In this episode of Billified: The Bill Moran Podcast, Bill kicks things off with a playful twist—an AI-generated version of former Jets head coach Robert Saleh talking about being fired. While it’s obvious that the audio is AI, Bill dives into a deeper conversation about how easily people could be fooled by this kind of technology and how it feeds into our growing distrust of information. This leads to a discussion about the latest conspiracy theories surrounding Hurricane Milton and how it’s getting harder to tell what’s real and what’s AI—especially when it comes to critical issues like weather updates.

To keep it all in the family, Bill brings on Dan’s brother Ryan, who lives in Tampa, for a live update on Hurricane Milton. As they talk around 6:30 PM on Wednesday evening, you can hear the wind battering Ryan’s home, even though the storm isn’t as strong as originally predicted. Bill wonders aloud if we have access to too much information in today’s world. Is ignorance sometimes bliss, or is knowledge always power? He also touches on some wild stories about people who took DNA tests like 23andMe, only to discover unsettling family secrets—like realizing their spouse is actually a third cousin! Is there such a thing as too much information?

The episode takes an emotional turn when Bill discusses the late Lisa Marie Presley’s memoir, which her daughter Riley recently completed. The memoir details painful family stories, including the tragic suicide of Lisa Marie’s son Ben. Bill reflects on whether trauma lingers throughout generations and shares a bit of his own therapeutic journey, wondering if he’s ever fully dealt with his past.

It’s a raw, insightful episode about family, truth, and how we navigate the overwhelming world of information today. Enjoy!
