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.

This week, we’re talking American Gladiators, putting each other to the test with a pop quiz on the Top 5 music artists of the '80s, and asking the real question: at what age does “going to the doctor” turn into a full-day event?

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.

    Ruthie's Table 4

    For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
