The 30 Minute B. J. is a weekly Podcast hosted by Brent Owen, Jim Schildknecht (hence the B. J.), and their "Permanent Special Guest" Puckett. In each cast these old friends, armed with plenty of beer (and the occasional invited guest), will hilariously, vehemently, and drunkenly debate music, movies, books, T.V. shows, and pretty much any other form of Pop Culture smear to which they feel compelled. Now here is a little background on the hosts...

Jim is a Russian Argonaut who fought at the Battle of Troy in 1912. After defending the Persian armada he moved to Utah where he took on his first 3 wives and fathered the first of 28 children. As the head of, now, 6 households he began writing for the Pucknation where he is now a contributing columnist/massage therapist. While it's not a high paying nor prestigious gig it does support him, his 6 wives, and 28 children adequately. It's a modest living but he somehow makes it work like a mid-depression sharecropper.

Brent is a Canadian cosmonaut who took his first voyage into sub-orbit in 1899, at the age of 4. After injuring his ignition finger in a freak basket-weaving accident he was forced to retire from the space program at 6. He then returned to his homeland of South Dakota and began a lucrative career as a sheep herder with his good friend Ennis Del Mar. After losing his flock in the mountains near Salt Lake City he read one of Jim's stories in the Pucknation and sought out this kindred spirit. They have now joined forces and are offering up to anyone who is willing to accept a...30 Minute B. J.

Everybody's Free (to wear sunscreen)

Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of ’99
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be
it. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by
scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable
than my own meandering
experience…I will dispense this advice now. Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh nevermind; you will not
understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded.
But trust me, in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of yourself and
recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before
you and how fabulous you really looked….You’re not as fat as you
imagine. Don’t worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as
effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing
bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that
never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm
on some idle Tuesday. Do one thing everyday that scares you Sing Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts, don’t put up with
people who are reckless with yours. Floss Don’t waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes
you’re behind…the race is long, and in the end, it’s only with
yourself. Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you
succeed in doing this, tell me how. Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements. Stretch Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your
life…the most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they
wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year
olds I know still don’t. Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees, you’ll miss them when they’re gone. Maybe you’ll marry, maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll have children,maybe
you won’t, maybe you’ll divorce at 40, maybe you’ll dance the funky
chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary…what ever you do, don’t
congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either – your
choices are half chance, so are everybody else’s. Enjoy your body,
use it every way you can…don’t be afraid of it, or what other people
think of it, it’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever
own.. Dance…even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room. Read the directions, even if you don’t follow them. Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly. Get to know your parents, you never know when they’ll be gone for
good. Be nice to your siblings; they are the best link to your past and the
people most likely to stick with you in the future. Understand that friends come and go,but for the precious few you
should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and
lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you
knew when you were young. Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard; live
in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft. Travel. Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will
philander, you too will get old, and when you do you’ll fantasize
that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were
noble and children respected their elders. Respect your elders. Don’t expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund,
maybe you have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one
might run out. Don’t mess too much with your hair, or by the time you’re 40, it will
look 85. Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who
supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of
fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the
ugly parts and recycling it for more than
it’s worth. But trust me on the sunscreen…

A word from Jim

Hey there peoples. I thought I would post on here just because I am bored.

I just wanted to tell everyone that sends pointless forwards about businesses you should boycott or sad stories of mutilated children at Walmart that need our money, that I think you shouldn’t be allowed to use the internet. And you should maybe die.

That’s all I got, really.

I think I’ll start posting here more.

Maybe.

If my cat lets me.

STEVE JOBS AT HOME IN 1982 — “This was a very typical time. I was single. All you needed was a cup of tea, a light, and your stereo, you know, and that’s what I had.” 
Is there any doubt that Jobso is the coolest man of our parents generation?

But he is the penis contest equivalent of a crusty troll on the outer edges of the crowd, standing on his tiptoes, snickering at a freckle on my stallion sword while the crooked mealworm in his baggy boxers twitches in the anonymous silk darkness.
