In this lively episode of Billified: The Bill Moran Podcast, Bill welcomes Kevin and Laura to the studio, along with a batch of Laura’s homemade macaroons! Things kick off with a laugh as Bill gets one of the flavors wrong, sparking a conversation on how people develop refined palates like a sommelier. Kevin even suggests that Bill’s brother might have the sophistication needed for that role, while Bill firmly believes that no one truly “grows up”—we just grow old.

This idea seems to ring true when Bill gets an unexpected call from his brother, Gott, asking him to do a peculiar favor: make someone else jealous! Reflecting on this strange request, Bill shares his thoughts on self-esteem, wondering if people really understand what it means to assert themselves. He emphasizes how important it is for parents to help their kids build genuine confidence.
Then, the conversation takes a fascinating turn as Bill introduces “Third Man Syndrome,” a spooky phenomenon perfect for Halloween season. If you’ve never heard of it, get ready to learn about a truly eerie experience that may even sound familiar to some of you!

Bill’s son, Jameson, pops in to spill some local Fairport gossip, with Kevin reading out quotes from the latest incident in town. Bill has to guess: was it a man or woman who said each quote? And speaking of rowdy behavior, Bill brings up the viral story of two Yankee fans snatching a ball from Dodgers’ Mookie Betts. He speculates on how differently things might have gone down in Philadelphia, given the city’s reputation for unruly fans.

Laura also shares highlights from her recent Seattle trip to see the Buffalo Bills play. To Bill’s surprise, she joined a “700 Club” of her own, making a splurge that left him both shocked and impressed. Finally, Bill and Laura go head-to-head in a fun Battle of the Sexes trivia round. Play along to see how you score, and enjoy the laughs and insights in this episode of Billified!
