Old Chile spins a truly unforgettable tale of Texas football, small-town payback, and the most expensive prostate exam in booster club history. When cranky oilman Charlie Bates strong-arms his way into a physical with pediatrician Slip Phillips, things don’t quite go as planned. One frozen latex glove, one hidden camera, and one very public auction l...
Old Chile introduces us to Roy—the flashiest, fiercest, most unforgettable character to ever disco-dance into danger. From silk shirts and diamond-studded Rolexes to wartime poker rings and after-hours shootouts, Roy wasn’t just a man—he was a walking firecracker in gator loafers. In this explosive tale (literally), Chile recounts how a would-be robbery turned into a foot-blasting lesson from one bad old man who w...
Old Chile takes you on a “high-stakes” investigation straight out of a gumbo-flavored detective novel—minus the professionalism. It’s 1974, and a routine child custody surveillance turns into a beer-soaked stakeout, complete with pork rinds, pizza, and near arrest. When four armed men surround the car in the dead of night, Chile braces for the end—until one of them turns out to be a frat brother with a...
Old Chile stirs up a Texas-sized tale of friendship, faith, and 75 gallons of gumbo gone rogue. When the local Episcopal minister ropes him and the McKinney police chief into cooking for a church fundraiser, things quickly go off-recipe—no silverware, no idea how to use the soup kettles, and a final gumbo spill that sends the neighborhood pets into a Cajun frenzy. It’s a story of community, chaos, and just enough roux t...
Old Chile lifts the curtain on one of life’s more delicate adventures: his very own vasectomy, or as he calls it—The Gelding. With plenty of pre-op “research” (read: beers and bad advice), a homegrown shave job, and enough one-liners to keep the surgical staff blushing, Chile turns a nerve-wracking rite of passage into a comedy of errors. From pink Easter egg jokes to post...
Old Chile brings the party—and a handful of .22 bullets—to a not-so-peaceful sixth birthday bash. With tap shoes for Lucy, a bullhorn for Brian, and four shiny cartridges tucked under his tongue, Chile manages to dodge Simon Says, fake-swallow live ammo, and send a roomful of moms into a frenzy. A call to Goose Creek Hospital, a dramatic drive,...
Old Chile takes us back to one fateful Thursday night filled with Groucho Marx, choir practice, and a surprise trip to the emergency bathroom. While Mom and Dad sang hymns, Chile stayed home with his TV-loving grandmother and a junk drawer full of temptation. One pen knife, one overstuffed chair, and one nose later… well, let’s just say Grouch...
Old Chile takes us back to a simpler time—when jukeboxes bubbled, fries came with tartar sauce, and Grandpa’s pants were always one beer away from disaster. In this tale of burgers, backfires, and bare-bottomed blunders, Chile recounts a fateful lunch at the Rebel Inn with Daddy Max—a Studebaker-driving, camel-smoking character with a love for Pearl beer and zero regard for belts. It’s heartwarming, hilariou...
Old Chile takes us on a two-wheeled journey straight into the heart of boyhood curiosity, forbidden staircases, and one unforgettable delivery run. It’s 1956 in Goose Creek, Texas, and when Chile and his buddy “Hairs” get tasked with bringing mystery bags to the infamous Roxie’s, they think they’ve hit the adventure jackpot. What they find upstairs? Red lamps, sheer tops, and life lessons they definite...
Old Chile takes us back to the days of barbershop battles, flat tops, and the fateful Mohawk that earned him the worst whoopin’ of his life. From the talc-scented traditions of Old Reliable to the taxidermy jungle of the Trophy Barbershop, this coming-of-age cut is equal parts heartwarming, hilarious, and hairy. Turns out, the rite of passage to manhood sometimes starts with a pair of clippers and ends with dad’s belt. ...
Old Chile takes us for a wild ride through the misadventures of his first luxury car—Auto, a 1964 Mercedes-Benz with more quirks than horsepower. From goat pellets in the glovebox to pushing executives in wool suits through Austin traffic, this strange-but-true tale proves that sometimes, love for a car defies all mechanical logic. Buckle up—this one'...

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
