BJ & Bill The Podcast

Disapointment... that's all there is to say about football this past weekend for BJ and Bill. The only winner over the past weekend was the University of Florida Gators. Tampa Bay Bucs, Jacksonville Jaguars, Miami Dophins all lost... and of yeah, FSU Seminoles, too.

Medical news, BJ talked about his wife's scheduled surgery to repair a badly broken arm this week.

The conversation also covered Bill's new Tech Made Friendly newsletter and the use of AI tools like ChatGPT and Eleven Labs for content creation and voice work.

Opening weekend for the NFL! Normally, a very exciting time of year. This time... lelt's just say it was a mixed bag. With the Bucs losing and the Jags winning here in Florida, the boys had plenty to talk about.

Even bigger news... BJ shared the story of his wife having a slip-and-fall accident, leading to a broken arm and other injuries, and a night in the hospital. Not fun, but she's on the road to recovery.

That led to a bigger talk on health, aging, and taking care of oursevles in our- shall we say - later years.

That and lots more... it was a busy week!
