#20: August 21
When Jay Pearce was in the hospital in August 2024, when it was becoming clear that he didn’t have long to live, family and friends came to visit and share a little time. Literally dozens of them from around Illinois and beyond. When he did finally pass, one year ago today, 4:20 AM on August 21,...

#18: Turn This Pod Around, You F***ing Girl
It’s Sara, Cyndi and Gary this time. A little Parenting (for a potty-mouth little Jay), some school and job dissection, then we see who remembers the ‘most memorable song’ each year for the past 100 years, in a YouTube Takedown Marathon.
-
#17 Freedom to Shut Up
Dale and Gary yak about the First Amendment. At the end, Gary talks about his car ‘crash’ (and new car).
-
#16 Ain't Nobody's Happy
(Almost) on the 1st anniversary of the Jay and Gary Show, we're back. And we're pretty upset at the way Trump is tearing the country apart, piece by piece. Gary is joined by Jay's kids, Dale and Sara, and his wife Cyndi. And we carry on. #16 Ain't Nobody's Happy 😣
-
#15: No Simple Podcast
Jay's son Dale and daughter Sara join Gary to restart the Jay and Gary Show. Our conversation is general up to the about the one-hour mark, when we 'begin the show' and talk about the time between Jay's diagnosis of pancreatic cancer and his death (May to August 2024). It gets a little raw. We...
-
#14: Stand Back and Stand By
As Jay begins his chemo for pancreatic and liver cancer, we've decided to put this show on hold and start a new one - "The Jay and Gary Pancreatic CancerCast" - to focus on his journey through treatment. We'll launch that new show in a few days. If things go well... and they're not off to a great...

#13: All Pain … No Gain?
The bad news: severe pain (and Millisse) drove Jay to the hospital Friday night. The good news: they figured out why. The other bad news: a tumor on Jay’s pancreas grew and blocked the ‘outlet’ duct, causing the pain. The other good news: they got Jay’s bowels moving again 💩, and they’re going…

#12: Sleepy Jay& Gary’s Guilty ⚖ Pleasure
Just a typical rambling episode. Not as much on the ‘guilty’ stuff as you might expect.
-
#11: CancerCast #3 — Gut Punch
So yeah, Jay has Stage 4 Cancer. Tumors on his pancreas and liver, and on a lymph node. Yeah, it’s bad. Gary went through lymphoma, Stage 1, in 2000. Chemo, radiation, done. He did two podcasts about it in his old Triangle Talk Show. That’s why this is CancerCast #3. We’ll let the show tell the...
-
#10: Half a Tooth and a Whole New Pearce
Jay has a new granddaughter and a new roof, and he beat the State of Illinois bureaucracy at their own game. Oh, and he’s got some intestinal thing that’s driving him nuts. Can’t sleep, can’t eat. Amazing that he’s doing a 2-hour pod. Gary would be curled up in bed… except Jay can’t lie down,...
-
#9: The Rowdy Facebook Family Community Standards Takedown (and Total Eclipse) Podcast
Another Pearce joins the party - Jay’s son Dale is our guest. We talk Eclipse and more.
-
#8: Do Your Podcast Hang Low?
We do actually get to the topic crypically suggested in the title, but it takes a while. It’s worth the wait. Also, our video production software (Wirecast) just blipped away in what should have been ‘late in the show’ - well after the two hour mark, but once we fired it up again, we went on for...
-
#7: Live to America
Gary has overcome the technical difficulties from last week’s show, and even managed to get this one to stream LIVE - to exactly one person (so far). Are you sure Edward R. Murrow started this way? Howdy Doody?
-
#6: Fundie Baby Podcast
Gary hangs his audio-producer head in shame. He missed a critical setting (he just forgot) when setting up brother Jay in a shot in the video. Gary forgot to click a ‘switch’ that keeps Jay’s audio from going double into the feed. So for the whole damn show (except for a minute or two at the...
-
#5: Life Begins at Podcast
Yes, there's a title. Pay no attention. This is a classic Jay ramble on a trip down memory lane. It may be therapy. https://PeareceBtothersPodcasting.com
-
#4: Apple House Podcast
Gary took a 'senior' cognitive test (like Trump). Aced it. Had to remember the words Apple, House, Table. Changed it for promotional purposes. Otherwise, it's our typical Jay and Gary Show ramble. Toward the end of the show, you may notice some odd silence as Gary tries to play a few seconds of...
-
#3: Banned in Russia
Last week's show was banned in Russia. This week's will probably be banned everywhere because we play too much copyrighted material. Can we claim Fair Use?
-
#2: No Static At All
Jay and Gary give up all pretense of professionalism as they (eventually) get to detailing how they got into the radio biz. It includes some airchecks of Gary from WDOR in 1969 (where he apparently inhaled helium before opening the mic) and KFWJ in 1987, and some from Jay (played off of cassette…

#1: Friends & Family Edition
Jay and Gary - the Pearce Brothers (don’t say ‘bros’) - have both had long careers in media. Now retired, they are slumming in the world of podcasting, the haven of all former broadcasters. Here in Episode 1, they begin building this plane as they’re flying it. And this one is called Friends &...
