Love the ’70s and ’80s? So do we. Slice of Life is your backstage pass to mixtapes, cartoons, and the beautiful chaos of growing up back then. Real stories. Big laughs. A delightful exploration of the human journey that seamlessly blends nostalgia, humor, and heartfelt storytelling.

ABOUT THE SHOW

Slice of Life isn't a production. It's a conversation.

No celebrity guests. No elaborate segments. No weekly release schedule built around an algorithm.


Just Jay and Rich sitting down and talking the way people used to talk... around a kitchen table, at a backyard cookout, over coffee that's gone a little cold.

The topics often start in the 70s and 80s. Atari. Saturday morning cartoons. School lunches. Cassette tapes. Dodgeball.


But that's the doorway, not the destination.

What people are really listening for is harder to name and easier to feel. It's the laughter between two people who genuinely like each other. It's a story that unlocks a memory you hadn't thought about in years. It's the sensation of spending an hour with friends... even if you've never met them.


That's why someone in Australia, Germany, South Africa, or the UK tunes in to a show about growing up in America. Not because they had the same experiences.

Because they remember their own version of them.


Listeners in 56 countries, one thing is clear. The nostalgia is the doorway. The real product is the feeling. And that's something no production budget can manufacture.


Hosted by Jay and Rich... two lifelong friends with a 30-year bond... the show captures the essence of growing up in the ’70s and ’80s and reflects on the moments that shaped us from then to now. They’ll make you feel right at home.
𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗷𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝘂𝘀—𝗮𝘀 𝘄𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲 𝘂𝗽 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀, 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘀𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝘁 𝗮 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲.

Jay brings a unique flair as an award-winning author, professional storyteller, and John Maxwell certified trainer. His experiences as a national speaker and devoted family man enrich every episode with insight and authenticity.

Rich adds a twist as a Marketing Executive, Public Figure, author, and Social Media Influencer. With over 25 years in retail, marketing, and media, he brings practical wisdom, creativity, and just the right dose of levity.

Restaurants may be gone... but our memories are open 24/7. 

Before there was fast-casual and delivery apps, there was Red Barn after a Little League win, ice cream at Farrell's and the covered wagon out front of Bonanza that meant you were about to eat like a cowboy. This week, Jay & Rich take a walk through the restaurants that shaped a generation... Sizzler, Ponderosa, Chi-Chi's, Howard Johnson's, Hardee's, Ground Round, Burger Chef, Arthur Treacher's, and more.

But this isn't really about the food. It's about who was sitting across the table. It's about the birthday parties, the free ice cream sundae, the family dinners after church, the smell of a place that somehow still lives in your memory decades later. These restaurants are gone (mostly), but the moments we held onto us never left.

Grab a seat, hit play, and take a trip back to the tables where so many of our best memories were made. 

Streaming everywhere — 48 Countries and Nearly 450 Cities with new episodes each month. 

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. Come taste it for yourself at 855 Bloomery Pike, Augusta, West Virginia 26704

Episode #25: BUT WAIT... THERE'S MORE! The Greatest Infomercials of All Time

BUT WAIT... THERE'S MORE!

This week, Jay and Rich travel back to a time when late night television belonged to legendary pitchmen like Ron Popeil, Billy Mays, and a cast of larger-than-life sales personalities who could convince America that absolutely everyone needed one more gadget. For $3.99!

Before Amazon, TikTok, unboxing reviews, and influencer marketing, there were infomercials—where a charismatic pitchman, a catchy slogan, and a dramatic product demonstration could turn a simple gadget into a must-have sensation overnight.

From the Veg-O-Matic, Pocket Fisherman, Ginsu Knives, Flowbee, ThighMaster, ShamWow, Slap Chop, OxiClean, Mr. Microphone, and the unforgettable Big Mouth Billy Bass, the guys revisit the products that filled our TV screens and emptied our wallets.

What made these commercials so effective? Was it the demonstrations? The catchy slogans? The impossibly enthusiastic sales pitches? Or was it simply the magic of an era when every problem seemed to have a miracle solution available in three easy payments of $19.99?

Jay and Rich share memories, laughs, and plenty of nostalgia as they explore the products we bought, the products we wanted, and the products we still can't believe existed.

Packed with outrageous claims, unforgettable catchphrases, and enough "CALL NOW!" energy to make your old landline ring itself, this episode celebrates one of the most entertaining chapters in television history.

So grab your favorite "As Seen on TV" gadget and join us for a trip back to the golden age of infomercials.

Because if you listen now... we'll throw in the nostalgia absolutely free.

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.

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.

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. Come taste it for yourself at 855 Bloomery Pike, Augusta, West Virginia 26704

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.

Before smartphones, tracking apps, and helicopter parenting… we had freedom. Maybe a little too much freedom.

In this episode of Slice of Life, Jay shares how he hopped on a bus headed to a school play he wasn’t even signed up to attend, all for a chance to talk to a girl. Meanwhile, Rich recounts the time he pedaled miles from home, flying down steep country hills at 60 mph… no helmet, no clue, and no one knowing where he was.

We’re talking about the risks, the laughs, and the little rebellions that shaped us and somehow didn’t break us.

Because sometimes the best memories are the ones we were never supposed to make.

Change is inevitable—it can be tough, but it can also bring new opportunities and unexpected joys. In this episode, we reminisce about the past—the friends, the favorite shoes, the TV shows that vanished without warning. But as much as we’d love to relive those moments, we can’t go back and stay there. Growing up means moving forward, even when it’s hard.

And speaking of change… we’ve got something new! A fresh graphic logo and an updated intro—because even we embrace change (when it’s for the better). Tune in as we reflect on the transitions that shaped us and why, despite the struggles, change can be something to appreciate.

 Listen as Jay and Rich discuss when Rich was 5 years old. He mastered riding his bike independently, simply reveling in the joys of childhood. He achieved success without fixating on the outcome or possible challenges. Sometimes, our minds can impede our progress by planting seeds of doubt without us even realizing it.

We're just a couple of dudes chatting about the past, reminiscing about the 70s and 80s, sharing stories about how we handled things back then and reflecting on the mindset we had during those times.  We are both moderately successful individuals who have a long 30-year friendship, and… being brave enough to suck at something new like starting a podcast.
