"More Parts Than a Chicken Nugget"
A Story of Survival, Second Chances, and the Family That Held Me Together
B J Odom and Christina Metcalf
BJ's Story...
For 70+ years, BJ has defied doctors' predictions, turning medical setbacks into smiles and health challenges into hope...
BJ Odom has lived a life the doctors said would be cut short but instead, he's tuned it into a comedy. From farm fields to radio studios, hospital beds to comedy stages, BJ has learned to survive with grit, grace, and a whole lot of duct tape humor.
This isn't a sob story. It's a celebration of second chances, family, laughter, and the kind of resilience that shows up when you least expect it. If you've ever faced hard times (and who hasn't?), this book will remind you that sometimes the best medicine really is a good laugh and a positive attitude.

When my mom first told me about your condition I just think what that would mean for you, the thought I could lose you as a friend at such an early age, but you sure didn't let it slow you down. I remember riding bikes, 4-H, you and your first car that VW bug, all the good times we had.
Karen Smolek, Childhood Friend
Having known you since we were mere high school kids, and knowing the interesting and often adventurous life you’ve lead, I’m looking forward to reading how it all came about. You’ve been a disk jockey, podcaster, comedian, professional wrestling manager and all around entertainer, meeting many famous, and no doubt infamous people along the way. Should be a fascinating read.
