  • BJ and Bill The Podcast EP - 146
    Jun 25 2025

    This week... what's a sports fan to do? The NBA and NHL seaons are both over (congrats to you, OKC Thunder and Florida Panthers!), but now.... what? Well, there's baseball and the up-and-coming WNBA.

    BJ and Bill talk a bit about the WNBA this week, and all the kerfuffle over Caitlin Clark and her new "bodyguard" system for the Indiana Fever. It's an interesting strategy, and it'll be super-interesting to see how other teams respond.

    Also, BJ is looking for a little "getaway" location. Perhaps a small summer vacation to somewhere cooler. Any suggestions for him to check out?

    This week, memories of the original Beach Boy, Brian Wilson, who passed over to that great surfing spot in the sky. The Beach Boys visited Southwest Florida often, and both BJ and Bill have stories and memories of interactions with band members. You will be missed, Brian!

    Also, update on BJ's soon-to-be-published book on his life and health. BJ has also recieved a few offers to talk to other people going through medical challenges, and he's (as always) got a great message of hope and humor to make sure life is always worth living.

    This week, an update on BJ's soon-to-be-published book on his life and health. It's going to be great, of course, and we can't wait to get to work on "getting the word out." So there's a little talk of marketing and other behind-the-scenes stuff.

    Also this week, BJ's story of visiting - as he calls it - "the clown place." What's that, you ask? Well, it's a fast-food place that used to have a sort-of clown as its mascot and spokesperson. Not sure that's still the case. BJ was drawn in by some new TV commercial promising a tasty new menu item. Did the golden arches deliver? Guess you'll have to listen in to find out...

    This week, lots of health-realted stuff for BJ and Bill. The latest on Bill's eye surgery-recovery (gonig well, thanks), and both BJ and his wife having their own issues. No doubt about it, getting old sucks. Not recomended.

    But that's not all. There's also a couple of not-so-hot takes from the boys about the WNBA, and the influx of new college talent...and that means to established players. Its a very "interesting dynamic," ad they say...

    This week - how the heck did BJ watch 11 HUNDRED miles of racing, all on one day? No, of course he didn't attend the races, but his posterior was firmly planted on the couch for both the NASCAR race of the day, and the Indy 500. Whew!

    Along with that, a big discussion of the all-important topic (for us "older folks")... how much "stuff" is "too much stuff?" We're talking abourt all the knick-knacks, stuffed animals and everything else that accumulates through life. Tune in for a deep-dive on the subject! ...and it's funny, too.

    This week, a few tears shed from both the boys, as the NBA seasons of their beloved Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers (respectively) have some to an end. Ah well, baseball season is in full swing (pardon the pun!) and football is on the horizon.

    Also, some interesting talk about getting older and marking important birthdays as they pass. BJ had exactly that this past week, and it brought up some interesting feelings for him. Keep in mind that he was always told how his various health challenges would be a real limiting factor on his life and healthspan... yet he continues to live life to the fullest. Dare we say, a good lesson / teaching for all of us!

    This week, a bit more "time travel," as Bill laments his Cleveland Cavaliers, who may be completely out of the NBA Playoffs by the time this podcast episode drops! Oh well, the perils of being a Cleveland sports fan.

    Also, a big discussion of how "laughter is the best medicine," and a never-heard-before story of one of BJ's pratfalls on stage as a. standup comic. Maybe "pratfall" is the wrong word... he fell, but it wasn't part of the act!

    Sports (NBA Tournament), health travels... a little bit of all the usual stuff this week, and some extra fun as well.

    Memories of Mel's Diner - BJ and Bill's favorite after-show hangout... and some new and upgraded ideas for doing a live recording of the podcast directly from one of the remaining Mel's in Fort Myers, Florida. How much fun would that be!

    And the return of another BJ and Bill favorite things to talk about: Buc-ee's! We're still waiting for construction of the latest Buc-ee's in Bill's neighborhood - near Ocala, Florida. But now, there's also word of yet another Florida location coming soon... in Charlotte County.
