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.

Plus, stay tuned at the end of the show for two original songs, "Memories" and "Tangent," written specifically for our podcast. 

A nostalgic glimpse and ride through our schools days of the '70s and '80s...where the bell rang, and life happened. It was magical.

If you thought we were random before, buckle up... this one’s next level! Joining us this episode is Josh Phelps, podcast host of Healthy Team Healthy Business, musician, and owner of Winchester Metals.

We’re diving into wild cartoon speculation, tackling questions like: How was Skeletor so jacked? Were we gullible kids? How did Scooby and the Gang always have gas money while Fred was still rocking a foot-powered car? From He-Man and The Flintstones to Justice League and Legion of Doom, it’s a nostalgic ride full of laughs. Plus, stick around for some Taxi trivia at the end!

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.
