  • BJ and Bill The Podcast EP - 184
    Mar 18 2026

    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.

    In this episode of BJ and Bill, the boys - of course! - talked about the recent Super Bowl, including the halftime show featuring Bad Bunny. As for the actual game between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots.... well, it was sort of letdown.

    The conversation then shifted to BJ's recent medical visit to the emergency room due to a concerning chest X-ray, which turned out to be nothing serious.

    They also announced an upcoming live podcast recording at Mel's Diner in Fort Myers on February 23rd, where BJ will be selling and signing copies of his memoir, "More Parts Than a Chicken Nugget."

    Cold weather in Florida? It's not unusual, especially in the northern part fo the state, and especially in January. But this week, it's been chilly at a whole new level!

    BJ and Bill discussed unusual cold weather in Florida and shared personal experiences of rare snowfall and freezing temperatures, including challenges faced by a DJ at an outdoor wedding.

    BJ humorously recounted issues with his smart home system and thermostat, leading to a discussion about upcoming plans for a podcast recording and book signing event at Mel's Diner in Fort Myers.

    And while there was no football to talk about, there was a very fun and exciting hockey game: One of those "stadium series" games played outdoors! This one was at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa - home of the Bucs!

    The conversation concluded with discussions about sports, the Grammy Awards, and aging, while also touching on BJ's new book release.

    Big news! BJ and Bill - The Podcast is going on the road! Are you in SW Floroida? Mark your calendar. We'll be LIVE at Mel's Diner in Fort Myers on February 23rd at 2 PM.

    After the live recording of the show, BJ will also stick around to sell and sign copies of his new book, "More Parts Than a Chicken Nugget." It's going to be awesome!
