Are We Old Podcast

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, feelings will be hurt, and somebody’s grandma’s recipe might get disrespected.

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?

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The guys talk GI JOES, take a quiz on 90's blockbusters, and reminisce about the days of Landlines.

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.
