Billified: The Bill Moran Podcast

Many listeners have been asking when Bill would finally sit down for a one-on-one conversation with his younger sister, Kate—and it finally happened. While visiting Fairfax, Virginia and staying at Kate’s house during the Christmas holiday, Bill and Kate recorded a candid, insightful, and surprisingly fun sibling conversation.Bill opens by asking Kate about her experience with Lyme disease in her late teenage years and how he believes it shaped who she is and how she approaches life. Kate shares how Lyme disease dramatically impacted her senior year of high school and her transition into college, including the ongoing challenges of navigating a medical system where many doctors lacked understanding of what she was dealing with—something she has continued to face for years.As the conversation unfolds, Kate opens up about her education, career path, the jobs she’s held, and the travel she’s done along the way. Through it all, her resilience is unmistakable. Bill reflects on what he sees as a common thread among the three Moran siblings—himself, Kate, and their brother Kevin—confidence. Kate questions that idea at first, but Bill points out her consistent ability to advocate for herself with professionalism, kindness, and determination.They also dive into Kate’s creative outlets and remarkable creative talent, her decision to pursue a Ph.D., how that opportunity came about, and the major life changes that choice required. Along the way, Bill learns things about his sister he never knew, and listeners get a deeper look at an incredible woman shaped by perseverance, adaptability, and a “no excuses” mindset.This episode is inspirational, honest, and full of heart. It shows how living with Lyme disease—and later health challenges—helped shape Kate’s tolerance, grit, and ability to keep pushing forward no matter how difficult things became. You may even walk away wondering if Kate is actually the most interesting Moran.There are plenty more stories still to be told, so don’t be surprised if a follow-up episode happens down the road. For now, enjoy this meaningful holiday conversation between siblings, celebrating family, shared values, and the belief that no matter how hard things get, you keep going. No excuses.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/billified-the-bill-moran-podcast--5738193/support.

Consider this episode a public service announcement: double-check everything when booking through Expedia, because what you think you’re getting might not be what you actually walk into.Along the way, Bill also shares some heartfelt reflections on Christmas, gratitude for his family, and how much their support means to him. He wraps things up by teasing some exciting future episodes and upcoming guests.Funny, honest, and painfully relatable—this one’s for anyone who’s ever trusted an online booking photo a little too much.

He also dives into Elyas’s impressively packed schedule, which includes multiple styles of dance, playing the French horn, and even the ukulele.The conversation spans far beyond extracurriculars, touching on their incredible travels around the world, favorite destinations, and how those experiences have shaped how they see the future.

Bill, Dan, and Mark break in the brand-new Billified studio, even though Mark jokes that the move to Syracuse is “too far away” for his liking. The new studio is a mile and half from the former studio in Fairport!  The guys jump right into the NFL weekend, starting with the Buffalo Bills’ dominant win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Bill admits he doubted the Bills would find the end zone after the first quarter, but credits the defense, the run game, and a revived overall effort for the second-half domination. Dan gives his all-out analysis — without taking a breath — until Bill finally has to interrupt him.Why?Because Kevin calls in live from the Gillette Stadium parking lot ahead of the Patriots–Giants Monday Night Football showdown. He talks about the pregame vibe, hanging around Giants fans, tailgating that can’t compare to Bills Mafia, and a drunken joke that… well… doesn’t quite land. Before Kevin signs off, Bill gets an update on his StubHub ticket drama, which ends with a thumbs-up despite a very slow delivery.Then the pod gets into one of the most bizarre stories of the week: Mario V — the accused killer of a healthcare CEO — appears in court claiming his rights were violated. Bill is stunned by the massive show of support outside the courthouse, mostly from women carrying signs, wearing costumes, and shouting “Free Mario!” This leads into a wild discussion about why women often fall for incarcerated men (complete with Menendez brothers trivia) while men rarely fall for women behind bars. Bill even discovers a site called cagedladies.com, and Mark may or may not be considering signing up.Switching gears, Bill, Dan, and Mark tackle the massive money machine of college football, sparked by Lane Kiffin’s monster new deal to coach the LSU Tigers and the staggering price tag LSU paid just to move on from Brian Kelly. Bill compares that to a 60 Minutes story about Georgia high school students possibly discovering a breakthrough for Lyme disease — and getting nowhere near the same financial support. The guys break down why college coaching money is skyrocketing and how the economics actually work.Finally, the crew dives into a Newsweek article about millennial dating, online apps, and whether dating has become a lost art. Dan shares his app-based experience, while Bill and Mark reflect on never having used dating sites. Bill argues that the biggest issue in modern dating is people searching for validation from others instead of within themselves — though he admits that’s “easier said than done.”A fun, honest, insightful episode full of NFL energy, true-crime oddities, college football insanity, and modern-dating real talk.

Bill kicks off this episode by admitting he’s feeling overwhelmed—and sharing a relatable moment from the shower that many of us have absolutely been guilty of.Then he welcomes a very special guest: Alex, a former intern from his morning radio days who has since become a television producer and a member of the Macy’s Day Parade team. Thanks to her, Bill and his son were granted rare, up-close access to all 18 balloons in the 2025 Macy’s Day Parade just one day before step-off.Bill dives deep with Alex about what it really takes to pull off one of the most iconic live events in the world. From months of planning and tight coordination to street closures, utility teams, safety crews, balloon handlers, and NBC’s broadcast partnership—Alex breaks down the intricate logistics that make the parade run with precision year after year. You’ll even hear surprising bits of parade history as it approaches its 100th anniversary in 2026.The conversation then shifts from giant balloons to giant life choices. Bill and Alex open up about pursuing opportunities even when you don’t know how you’re going to pull them off—taking inspiration from director James Cameron, whose CBS Sunday Morning interview Bill recently watched. They explore what it means to build something meaningful from where you are, whether it’s Alex’s next big career move or Bill’s journey through graduate school and growing a podcast company.Bill gets personal, reflecting on the emotional weight he’s been carrying—from the passing of his father to the end of a long-term relationship and a newer one that fizzled out. He talks about the patterns he’s noticing in himself, the tendency to avoid feelings, and how “fun” can sometimes leave an unexpected emptiness.Together, Bill and Alex dig into what real success requires. As Alex says, getting “beat up” by a job or a project can actually become your greatest teacher—and often leads you exactly where you want to go.It’s an honest, insightful, and inspiring conversation between two people who are doing what they’ve always wanted to do, and doing it no matter what.Enjoy.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/billified-the-bill-moran-podcast--5738193/support.

He talks about the patterns he’s noticing in himself, the tendency to avoid feelings, and how “fun” can sometimes leave an unexpected emptiness.Together, Bill and Alex dig into what real success requires. As Alex says, getting “beat up” by a job or a project can actually become your greatest teacher—and often leads you exactly where you want to go.It’s an honest, insightful, and inspiring conversation between two people who are doing what they’ve always wanted to do, and doing it no matter what.Enjoy.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/billified-the-bill-moran-podcast--5738193/support.

Billified has a brand-new home! In this episode of Billified: The Bill Moran Podcast, Bill welcomes Kevin and Dan into the brand-new Mack of All Trades studio and breaks down the wild chain of events that led to the move. From a perfectly timed call from Kevin to a little help from his good friend Adderall, Bill shares the chaotic, hilarious, and shockingly relatable story behind the studio’s early launch.Bill opens up about his love of Adderall, the side effects he’s dealing with, and the surprising warning he received from a grad-school cohort who heard the show and cautioned him about addiction. Dan jumps in with his own experience quitting Adderall a decade ago—and why. Despite the concerns, Bill insists the momentum has been too good to stop now.Then it’s on to football: Dan breaks down the Buffalo Bills’ ugly loss, why he “called it,” and why he thinks the team is in serious trouble. He points to a video showing receivers failing to gain separation and explains why the Texans’ defensive strategy was a major sign of disrespect. Bill wonders—are we staring down the season of disappointment Bills fans feared?From there, the guys dive into the busiest travel week of the year, reacting to a viral meltdown of a woman losing it at a Denver airport after a Southwest delay and oversold flight. Bill plays the audio, and the crew debates how they’d react if it were a stranger, a family member… or even their own girlfriend or wife. Bill adds a personal story that hits a little too close to home.The conversation shifts to cars when Bill learns the fastest car in the world is now from China—and another Chinese EV was reportedly deemed not street-legal in the U.S. The guys question whether lobbying could be keeping low-cost competitors out of the American market.And finally, a real-life Ferris Bueller moment: a young valet takes a $115,000 Mercedes convertible on a 128 mph joyride. Kevin doubts the story, Bill pushes back, and everyone laughs their way to the episode wrap-up. Before signing off for Thanksgiving, Kevin pitches a hilarious idea involving Bill, his brother, wine, and the new Buffalo Bills Hallmark movie—and if it happens, it could be legendary.It’s chaos, comedy, confession, and controversy… all in one episode.
