BJ & Bill The Podcast

Will he or won't he? Get the new car, that is. On this week's show, BJ shared his experience with a potential car purchase and a conversation with ChatGPT about a possible discount. It's more of an upgrade, really. His lease is up, and it's time for the next set of wheels.

Sadness in Gainesville, Bill's current home. The Gator men's basketball team is out of March Madness, after suffering a very disapointing loss in the tournament.

Fun stuff from BJ and his daughter, after the daughter and her partner met a real, live celebrity at Sea World... and they even had dinner with them!

Other random notes: Stuff about dogs, buying furniture, really, really old history from Fort Myers, and Bill getting ready to move to a new house in Gainesville.

It doesn't happen often, but it did this past week! BJ and Bill were excited and grateful to read a real, live email sent to the show! It was from another fellow podcaster, too. Shoutout to Rick Peterson of the "Always Wondered" show, also on our parent netork, The Podcast Playground.

Plenty of news this week. Bill and his partner are moving to a new, very OG house in the Gainesville area. For you architecure fans, it's a style called "Mid-Century Modern," and that means the middle of LAST century, the 1950's. Very cool.

The boys also talked about the Oscars a bit, and did some deep-memory dives about the last time they saw a real movie in a real theater. Been a minute, for sure!

Also, a bit of sad news... the "funeral" last weekend for BJ's daughters' pet - a bearded lizard! He's gone on to a better place, we're sure.

This is IT! The long-awaited LIVE show... BJ and Bill - The Podast... on the road from Mel's Diner in Fort Myers, Florida.

Mel's was one of the boys' absolute favorite hangouts "back in the day," so we teamed up with Mel's to do the show live and on location. First and foremost, hats off - in a BIG way - to Mel's Manager Bill Malmstrom, or "Manager Bill" as we knew him for all those years.

The show features live interviews with many of our old friends. Other local radio personalities, family members and more. We talk about BJ's book (see below to get your own copy) and lots more.

We hope you enjoy this show as much as we enjoyed bringing it to you.
