We missed April, but we're making up for it with a heavy dose of nostalgia.

Hold the pickles, hold the lettuce... Special Orders Don't Upset us... Have it Your Way! Some commercials didn’t just sell products… they became part of who we are.

In this episode, we rewind to the 70s and 80s… when TV commercials were unforgettable. Iconic. The jingles you still catch yourself humming. The mascots that became unforgettable. The slogans that are still stuck, for decades without trying.

We’re talking about the ads that didn’t need algorithms… they earned attention the old-fashioned way… by being creative, catchy, and impossible to ignore. They were and are pop culture.

We discuss why those commercials worked… how repetition, emotion, and simplicity burned them into memory… and why today’s advertising feels so different.

And this one means a little more to us…

We’re celebrating our 2nd anniversary of Slice of Life. What started as conversations about growing up has now reached listeners in 38 countries and 352 cities around the world.

That’s something we don’t take lightly.

So whether you grew up with Saturday morning cartoons and commercial breaks… or you’re just curious why an entire generation still remembers 30-second ads word-for-word…

Press play. Because some things don’t fade…

They stick.

Whether it was the first slow dance, the first kiss, or the first time you had to change your own tire, we’re exploring the exact moment the "childhood" label started falling off. When did it happen for you?

Take a listen to some of our experiences—we bet they’re probably similar. And if not, you’ll certainly take a walk down memory lane of becoming more responsible. Rich... he’s still working on it. Plus a couple shout-outs!

Thanks for listening and following.

Game Night Was Never Just a Game ...

Game night wasn’t just about winning… it was about memories, sibling rivalries, questionable rules, and moments you still laugh about today. From Mystery Date and Monopoly wars to jump scares from Perfection and the games some families refused to play, we revisit the board games that shaped our childhoods. Dice were rolled, pieces were lost, and emotions ran high… and somehow, that was the fun.

We give a shout out to our friends Barry Lee and Sierra Collins. Listen to their podcast at the links below.

The Slice of Life Podcast wraps up the 2025 season with one of our most fun and heartfelt episodes yet… Christmas Classics with the one and only Barry Lee.

We take a joyful stroll through some of our favorite Christmas movies… not deep dives, just the memories, the laughs, and the moments that stuck with us. From A Christmas Story to Scrooge across the years… Christmas Vacation and plenty more… these films shaped our holidays and still find a way to bring us back every December.

As always, the conversation flows the way Slice of Life does best… easy, nostalgic, and full of shared experiences that feel like sitting around the table with old friends.

We close the episode with something especially meaningful… Barry Lee shares details of Chain of Checks. Celebrating forty years and raising over two million dollars for those in need, this powerful tradition reminds us what the season is truly about… generosity, kindness, and community.

If you’re feeling inspired, donations can be made at

Laugh with us… reminisce with us… and finish the season reminded that even small acts can make a lasting impact.

This episode dives into all the moments that make Thanksgiving unforgettable… the foods we crave all year long… the gatherings that bring everyone back together… even the funny disasters that somehow become the best stories. We talk about the kids table, the desserts that disappeared too fast, and the love and laughter that always seem to fill the day. It’s a slice of nostalgia you’ll feel all the way through.

And from the two of us… we’re grateful for everyone who listens, shares a memory, or simply joins us for the ride. This season is all about appreciation… and we’re thankful you’re part of this journey.

Tune in... if you dare! 👻

You remember.... back when our Halloween masks were plastic, that rubber-band strap, filled with the moisture of our own breath, and our candy... some nasty and some pure gold... and yes, Rich wore the same costume four years in a row. And, Jay was the 20th of this character. The skeleton head beside the bed. This episode of Slice of Life is taking you back to the Halloween nights that defined our childhood... the best movies ever made, and the scariest ones that still haunt us.

Jay is super excited about this one… school dances! From the thrill of asking someone to dance to the sting of rejection… from sock hops and cake walks to those unforgettable songs that Rich cannot quite remember, we cover it all.

Joining us is special guest Sierra Collins, host of Branching Out with Sierra. She shares how she mastered the art of scoping out the room, not for finding friends on the dance floor but to connect with the older DJ boys. When you level up with the DJs, you get access to the best songs, the best stories, and a whole new perspective on what school dances were all about.
