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.

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

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

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.

Take a trip back to when playgrounds weren’t just play… they were obstacle courses disguised as fun. The metal slide of death that doubled as a frying pan in July… teeter-totters and see-saws ready to launch you into orbit… and monkey bars that tested both your grip and your courage. We’re reliving the thrills, spills, and unforgettable hazards of childhood that shaped us.

And a HUGE shout-out to Brian Brehm, award-winning author with the Winchester Star, for the incredible feature article on us and the Slice of Life podcast. We’re honored and grateful!

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.

Summers weren't forever. But we still have those memories.

In our newest Slice of Life episode, we look back on the summers that shaped us. Family vacations, long drives, fireflies, and the kind of moments that have stayed with us long after school let out for summer.

This isn't just about beaches or road trips. It's about connection, freedom, and the feeling of time slowing down. We hope this episode brings back a few of your own memories.

“Oh man, I haven’t thought about that in years!”
That’s the kind of reaction Rich and Jay are aiming for in this memory-packed episode of Slice of Life. After a shout-out to Miss West Virginia, who Rich chauffeured in the 98th Shenandoah Apple Blossom Parade, the guys fire up the time machine and dive into the forgotten treasures of growing up. From the smell of mimeograph paper and Kool-Aid mustaches to deadly lawn darts, creepy ice cream truck music, and fruit sticker collections, this nostalgic joyride is full of moments you didn’t know you missed until now.
