    Send us a message, we'd love to hear from you. We missed April, but we're making up for it with a heavy dose of nostalgia.

Grab a tray and your favorite wax carton of milk—Slice of Life is officially BACK! 🍕🥛  New Season... New Logo... New Intro!!  Thank you for making us GLOBAL... 53 Countries and 391 Cities. WOW!!!  There is nothing quite like the slow-smoked goodness at Gig’s BBQ. From tender pulled pork and fall-off-the-bone ribs to his legendary Hogzilla, every bite is packed with flavor and crafted with care. Gig’s BBQ isn’t fast food, it is real barbecue… smoked low and slow over hickory and oak until perfection.

    Commercials That Still Live in Our Heads

    Send us a message, we'd love to hear from you. 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. There is nothing quite like the slow-smoked goodness at Gig’s BBQ. From tender pulled pork and fall-off-the-bone ribs to his legendary Hogzilla, every bite is packed with flavor and crafted with care. Gig’s BBQ isn’t fast food, it is real barbecue… smoked low and slow over hickory and oak until perfection.

    Family Game Night- Survivor Edition

    Send us a message, we'd love to hear from you.  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.

    Christmas Classics… Movies We Still Watch

    Send us a message, we'd love to hear from you. 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  www.chainofchecks.com Laugh with us… reminisce with us… and finish the season reminded that even small acts can make a lasting impact.

    Halloween’s Past...70s 80s style of Horror

    Send us a message, we'd love to hear from you. 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.

    Slow Dances and Sock Hops - School Dances

    Send us a message, we'd love to hear from you. 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.
