Are We Old Podcast

Two middle-aged comedians (Mike Finoia & Charles McBee) get nostalgic while tackling that burning question; Are We Old? Join our hosts each week as they look back on childhood memories, reminisce about growing up in the 80's, 90's. & 00's, and try to help each other come to terms with the fact that they're not kids anymore. If there's one thing that unites us all, it's that we're all getting older. Let's laugh about it together. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Mike and Charles dive into the future or maybe the present as they talk about AI taking over, our national addiction to our phones, and why the cast of Cheers had more real human connection than most of us do today. It’s nostalgia meets technology, with a side of side-eye.

Charles and Mike take it back to the days of the Harlem Globetrotters spinning basketballs on their fingers, gym floors that smelled like rubber and popcorn, and Inspector Gadget saving the world with literal Swiss-Army limbs. From squeaky sneakers to stretchy trench coats, this episode is all about the weird, wonderful world of old-school entertainment when sports were showtime and cartoons had actual theme songs.

Charles and Mike get nostalgic about the real comedy legends—Mel Brooks and Rick Moranis—and how their movies shaped what funny used to mean. Then they hit turbulence talking about travel, aging, and how everything—from jokes to flights—used to be smoother.

The boys get real about middle-aged meals and minimalist fits. Charles and Mike discuss how eating clean replaced eating cheap, and why fashion trends now feel like an extreme sport. Getting older means dressing simpler, eating smarter, and complaining better.

In this episode of Are We Old?, Charles and Mike moonwalk down memory lane to revisit Michael Jackson’s Thriller—the song, the video, and why it still gives us chills every Halloween. Then they dive into the spooky world of scary movies, debating which ones aged like fine wine and which ones just look like bad wigs and ketchup. And finally, it’s the ultimate seasonal showdown: Sweet Potato Pie vs. Pumpkin Pie. Lines will be drawn, ...

From the wild circus that was The Jerry Springer Show to the legendary TV that shaped the 80s, we’re breaking down the chaos and the classics. Plus, a reminder that stretching isn’t just for yoga instructors—it’s for anybody who doesn’t want to pull a muscle reaching for the remote.

This week on Are We Old? we’re time traveling back to the 90s to debate the top music artists who had us glued to our Walkmans, reliving the glory (and chaos) of the TV show Dinosaurs, and breaking down why naps went from childhood punishment to grown-folk luxury. If you ever fell asleep with headphones on or still hear “Not the Mama!” in your head, this one’s for you.

Charles and Mike crack open the nostalgia vault on this week’s Are We Old? First stop: back-to-school memories, when Trapper Keepers were basically iPhones with Velcro. Then, they put their questionable memory skills to the test by guessing the top 5 highest-grossing movies of the 1980s. Did they nail it? Did they embarrass themselves? Either way, you’ll feel like you just got dropped off at the mall food court circa 1987.

    The Burden

    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.
