We believe that aging is inevitable, but taking ourselves too seriously isn’t.

Through candid conversations, hilarious anecdotes, and the occasional sage advice, “Are We Old?” aims to remind listeners that while aging may come with its challenges, it also brings a wealth of wisdom, laughter, and new perspectives. So, whether you’re dreading the inevitable march of time or embracing it with open arms, join us on “Are We Old?” for a laugh-out-loud journey through the trials and tribulations of getting older. “Charles and I started having these conversations at the clubs in between sets about real life experiences that made us question our youth, and they all ended with the same question: Are We Old?? We Can’t be the Only Ones! Everyone is aging, it’s one of the things that everyone has in common, so we’re excited to bring some levity and nostalgia to that realization, while laughing at the fact that we’re not as young as we used to be,” said Finoia.

McBee added, “Mike and I are beyond excited to kick off the “Are We Old Podcast” because, let’s face it, we’re all on this wild ride of life where things seem to be speeding up while we’re just trying to remember where we left our keys. Whether it’s figuring out the latest tech or reminiscing about a time when our knees didn’t creak, one thing’s for sure—we’re all in this getting older thing together, and we might as well have a laugh about it!”
