you know it's going to cost some big money. Will he get it? Stay tuned.
