Bourbon On Ice: Recent Episodes
Your Friend Frosty & Your Bartender Mike Whiskey
After spending years braving the nightly airwaves of Cape Cod’s 90.7 WKKL, Massachusetts radio DJs Mike Whiskey (civil servant by day, DnD world creator and gamer by night) and Your Friend Frosty (made of salt, low-key rage, sarcasm, and alcohol) have reunited for an all-new show. Going their separate ways, changing careers, and doing more than five years-worth of growing in a changing world, Whiskey and Frosty team up once again and dust off their microphones. Together, this overworked and incurably nerdy pair will bring their Cape Cod local perspective to why everything west of the bridges is scary and weird, why the height of sophistication begins with food trucks, why the only real holiday that matters is in October, and why the keys to life are strong friendships, strong laughs, and of course, strong drinks.

With Your Friend Frosty recovering from a long weekend (and some oncoming sniffles), it's time to relax, put up the feet, and remember that Halloween is a strange month-long time to talk about very crazy things. In this case, we're re-airing last year's episode dedicated to one of the strangest zombie films ever, starring boy band members, 90s rock stars, MadTV actresses, and a lot of zombies. It's a thing, you'll see. Sit back and relax, because we're bringing you Dead 7, the film just weird enough to be real.

We're coming for you, wacky weird wide country known as USA. You and all your cryptids! That's right, Your Friend Frosty, wearing a safari hat and carrying a large butterfly net, with your bartender Mike Whiskey, armed with a bible, holy water, and a very large stake and mallet, are making their way through the other half of the USA, staring in horror and disbelief at everything from the legendary Mothman to......the Frogman. Yeah, sorry, but it's weird out here. Counting down the last of the 50 cryptids from every state in the country, courtesy of The History Show with Alex, it's high time we got weird. Oh, wait, we already have....sorry.

What's happening here? Or rather, what's happening in all 50 states of the good ol' US of A? And no, we're not talking the politics, we're talking the paranormal. Did you happen to know that there's a strange, weird, wild, and plain ol' wacky creature in each state? Thanks to Your Friend Frosty dredging up a list from social media made by none other than The History Show With Alex, dedicated to a single cryptid from each state. And there's a lot of states, so this is going to take an episode or two. But first, terrible dating advice. Whiskey Asks returns, courtesy of your bartender, Mike Whiskey. Spooky season begins early.

In a triumphant return to both our scheduled programming and also to form, Your Friend Frosty and your bartender Mike Whiskey have gone completely insane and off the rails. A decision making coin. Twenty terrifying questions. Too many outcomes to count! Revelations! Betrayals! Surprises! It's all too much to take! Thank goodness we crammed it into one episode wherein your podcasting duo returns to the mics, recaps the summer, and then dives deep into whatever fate has in store for them. Future President Frosty? Whiskey the monk? Cat-lover Frosty? Fire-hating Whiskey? All shall be revealed.

As we draw closer and closer to the nuptials of your bartender Mike Whiskey and his beloved fiancé, the summer is about to get weirder and more anime-related. Your Friend Frosty is taking us all on a tour of a certain travelling museum exhibit with lots of bones and cuddly non-existent anime creatures. Collectible ones, too. That's right, we're taking a look at the Pokémon Fossil Exhibit, the delightful travelling theme park known as the PokéPark, and (we swear we're not making this up) the ridiculous fever dream that hit stages across the U.S. known as Pokémon The Musical. Yes, it was just horrifying enough to be a thing. Stay tuned for a special message from your hosts, and endure the madness. Summer is here, but this is how you can make it more interesting.

Bring forth the tissues, the tubs of ice cream, and the plasma rifles. Okay, maybe not that last one. But prepare thyselves for a very sad episode all about....sad episodes. For years, the cartoon show Futurama has refused to die and has delighted, amused, and devastated us all with its hilarious and soul-touching content. And four of those episodes that address the latter sentiment are here to be discussed, and they all happen to be about show protagonist, general slacker, and man-out-of-time Philip J. Fry - and more specifically, his family. From a sentimental father-son moment to an adorable hairy stray, these were the episodes that tugged the heartstrings. Tissues! Ice cream! Ray guns! You never know what you'll need. Better bring them all.

WARNING: this episode was recorded before the terrible events of July 4th, 2025, wherein a devastating flashflood swept across Central Texas and has left many, including children at a summer camp, missing or dead. Our deepest sympathies to all those affected by this tragedy, and our simple plea to not be offended as we make light of camping and rainy camping trips - as stated before, we recorded this before the 4th.
This episode you're about to hear is the result of Your Friend Frosty and your bartender Mike Whiskey's adventures in camping, nature, and a particular creepy pasta from a loyal listener. Given Your Friend Frosty's feelings on nature in particular, you can see where this is going. However, it's a full and fun episode: risque Boy Scout performers! Missing animals! Killer bees! And that's just the first hour. Which isn't saying much, as this episode is less than an hour, but still - pile on the bug spray and carry a flashlight. It's the woods, and things get weird out here...

So, yeah, Happy 4th of July and all that. While it's the USA's birthday, your podcast hosts are celebrating a unique anniversary, one thirty years in the making. And just like on the 4th of July when dogs all run and hide under blankets from fireworks, so does Your Friend Frosty from the terror that is 1995's film blockbuster Jumanji. Which, according to Frosty, is actually a horror movie. What's that? A challenger has entered the arena? Your bartender, Mike Whiskey, begs to differ and offer up the claim that Jumanji is not a horror movie. Giant spiders, man-eating plants, and rampaging animals, plus a homicidal weirdo with a gun - how is this not a horror movie? Join in the debate, and head for New Hampshire, we're having a fun run. That'll make more sense when the episode is over.

Ever been driving by a church in your neighborhood, looked at it long and hard, and thought, "Wow, that would make an amazing laser tag arena?" No? Well, you definitely aren't alone. Wouldn't you know it, there are some people out there that did, however. From restaurants to apartment buildings, the lives of de-consecrated churches out there can be rather wild, and Your Friend Frosty just happens to have a stack of them on-hand and ready to share, much to the chagrin of dearly religious Mike Whiskey. Sorry, but the discomfort is real, and it's coming right at you. Say your prayers and prepare thy ears - this one is gonna be weird.

Warning, listeners: This episode is not going to be a light one. Thought provoking? Inspired by actual events? Full of swears? Oh yeah. Kicking us all the way back to the 1960s, Your Friend Frosty is about to flex his legalese muscles and introduce you all to the infamous 1969 Brandenburg V. Ohio ruling, one which shaped the very world we live in today. Controversy? Yes, we have that. Shots at Whiskey for his upcoming marriage ceremony? We have that too. But still, be warned - this is going to be a wee bit serious...

Have you ever wanted to become a supervillain? Maybe a villainous overlord? Maybe a cruel and wicked dictator? Then this is the episode of Bourbon On Ice for you, as your favorite nerds are discussing the dos and don'ts for becoming just that evil and horrible. Avoid the pitfalls which have unseated many a humble tyrant by listening to the infamous list written by Peter Anspach known as the Evil Overlord List and be forewarned about obviously-labeled self-destruct buttons, learn how to not get seduced by attractive members of the rebellion, and don't fall screaming to your own death when battling your enemy in a crumbling and collapsing room. All this and more, plus Whiskey's full name revealed, in today's episode of Bourbon On Ice!

What is it about delicious food? Also death? Wait, can we combine the two? Yes! Inspired by Your Friend Frosty's newest podcast obsession, Mythical Kitchen's Last Meals, there's plenty of talk to go around concerning the simple question: what would be your last meal? While we sling liver and onions, chowder soup, and apps gone crazy, your pair of podcasters try to guess each others' last meals, and share the question posed to all of our loyal listeners. Sit back, pop a stomach tablet, and prepare for the end - it's gonna be delicious.

Warning: there is going to be an excessive amount of cursing in this episode. Also, this is all Whiskey's fault. No, really, it is. Cleaning up his house in preparation for the arrival of his beloved fiancé, your bartender Mike Whiskey happened upon a book, and he has decided to thus inflict it upon Your Friend Frosty and you, our audience. Because apparently it is the spring of Dark Whiskey. Sit back, gird the loins, preclutch the pearls, and prepare for something horrifying: "Dear *sshole", by the Madison girls, a book of particularly awful memos to awful people - and at this moment, that unfortunately includes all of you. Sorry...

Summer is almost here. As soon as we get through this annoying pollen season, that is. Anyway, with updates on Whiskey's new arrival, a terrifying blow to the Frosty Family, and a lot of harsh light and noise affecting us negatively, there's a question we'd like to ask: this summer, where will you be - pool, beach, or lakeside? It's a deep and philosophical question, we'll give you time to think deep. That being said, beware the mermaids and duck when you hear seagulls. It's a very wet and wild episode, so have your foot towel ready.

The 2025 Tony Award nominations have arrived. This is, admittedly, something that only Your Friend Frosty is excited about (no, really, ask his cohost and the rest of his friend group), but with your bartender Mike Whiskey still occupied, it's time to brush off the dust on an old episode in which we hopped in a Delorean and flew many years into the past, singing the whole way. It was painful. It was awkward. And it was safely forgotten. Until now, that is. It's the return of Back to The Future: The Musical, here on Bourbon On Ice. New episodes to return soon.

Whiskey? Where oh where. Your Friend Frosty? You got me. But I'm just a podcast online description, what do I know? Well, everything, as it turns out. Your plucky cohosts are busy, so we're throwing it all the way back to season one, episode twelve, when we discuss what happens when motorcycles and moose mix it up, people try to drive under an extra low bridge, and why driving is just the worst. The worst. Join us and hold on tight, and don't forget the seatbelts, it's Episode 12: But Was The Moose Okay?

It's wonderful. It's yellow, or orange, or white, and sometimes has blue. It's sitting in your fridge, and it goes great on almost everything except fish. We're talking, of course, about the miracle of nature and science combined, known as cheese. And after you hear what Your Friend Frosty has drummed up, namely a shocking international cheese-based competition that both your hosts will be raiding next year (maybe) and a series of fantastical cheese creations that you can look at and never touch or taste - because affording just a pound of them would bankrupt most of us - you'll be super....cheesed. Yes, you read that correct. Sit back, grab the crackers and wine (or in the case of Mike Whiskey and Your Friend Frosty, a large frosty beer), and prepare to be....cheesed. Super cheesed, that is.

Quickly! If you jump overboard and swim fast, you might just make it to shore. That's the only way to avoid this episode - that or turn it off, and we don't want that to happen. Welcome to a new episode of Bourbon On Ice where we welcome the famous intellectual property known as Steamboat Willie into the public domain and spray it with blood, gore, and violence. That's right, we're discussing the upcoming (or by the time of this episode's release, already in theaters) Mickey Mouse-themed slasher film Screamboat. It's real, it's a thing, and it's a sign that the world is trouble. That and killer deer, violent stuffed animals, and Mexican cinema. Enjoy!

Warning. If you suffer from existential dread, do not listen to this episode. No, really, we mean it. Today we're taking a look at something Your Friend Frosty does in his spare time, by which we mean compiling lists of worst-case scenarios that just happen to be lurking on the horizon next to the Four Horsemen. As your bartender Mike Whiskey returns to keep Frosty calm, we hope that you also stay calm as we battle evil robots, alien waste, and volatile volcanoes (believe us, people, they're downright insidious). Steel yourself and take a listen - it's gonna get dark.

Don't you just hate it when April Fools Day rears its ugly head and everything goes topsy turvy? Greased doorknobs, toilet papering, fake cockroaches? All that sort of stuff has been jam-packed into this episode, because we're bringing back the king of unpleasant pranks himself, Circus Kirkus, here to regale us with tales of his evil (although unbelievably clever) deeds, and to laugh at poor Your Friend Frosty, who hasn't recovered from being the lone survivor of a prank war back in his college days. Plus, shaving cream, angry Rocky Horror Picture Show viewers, and unfortunate school mascots! You've been warned.

Good news: Your Friend Frosty is bound for somewhere full of wonder and magic - in other words, a theme park! Bad news, this means that somehow, in some way, he's also managed to cobble together another list of Hypothetically Speaking, Of Course questions, and they're all terrible. And, imagine this, theme-park-themed! Sit back and listen to the magic known as Bourbon On Iceland (not to be confused with actual Iceland), the impending disasters, and the terror that shall surely follow. Food! Souvenirs! Mascots! All shall be revealed...

Imagine, if you will, a catastrophe of epic proportions. Now imagine that it's happening all over again. We're heading all the way back to 2017, where a mister Billy McFarland had the brilliant idea of putting on a music festival unlike anything anyone had ever seen. And he succeeded, for better or worse (but definitely worse). With this ridiculousness back in the news again, and for horrifying reason, it's time for Your Friend Frosty to gush all about his obsession with Fyre Fest, the most devastating tropical music festival that never actually happened and may, by the grace of God, never happen again. It was that bad. It was that hilarious. And it was that much to talk about. So we are.

It’s the showdown that has been coming for a while and also one nobody asked for – our very special guest star, Lord Robare O’Tardis (He’s bigger on the inside) versus the entire decade known as the 1980s. Yeah, it had to happen. Not sure why, but it did. With your bartender Mike Whiskey missing, Robare is filling the slot and pitting his knowledge of the magical bygone 80s against Your Friend Frosty’s fiendish quiz questions. What did the president need fixed? Who drove a talking car? Why were people walking like an Egyptian? All this and more! Sorry.

Not every movie is a gem. Not every actor is Academy Award-worthy. But sometimes, beneath the surface, and often not that far down, is a pile of very bad special effects that may be to blame for everything. Or so we've decided, and thus decree as law - bad CGI should be mocked, lampooned, and punished. Just ask Your Friend Frosty and your bartender Mike Whiskey, who have compiled a list of their favorite non-favorite CGI effects that live in infamy to this day. From giant scorpions, nonexistent sharks, ugly hedgehogs, and... wait, am I reading this right? Does that say "poisonous baboons?" Yes, it's gonna be a wild ride, climb on it, people, and hang on - and better bring some eyewash.

We all have that list lying around (don't pretend you don't) of all the stuff we want done before we kick the bucket. It also just so happens that your plucky pair of podcasters have theirs front and center. And that's not a bad thing. Why, after all, it's a chance for Your Friend Frosty and your bartender Mike Whiskey to ridicule each other after baring their souls and opening up about their deepest desires. And yes, these are ridiculous. From Frosty's inadvertent "adult" entries to Whiskey's obsession with shovels, there's a lot here to unpack. Or rather, to unearth.

Why mess with perfection? Because the network execs say so, that's why. Many years ago, an episode of America's favorite yellow family of Springfield weirdos showed us the dangers of what can happen when the applecart is upset and your favorite shows take a dangerous new direction. So, naturally, we're doing it in real life. Your Friend Frosty and your bartender Mike Whiskey are officially back together and on the clock with a new episode, one that is....completely madcap and crazy, but more so than usual, because we've asked our dear audience for suggestions on how to make our show better. Heaven help us all. Also, fan mail, caped superheroes, and a "guest star" or two. We're back, people.

Where oh where has You Friend Frosty gone? Quick, check every bar from Falmouth to Provincetown. Also anywhere that serves buffalo wings. In the meantime, your bartender Mike Whiskey is here and serving up the first episode of the season, giving an update on things going on in his life and the future of the podcast. That's right, a solo episode. Will he crack under the pressure? Probably not, he's getting married soon and if he can approach that with a calm demeanor, Whiskey can handle anything. Enjoy!

The year? 2025. The madness? Another mailbag episode. Sorry, but this is what you get for following this particular podcast - after weeks of radio silence, we're back with something unexpected yet also expected: Your Friend Frosty ripping open the mailbag and reading what you have sent to us. And these ones are odd. New episodes are on the way, including another check-in with the Wild World of Whiskey, updates on Blargh & Flargle, and just the usual madness (keep an eye on our socials) but we are on the way. Just walking slowly. See you then - but until then, let's see what you've asked.

The end of 2024 is in sight. As such, Your Friend Frosty has decided to plumb the depths of nerdiness, holiday-related madness, and pure mythological terror. That's right, people - the time has come to bring you all the very tall, very hairy, and somewhat merry-adjacent cryptid (arguably) known as "Krampus". We'll see why Milwaukee loves him. We'll discuss his movie career! And we'll wonder why we aren't at this year's Krampus parade, because it's just that amazing. Been nice? Say hi to Santa. Been naughty? A terrifying monster may be at your door shortly. Listen to this episode and be warned of what's to come. But also, stay tuned as your hosts Your Friend Frosty, your bartender Mike Whiskey, and special guest star Lord Robare O'Tardis say goodbye to 2024 and the holiday season - and also have a special announcement...
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, one and all. See you on the other side.

What's that up on the rooftop? It's not eight tiny reindeer and a fat man, it's...one overly dramatic podcaster hiding from party guests. Yes, it's Your Friend Frosty - and he's joined by your bartender Mike Whiskey and special guest star Lord Robare O'Tardis. Having put out the call to friends and family for deranged and mad holiday party mishaps, they certainly delivered, and we should all be worried. Come along and join us for an episode full of ho-ho-horror and merry mishaps. It's a wonderful life...just maybe not at this second.

What's going on? What was that noise? Who are you people? And does this tinfoil hat make my head look swollen? Yes, it's an episode dripping with paranoia and madness, because the usual voice or reason and rationale has retired for the week and is instead being replaced by the most nonsensical one of us all. Translation: Your bartender, Mike Whiskey, has decided to dish out his favorite conspiracy theories and drag Your Friend Frosty and special guest star Robare along for the ride. The moon landing! Birds! Avril Lavigne! Last Thursday! Nothing is safe, or ever shall be again....

You there! Yes, you, bludgeoning an old person during the Black Friday sale you wound up at, or dressed in black and making off with the rest of the Thanksgiving leftovers! We salute you and don't judge. Well, maybe a little. But Your Friend Frosty and your bartender Mike Whiskey are taking the week off to see to their own holiday headaches and festivities, so instead of a brand new episode, we're rewinding back to last year when Lord Robare O'Tardis (He's Bigger On The Inside) joined Frosty and Whiskey for a holiday-themed round of Hypothetically Speaking, Of Course. Prepare for yuletide yuks and holiday hijinks. We kick off the rest of the holiday season with new episodes next week, but until then, count your reindeer and be glad you're not here...

What do nerds do when fall is in the air, the sun disappears at 4 in the afternoon, and there's mugs of hard cider in hand? They dish out the pain! Or rather, one of them dishes out the pain, the other usually cries in anguish. And those nerds this time around are Your Friend Frosty and your bartender Mike Whiskey, the plucky podcasting hosts of this podcast you happen to be following. Before, they covered The Haunted Mansion: Call of The Spirits board game. This time, they're delving deeper into the world of mystery, horror, and darkness with the brilliant podcast channel Eeriecast's brand new trading card game, Cryptid: Creepy Card-Battling Game. Will Frosty's pack of hellhound pups, werewolves, and library gargoyles (really) be strong enough to go claw-to-claw with Whiskey's stormhawks, skinwalkers, and even The Mothman??? Well, if you've been listening up to this point, you probably know how this is going to end, but it'll be entertaining anyway. Lock the windows, keep the lights on, and sprinkle some salt around - we're playing with forces unknown this episode. You've been warned.

Welcome Peter Reid, also known as Sir Peter, a leatherman from the New England kink community and a good friend of Your Friend Frosty, here to tell us all about the upcoming event known as NEL. What is NEL? Why, the New England Leather community, of course, open to all, and ready to crown a new champion. Will it be YOU??? If so, wow, that's pretty awesome. I mean, what are the odds?

Robare is back. Again. Yeah, the episode does what it says on the title. After returning to the recording studio (and we promise, you haven't heard the last of him) last episode, he has returned yet again to terrify and traumatize poor Frosty, say inappropriate things to Whiskey, and be himself in all his splendor. But face it, you wouldn't have him any other way. Also, a terrifying YouTube channel, podcasts of all types and sizes, and a lot of strange names...

We tried, people. We blocked the doors, barred the windows, even tried to change our address and sneak away in the middle of the night - but it was no use. He found us again. Robare returns in a special two-part episode, after almost a year away from the recording studio. And he's got notes. From the "other" podcasts he's been listening to, to a late zombie entry from Halloween, Robare's got thoughts and he's more than ready to share. Us, we're drinking...

We're finishing out the Halloween season with an epic finale. Guest star? Check! We've brought in Circus Kirkus again. Spooky topic? How about the strangeness radiating out of the Bridgewater Triangle, which we assure you is a thing? Check! And how about a strange website full of mystery and oddities? Also check! We're tracking a very large, very hairy monster with particularly large gunboats. All this and more, plus Frosty's self-esteem being shattered, barking dogs, and plenty of laughs at the expense of others. Happy Halloween!

Alright, we'll be the first to admit it, we've been drinking. However, you haven't, and this movie we're about to talk about really exists. Yes, that's right, we're taking aim at yet another made-for-tv horror film, this one written by and starring almost entirely boyband members and pop stars, and also a massive number of zombies, gory deaths and... cowboys? Yeah, things are getting weird, but this is October, and this is also Bourbon On Ice. It's Dead Seven, the zombie western gorefest that you didn't know existed and that the world apparently needed (for some reason).

You've got questions. We've got answers. But remember, none of this has actually happened, and hopefully never will, because otherwise we have a lot to worry about. Yes, Your Friend Frosty and your bartender Mike Whiskey have decided to apply your particular brand of madness, and some of their own, to a set of Halloween-themed questions that we all hope will never come to pass. Candy? Ghosts? Unspeakable hairy monsters? All this and more, on a Halloween edition of "Hypothetically Speaking, Of Course..."

The year is 2007. The place is Kansas. No, wait, don't leave yet, we're off to someplace (arguably) better: The O.Z. Not to be confused with Oz, but similar. Wait, is that Zooey Deschanel?

Don't panic, this isn't a fever-induced madness, but a trek into the long forgotten SyFy miniseries event, their take on The Wizard of Oz but with less singing and more guns, known as Tin Man.

Don't you just hate it when you invest a lot of time, energy, money, or all three into an animated series based off a children's tabletop role playing adventure game back in the 1980s and it gets cancelled before anyone gets to see the exciting conclusion and everyone basically forgets it ever existed except for a niche group of growing nerds who take almost forty years to crowdfund and produce the final episode of said show in a glorious online animated production involving all sorts of twists and turns? Well, then, this is the episode for you! Or maybe it isn't? Your Friend Frosty and your bartender Mike Whiskey are ringside (or laptopside) for an event forty (alright, maybe thirty-six) years in the making: Requiem, the very late final episode of the Dungeons & Dragons Animated Series cartoon.

No, that title isn't repeating itself. Well, not without good reason. This is our very special episode all about "Very Special Episodes", also known as "After School Specials". But trust us when we say, they're all significantly nerd-flavored, because these happen to be all about animated series. Diving into the past, your plucky hosts Mike Whiskey and Your Friend Frosty bring you dramatic tales of guns, drugs, and booze - for kids! Yeah, it's a confusing time. But then again, the early 2000s and all of the 90s were just plain... off.

Coming up on this episode: nightmares!!! Also, a tale of very screwy behind-the-scenes shortsightedness. Your Friend Frosty is dragging your bartender Mike Whiskey kicking and screaming all the way back to the year 1999 where the world sat in hushed anticipation of the brand new fantasy-based video game known as 40 Winks - and then got bupkis, because it was never released. But why? WHY? Well, you'll have to listen to the episode. Also, popcorn, Whiskey's treasure trove of classic games, and dog farts. Enjoy?

The summer is winding down, and we're running out of minisodes. This may be the perfect time for us to... well, record some actual episodes. It'll happen. But in the meantime, have you met our new friend? Also, there's Mexican wrestlers, super powers, and someone's on a date - and it isn't Your Friend Frosty or Mike Whiskey. Awkward...

Warning: this particular minisode deals with blasphemy, madness, insanity, and moderately tasty wafers. Listen at your own risk. But let's face it, if you've been a part of our summer minisode journey so far, you know what you're in for. Or maybe you have no idea? It's possible. Also, there's an evil woman, a lot of math, and some hysteria.

Yes. It is what it is. And what is it? It's the return of the summer 2024 minisodes. Yeah, sorry, our schedules are still not syncing up, but fortunately we have buffalo wings, gluten-free pizza, lots of booze, and a lot to talk about in the meantime. Join us, will you, for a sophisticated talk about classical composers of years past - and then a lot of really bad decision making when it comes to DnD.
Regular-length episodes to return... someday.

The summer heat has driven your podcasting duo apart. Bad sun, bad sunshine! Go, sit there, think about what you've done. Also take that brat known as "humidity" with you. In the meantime, Bourbon On Ice is throwing it back to our most popular episode of all time, a gem from our first year of recording the misadventures of Your Friend Frosty and Mike Whiskey, one particular one where Mike Whiskey answers a Whiskey Asks question and Frosty regales everyone with a tale of intrigue and potential disaster. We'll be back together next week, but for now, join us in hiding from the sun. Stay inside and listen to a podcast or two. Like this one.

Behold: a topic so big, we can't fit it all in one episode. In following with our theme of lists, this time your bartender Mike Whiskey has tracked down a list of the top 100+ nostalgia bait tv shows for 90s kids. Did you cringe in terror at the Crypt Keeper and shudder during Goosebumps? Did you "whoo-ooo" during the Ducktales theme song? Are you a Pokemaniac, or live in a pineapple somewhere under the sea? Then come along, this one's for you.
In this hapless installment, we scrape the bottom of the barrel with everything that you've never heard of, and trust us, it gets BAD. But it was the 90s, so be.... forgiving? Hang on, we're over the top 100 hump, and now it's time to descend.

Then come along, this one's for you.
It had to happen eventually. The internet was cracked open, shaken, and ten of the most horrifying, most strange, most unearthly candies fell out. Well, eleven, if you listen to Your Friend Frosty regaling your bartender Mike Whiskey with the tales of some of the weirdest candies that can be found around the world. Also, there's summer heat, talk of marshmallows, and general strangeness. Come along, and bring some floss. And maybe a garbage bin...
The place: Mike Whiskey's living room. The event: Your Friend Frosty has been convinced to watch, with copious amounts of booze at hand, a strange, epic new tale from the world of Japanese anime known as Inu-oh. Over crunchy cauliflower pizzas and an interfering clock, your podcasting pair will discuss the rock opera musical madness, the terrifying and squishy gore, the true meanings of friendship, and someone may go off their rocker and deny science is a thing before this is over. Trust us, listeners, it's that kind of episode.
We're back! Yes, it's us, your plucky cohosts of Bourbon On Ice, here to tell you that you should go away immediately and quietly, we're reading. Fifty books, apparently, because we've gotten our hands on a list of fifty books one must read before they die, and Your Friend Frosty and your bartender Mike Whiskey are somewhat behind. But first, our top three, and some additional madness involving marshmallows, a holy scripture, and Frosty's hair. Welcome back, everyone!
The last minisode before we return to regular shows (and trust me, none too soon, we're running low on things to stall with), your podcasters with their mics and full glasses are here to entertain with a look behind the curtain at the upcoming audio drama Blargh & Flargle. A short clip of the work we're putting into recording and revising the script on our first episode, take a listen and be... well, there for it. Regular episodes of Bourbon On Ice return next week.
The final minisode of summer 2024 is here, people. Enjoy both it and the summer while they last, because we're back to regular length episodes of Bourbon On Ice this July. But first, Whiskey speaks of the legendary (and weird) warrior known as Krod, while Your Friend Frosty deals with that pesky child-eating witch in the forest. Also, has anyone noticed something strange about that ball of fire that hangs in the sky? Again, regular episodes of Bourbon on Ice return in July.
The month continues, but your podcasting duo Mike Whiskey and Your Friend Frosty (did you hear us shouted out during the end of a very popular podcast's credits?) are still chillaxing. Hammocks to stretch out, sand to track all over the place, the regular. In the meantime, enjoy our second summer minisode, wherein a mysterious bear-like figure who is definitely not a bear makes an appearance, and the rules of DnD are... dismembered. Sorry.
Regular episodes of Bourbon On Ice will return in July 2024.
It had to happen one day. The weight of being so awesome combined with the weight of work and the weight of it being summer, and your plucky hosts, bartender Matt Whiskey and Your Friend Frosty, are taking a short break. They'll be back in June, but for now, enjoy the first of several "minisodes" where memes, nerdiness, snarkiness, and general madness are investigated. Or rather, instigated. Up first, the worst security questions that you could possibly imagine.
See you all again on July 5, 2024, for more regular episodes, dear listeners.
Ever wondered what your podcasting buddies would do if they found a treasure map? Perhaps if aliens got word of this podcast and decided to listen in? And three other completely ridiculous questions that will never happen but, of course, your hosts are just dying to answer? Yes, that's right, it's the return of the Hypothetically Speaking, Of Course questions. Five more questions dredged up from the ether by Your Friend Frosty, and both your hosts are now in the hot seat. Get the popcorn, and drink plenty of water - this is going to take a while.
Happy Mother's Day. Unfortunately, that means your hosts are off doing things that may or may not interfere with recording a podcast, and by hosts, we mean the one guy and not the other guy. That being said, there's a new letter from a Patreon subscriber to be read, and a throwback to last year when Whiskey gave an elaborate German lesson. Enjoy!
The year? 1993. The place? A very bulky PC in the corner of someone's living room, miraculously equipped with a CD-Rom. The thing? A 1990s horror-based FMV known as The 7th Guest. And the reason? Because Your Friend Frosty and your bartender Mike Whiskey have finally decided to pull out the discs (so to speak), blow off the mountains of dust, and play through this unique and award-winning horror puzzle game together. Will their wits run out? Will their heads knock together? What's with all the ghosts suddenly filling the room? Better check on that. And you'd better check out this episode! Bring a flashlight and some sage...
The mail bag is open, and letters are falling out. Figuratively, of course, no one sends us letters anymore. That being said, your podcasting duo is together, for once, to answer your mailed in questions. Want yours read? Email your hosts at WhiskeyandFrosty@yahoo.com. Until then, relax and take a listen. They've got a lot to ponder.
Ever wondered why your two plucky podcasters haven't ever been placed in charge of a kingdom? Well, after this episode, you'll thank your lucky stars because you'll know the horrifying answer. And it's not who you'd think that's the real menace. Your Bartender Mike Whiskey and Your Friend Frosty unleash upon the world their terrifying ideas for a fictional kingdom/hellhole and also share some family news, some support for poor suffering Billy Joel, and even take a quick international trip. Plus, chickens! Yes, really.
No one thought this day would come. Admit it, you were skeptical too. But Your Friend Frosty and your bartender Mike Whiskey have done the impossible (or at least, the improbably) and made it to 100 EPISODES. Thank you all for your support - now let's get weird. Again. Whiskey has a list of other things turning one hundred this year, and Your Friend Frosty will paint a terrifying picture of things yet to come. So....yay? Either way, thank you, our listeners and fans, for joining us on this ride. We couldn't have made it here without your listening ears.
Midnight Burger, Season 4, is just about to drop (unless you're a Patreon subscriber, in which case you're several episodes in already). As such, Your Friend Frosty and everybody's favorite special guest star Robare are taking over the show to talk about another show. It's how they do things here. We're going back to the beginning to discussing the show origins, favorite characters, and maybe survive an impromptu dragon attack or two. Before Season 4, let's enjoy seasons one through three in style.
Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejooooh, no, wow, that was a close one. Think of what almost happened here, people! Best put it out of your minds. Anyway, we're talking about the upcoming Beetlejuice sequel, more than three decades in the making. But we're also talking about something just plain weird that will make poor Mike Whiskey squirm and Your Friend Frosty chortle with devious delight: the now world-famous Beetlejuice: The Musical, The Musical, The Musical. From plotline departures and character rewrites to another round of Whiskey Asks, this episode will make you jump (in the line) and shake (your body line). You've been warned.
They're wild. They're weird! And worst of all, they're real. Say hello to ten burgers from the wide world of whaaaaaat and be glad that you're nowhere near them. Or are you? Your Friend Frosty has tracked down ten of the strangest "burgers" to ever grace the earth, and we apologize in advance. Also, Whiskey.exe stops working briefly, and we drop a new Whiskey Asks (feel free to hit us up and answer!). Warning, do not listen if you are eating, or plan on eating any time again soon...
Not one. Not two. But six new characters are joining Your Friend Frosty and your bartender Mike Whiskey. Yes, they're nerdy and bored, and have crafted a slew of new characters to march bravely into battle and....complete mundane and simple everyday tasks. But will they succeed??? See, when you take massive half-orcs, hard-drinking gnomes, and unpleasant rogues, and loose them on the regular world, things can get a bit unpredictable. As such, your hosts have decided to pit their newest heroes against not monsters, not might, not magic....but pickle jars? Hoo boy...
Run! Hide! And block your mouth and nose - Your Friend Frosty is sick as a dog. A very sick dog, and as such we welcome you to our first ever remotely recorded podcast. Mike Whiskey is way over there, Your Friend Frosty is way over here, and all that separates them is a laptop screen and a couple of recording applications. This should be interesting. But in the meantime, there's also reminiscing about the Halloweeny day this nerdy pair met, woes of a modern pharmacist, and some absolutely wackybats ideas on how to beat the cold and flu season - armed with onions and rendered chicken fat. No, really.
Infinite Lasagna. No, wait, don't leave, we have a point to make. Seriously. Your Friend Frosty and your bartender Mike Whiskey, having listened to far too much weirdness and wackiness online, have decided to weigh in at last on the world's most delicious controversy: the Infinite Lasagna Paradox. Yes, this is a thing, we swear. Grab your tablets and take a seat, this one's going to be hunger-enducing and also a trifle mathematical. Also, there's a guy in a barrel and we announce the official launch of our Patreon Page!!!
It's hard being as perfect as Your Friend Frosty. Yet, he's not without his quirks. I mean, just ask Whiskey. But this time, we're dealing with a specific one: submechanophobia. Yes, that's a real thing. As Frosty details how it all began for him and how merry submarines, electric hippos, and fake squids all send him screaming for the highest of hills, we also look into the amazing work of Jason Decaires Taylor and his underwater work of an entirely different kind. It's a wet episode, people, bring your wetsuits.
So, that happened. The Super Bowl has come and gone, again, and your favorite nerds have decided that it must never happen again. That's right, they're co-opting the entire event and replacing it with something better, weirder, nerdier, and in all likelihood completely impossible. Hey, this is Your Friend Frosty's latest fever dream after all (and poor Mike Whiskey being dragged along for the ride). Go "sports"! Coming next year, the Bourbon Bowl! Heaven help us all.
The year is 1994. Somewhere in Massachusetts, a pair of nerds are getting very angry at pixelated lions and multicolored monkeys. Objects are thrown. Tempers are flaring. And years later, we're still not over it. Yes, that's right - it's none other than the nightmare that was that infamous lion-based video game, one so beautifully bright and colorful but deceptively hard and evil. Call the therapists, we're ready to talk about it at last.
But first! Summer playlists are already in order, because Your Friend Frosty and your bartender Mike Whiskey are so done with winter...
The common cold has claimed Your Friend Frosty. Whiskey has fled for the hills. But not to worry, there's plenty to catch up on. Start with episode one and work your way forward. But in case you don't want to start that far back, Your Friend Frosty is here to remind you of the summery bliss that was our summer episode back in season one: Summer's A Splash. Grab a mai tai, some water wings, and pretend as hard as you can that we're not all freezing to death in the dead of winter. Enjoy!
Close your eyes and hold your nose. That's right, we're asking you to think back in time to your (shudder) very first apartment. The roaches! The smell! The mold! The mice! And whatever else you may have happened to suffer through, we're saluting and commiserating over the latest Whiskey Asks where we delve into the world's (according to our listeners) worst first apartments. Whiskey revisits ol' Virginnie, Your Friend Frosty heads for Dennisport, and later we take a trip to the top of a very unfortunate building in Tokyo. What can we say - they're our first apartments for a reason, people.
Bourbon. On. Ice. Is. Back. And, as if that wasn't epic enough to grab your attention, it's a brand new year and your plucky podcasting duo bring you news of new things to come. What, exactly? Well, you'll have to listen. Here we are in 2024, and armed with your strange new year's resolutions, which Your Friend Frosty and your bartender Mike Whiskey will read off, as well as look ahead to next year's NYE bash (won't happen), and to spill the beans on a lot of changes coming your way with this podcast - and some new projects.
We've missed you. C'mon, let's listen in together. Happy 2024!
Happy 2024. Whiskey has been dispatched upon the rest of New England and therefore no new episode this week...but never fear! Your Friend Frosty is here, and opening the big bad mailbag (or, in reality, the emails from our listeners). If you have a question or two, feel free to send them to Frosty and Whiskey, the Bourbon On Ice duo, at WhiskeyandFrosty@yahoo.com, and we'll be happy to answer them. You know, when the moment feels right.
New episodes are on the way. Welcome to a brand new year, and season 3 of Bourbon On Ice.
As we close out the year, a mystery is investigated at last: we discuss all things nerdy like gentlemen, but are we gentlemen? Well, one of your podcast hosts is, and that would be your bartender Mike Whiskey. That's right, at long last, the sordid, bloody, tragic, and dramatic family history of the Whiskey clan will be told at last. We're talking war heroes, sea captains, and maybe a witch or two (wow, explains things) - and you're along for the ride. Let's finish out 2023 in style, people, and look ahead to SEASON THREE. That's right, you can't get rid of us that easily...
Ew. Gross. Whoa. Wait. What? Just a few things you may be saying to yourself when you hear this episode (consider this your official warning). Robare returns and your bartender Mike Whiskey gets very uncomfortable, while Your Friend Frosty actually passes away from too much laughter. Yes, that's right, it's a deep dive into the rather risqué world of leather title contest questions. Those are the things contestants in the gay leather or kink community get asked when onstage hoping to impress the judges and bond with the audiences, from "what ice cream flavor would you be" and "describe your perfect date" - but waaaaaaay dirtier and just plain wrong. The vanilla and sweet mind of Whiskey is pitted against a dozen or so questions asked by Your Friend Frosty, and also against the dark mind of Robare. What could go wrong?
So many questions, so many ridiculous answers. Not two, but three podcasters have sat down to do yet another round of "hypothetical" questions - but this time with a holiday flair. That's right - Your Friend Frosty and your bartender Mike Whiskey are joined by returning Woonsocket-er and rampant Whovian Robare. Grinch-like contemplations, reindeer related hijinks, and a wolf or two make an appearance in this episode - and strong feelings against or for eggnog. Yup, this is a holiday episode, all right...
It's finally (almost) here. After four years of (un)patiently waiting and hoping, the YouTube sensation known as Hazbin Hotel launches in just over a month - and Your Friend Frosty is positively giddy. Your bartender, Mike Whiskey, less so, but that doesn't mean he isn't going to sit through Frosty's very long-winded explanation of everything we know so far, fanboying over the voice cast and inane details, and generally being chaotic. Grab your room key and prepare for madness - it's (almost) check-in time!
Has it been 90 years already? Wow, time does fly. As in, the time between now and the day when Prohibition officially ended in 1933, and Your Friend Frosty and your bartender Mike Whiskey are celebrating accordingly - with beverages on the rocks. In Frosty's case, literally. You'll see, just listen in. Fun facts (and some dark ones) about thirteen years of madness that visited the US, an exploration of television's take on the booze ban, and absolutely no turkeys. No, really, this is a turkey-free episode. Raise a glass already.
Alleged crime. Marauding mythical creatures. Multiverse doppelgängers. These are the important topics, people, and your friends Your Friend Frosty and Mike Whiskey are about to tackle them all. You know, because they have nothing better to do. Taking on a stack of purely hypothetical questions sent in by you, the fans, Frosty and Whiskey have a great deal of things to answer for - but remember, these are all things that have definitely not happened. Yet, anyway...
The time is right. The mood is right. And Your Friend Frosty has done his research this time and has brought his own list of indie games to discuss. That's right, people, we're capping off our discussion on our favorite indie video games with a peek into the mind of Your Friend Frosty (wipe your feet and bring a hanky) - and surprise, surprise, they're mostly horror. Also, a reminder to answer the recent Whiskey Asks and a reminder that in 2020, we were all super sus. You know what we mean, right?
Indie games. They really do make the world go round. Well, that and gravitational forces and some guy named Isaac Newton (we think). But in the wide world of gaming, your plucky podcasting duo definitely have some favorites - and some just happen to be independently produced. This week, your bartender Mike Whiskey counts down his notable indie favorites, involving battling stick figures, a man in a cauldron with a hammer, and that miserable marauding goose. Also, money, money, money. Lots of it.
Ghosts. One ghost, two ghost, red ghost, blue ghost, and ghosts of also very many colors, locations, ages, and scenarios. A special thanks to all of you, our listeners, who sent in stories for us to read on the air (or the pod). Stories of the spooky kind. The ghostly kind. And the weird kind. Yes, this is our cap-off to the month of October. And we're going out of the Halloween season in style.
Special thanks to our listeners and this episode's contributors Scott Erickson, Circus Kirkus, Robby, David Batsche, Tynan Fox, Bob Morrison, Other Bob, The Eldernerd, Ulysses, Roberto Cuero, Stacey Diane, Master Brutus, and Ivan L. Matias,
We're throwing it back a year (well, almost) to last October when Your Friend Frosty tormented his poor cohost Mike Whiskey, bartender to all, with the tragic recounted details of none other than the "epic" "holiday" "classic": Grinch Night! Also, a sneak peak of what's to come - an extra spooky cap off of the Halloween month with a special episode. Relax, it's the rewind. It's what we're here for.
30 years ago, something mad and crazy happened. Fortunately, it was recorded on film and aired before movie audiences everywhere, so we can confirm that yes, it really exists. Your Friend Frosty and your bartender Mike Whiskey are gathering over delicious cauliflower pizzas and popcorn to watch the massive slice of 1990s action cheese known as Demolition Man on its 30th anniversary. From shockingly yellow hair to the Taco Bell conundrum, and also to the weird concept known as "three seashells", there's plenty to watch, review, and unpack. Come along for the ride - it's going to be extra 90s with 90s on top.
Coming to you from a hotel room in Provincetown, in the midst of a mad and crazy leather event known as Mates Leather Weekend, two nerds (and one of them NOT Mike Whiskey) have taken over the microphones and are bringing you an inside look at..... well, we're not really sure. But they're funny and entertaining. Robare has returned from Rhode Island to talk about his time at IML as a competitor 20 years ago, and Your Friend Frosty is there to sit back, listen, and interject. As he does.
Hallo. Was ist los? Sorry, apparently that's German for "Hello, what's up?" Well, according to your bartender Mike Whiskey anyway, the resident maven of foreign language, particularly German. Listen in as Whiskey takes Your Friend Frosty's head and causes it to spin with a wide variety of strange, ridiculous, and just plain weird words and phrases that Germany has spent decades perfecting and your podcast duo only minutes to completely trash. We apologize on behalf of podcasters everywhere...
What's big, poisonous, lives in your nightmares, and has at least 136 legs? Listen to this episode if you dare and find out - Your Friend Frosty and your bartender Mike Whiskey, for some reason, have decided to rehash seventeen of the world's most terrifying arachnaphobia-inducing spider animatronic attractions from across the globe, spanning amusements parks, haunted house attractions, and even museums. Trust me, these are horrifying - but considering the fact that Frosty and Whiskey had to brave the research on this just for your entertainment, the least you can all do is listen...
Apparently the four walls of a podcasting studio (or Whiskey's game room/bar) weren't enough to contain these two. They're loose, and running wild across Cape Cod for the summer - and they've found a decent source of alcohol! This won't end well. Mermaids will be exploited, bombs will go off, bartenders will tell all, blocks will fall, and sharp objects will be thrown. And no, we're not making any of that up. Your Friend Frosty and your bartender Mike Whiskey travel to three interesting Cape Cod locations and inflict their weirdness on all, from Wellfleet to Hyannis to even... FALMOUTH.
The summer is ending, and your nerdy podcasting duo is back from vacation. Unfortunately, this means more of Your Friend Frosty's dark and foreboding (and scarcely believable) stories, two of which involve a sinister hotel and some shady business. But, aside from that, there's tourist gripes, classic video game woes, and Whiskey is armed with a bow and arrow. Yes, really. Welcome to fall, everyone.
A bonus summer episode? Well, aren't you all a bunch of lucky so and so's! Your Friend Frosty and returning guest Circus Kirkus attend the opening of the (as of today's date) box office bomb The Haunted Mansion - but are determined to enjoy it anyway! Just ask the Haunted Mansion plush toys they brought with them, the nerds. Recording their impressions on a portable mic before and after the movie, you'll hear their hopes and dreams, and then hear whether or not they're dashed. Taking all bets! And preparing all spooks.
It's Your Friend Frosty, your bartender Mike Whiskey....and a guest of such magnitude that we can scarcely believe it ourselves. Yes, that's right, Eldernerd himself returns for his second of two official episodes! Two, because your plucky hosts are tackling a topic so big that it'll take two episode of Bourbon On Ice just to fit everything in: we're talking The Legend of Zelda, people, with a classic gamer, a retro gamer, and a champion gamer. Favorite titles, secrets, perspectives, and a comedic jab or two are all in store. It's dangerous to go alone. Listen to this.
[Part Two of Two]

Finally, at long last, Whiskey has done away with poor Your Friend Frosty. Or he's just taking a break? Either way, this is a Frosty-lite and Whiskey heavy pour of an episode. Your bartender Mike Whiskey takes over the mic and talks his movie collection, his impending marriage, nerdy books, and his work as a cruel, sadistic Dungeon Master (the DnD kind, not the one with the whip - that's Frosty). Also, prick up your ears, because another Whiskey Asks question drops during this episode.
The time has come for some regression. Your podcasting duo are tired. It is summer, dang it, they need to relax, so let's look back into the past of last January to when this madness started as they reflect on their journey. Also, they beg you not to judge them too harshly by their first episode all that time ago (so needy). But first, another round of answers via your bartender Mike Whiskey as he reveals the answer to the latest Whiskey Asks question - and it should be pointed out that Your Friend Frosty is a dork. Evidently.
Happy 4th to one and all (yeah, we're a little late, but this was recorded on Independence Day, so technically we're still on time) - Your Friend Frosty and your bartender Mike Whiskey are celebrating in style. Well, no, they're not - but they have plenty to grouse about. From inappropriate 4th of July songs, strong drinks, delicious ribs, and impromptu fireworks, this episode is certainly festive. And just a tad explosive.
In the third episode of Bourbon On Ice, the world was exposed to the wild, weird, and highly questionable terror that was the personal playlists of Your Friend Frosty and your bartender Mike Whiskey. And now, over a year later, having added so many more songs, they're at it again. Take cover, plug your ears, and run for your sanity - or sit back and listen as your podcasting pair torment one another with everything from Broadway tunes to unexpectedly inappropriate pop songs. You've been warned.

No, there was no theater release. You don't have to buy tickets. You don't need to book a seat. All you need is the internet, a screen, and three and a half hours of your life to dedicate to sheer awesomeness. Your Friend Frosty and your bartender Mike Whiskey crack open the absolutely bananas (in a good way) fan animation movie by Pedro Araujo that covers the pop culture 1996 video game phenomenon Pokémon Red (also Blue) and gives fans everywhere not the game they played but the one they experienced. Also, Whiskey Asks is back, and things are about to get musical.

"Wait, there's a word for that?" That's what you're going to hear Your Friend Frosty say during this episode - a lot. Thanks to one of our loyal listeners, a special list of words has been procured, and all of them have your podcast hosts flummoxed. No, that isn't one of the words. But they are weird. Also, philosophical debates, black holes, and your bartender Mike Whiskey speculates on Frosty's dark(er) side.
Your Friend Frosty is scouring Cape Cod this summer in search of amazing music and happening nightlife. Well, scouring may be the wrong word, the place is local and that's about as far as he'll go - but two amazing acts at The Music Room are definitely still worth a listen. Frosty recounts the performances of Tom Petty tribute band Free Fallin' and later the Barnstable-based band Nikki & The Barn Boys. Also, potential arson, the return of Rosie, and Mike Whiskey asks the audience another Whiskey Asks question.
Look, over there, it's two grown men (technically speaking) with their heads buried in a Nintendo DS and blathering on about purple snakes, spooky ghosts, and fire-breathing multicolored chickens! Yes, Your Friend Frosty and your bartender Mike Whiskey are nerding out again - well, Whiskey is. Frosty is being grumpy and recalcitrant. Either way, they've got a journey to complete, and plenty of pixels and time to accomplish it as they slog forward in their journeys of Pokemon HeartGold and Pokemon SoulSilver.
Everyone duck! Hide! Run! Flee for your lives! Or: accept the inevitable and realize that tourism is what keeps Cape Cod afloat and tourists are a part of our lives. But that doesn't mean that Your Friend Frosty and your bartender Mike Whiskey have to like it, even slightly. Plus, Harry Potter weight lifting memes, lesbian weddings, rude customers, bacon hunting, and Frosty makes quite the fool of himself. Again. Again.
Something new here. Welcome to the premiere of a new feature at Bourbon On Ice called Bourbon-Lite. Fewer calories, what can we say? A shorter episode, but one full of information, with Your Friend Frosty taking a break from long-winded waxing to instead pull open the ol' mailbag from the fans and answer a few (very few) questions.
Want your questions featured in our next Bourbon-Lite or full episode? Drop us a line at WhiskeyFrosty@yahoo.com anytime.
Will he never learn? Apparently not, because your bartender Mike Whiskey is back after yet another round of use and abuse in The Philippines. And this time, he brings snacks! While Your Friend Frosty munches, Whiskey speaks of funerals, jellyfish, purple cuisine, soulless anime statues, and another round of intestinal distress. Oh, c'mon, you know you want to hear this.
Who are we? Where are we going? What's that behind you? We can answer two out of three of those: we are Your Friend Frosty and your bartender Mike Whiskey, a pair of hard drinking, ultra-geeky, cantankerous Cape Cod nerds with gaming addictions and a love of podcasting. Dishing out the weekly New England nerd perspective on everything they can get their hands on, Bourbon On Ice is a show where these two discuss everything nerdy, like gentlemen. Which they aren't, but that won't stop them from trying.
Robare. Sam the Guitar Man. Rosie the Dog. Noneof these guests come close in levels of sheer deviousness to the master of chaos, the man with the insidious plan, the fiend known as Circus Kirkus. And yeah, he's here for the first time. While Your Friend Frosty rolls with laughter on the ground and the audience is shocked by the exploits of this seemingly mild-mannered prankster, we urge you to try none of this at home or on your worst enemies, and above all, hide your whipped cream. You have been warned.
If there's one thing that has gotten under Your Friend Frosty's skin, it's the reboot of Quantum Leap. Never fear, Robare is here, to defend the entire new chapter of this beloved science fiction franchise - and also to commiserate with Frosty about spider attacks and the impending attack on David Tennant by Jinkx Monsoon. It's a weird one, people, so settle in.
Thanks to the massively inflated ego of Your Friend Frosty (which we thank/blame on all of you, our listeners), The Sin List is back. Your Friend Frosty has returned to read a little bit more of his upcoming (hopefully) novel, The Sin List. Yes, it's a Whiskey-lite episode, but this is still entertaining. Join us to learn more of poor Adam's fate, and the destruction wrought by the dangerous device known as The List. Ooooo! Aaaah! Oh, c'mon, what do you have to lose?
We've done blanket forts, Your Friend Frosty's workspace, Whiskey's game room, and of course the actual podcast studio...but now we come to you from Your Friend Frosty's noble chariot in the dark parking lot of a mid-Cape movie theater. Yes, we went there. We have to, because in just half an hour, The Super Mario Bros. Movie premieres and your plucky hosts will be in the seats and taking notes. It's both nerdy and entertaining - and a chance to try out our show literally on the road for the first time.
The much-anticipated (or heavily derided) Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves movies is almost at hand. Yes, it's a nerdy episode. So much so that the two booze-swilling nerds are crafting D&D characters and preparing for their viewing of said movie. There will be plenty of dice rolling and a lot of inappropriate jokes, but then again, you knew what you were in for when you started listening...
Just when you thought it was safe to listen to podcasts again, one turns into an almost hour-long infomercial. Those still exist, right? Your Friend Frosty and your bartender Mike Whiskey bring back another session of Whiskey Asks with one question to the audience: if your podcasting duo started selling merchandise, what would it be? And the responses.... wow. Okay, wow. Also, fifteen very questionable promotional giveaways you may want to give back. You've been warned.
Whiskey is armed, Frosty buying weapons overseas, and guard dogs are on the premises. Yes, it's one of those episodes - your podcasting pair have their eyes set on a dream office of their own, one only the likes of these two could design. Practical? Of course not. But it will be a lot of fun. Also, did we mention there are weapons?
The roads of New England can be treacherous, especially at 1 AM. Your Friend Frosty and your bartender Mike Whiskey commiserate long driving stories, strategies for staying awake, and - wait, who is that? A special guest star, and long awaited, has just made his way into the.... bar. Yes, this is another bar episode.
It's not often in this world that Your Friend Frosty knows bupkis about something. Well, no, that happens a lot, but this does happen to be one of those times. Whiskey walks Your Friend Frosty through the mysterious concept known as "The Mandela Effect", and nothing will ever be the same. Also, magic mirrors, marauding dogs, and video game discrepancies!
It isn't even October and something spooky is in the air in New England. Must be the daily lives and scary stories of Your Friend Frosty, your bartender Mike Whiskey, and special guest star Robare, all prepared to spin ghostly tails of personal ghostly encounters. They're super ghostly. Plus, beware the Cape Cod Cryptid! Also, Robare sings a ditty.
Robare is back, and he has a bone to pick. His words, not ours. Filling in for Mike Whiskey, Robare is unleashing the power of fanfic -and this time, it's personal. Prepare for bad jokes, celebrity cameos, and nerdiness of the written kind as we explore science fiction fan appreciation in a whole new way.
Everybody duck, they're armed! Your Friend Frosty and your bartender Mike Whiskey appear to be carrying heavy stacks of books and a lot of opinions on the ones that were made into movies - movies which fell significantly short of the mark. From unplanned slaughters to diabolical plot shifts, these all have it coming. But first, get under the table and hide... Dark Whiskey has arrived.
It's here, it's here! With the release of "Journeys Through the Radiant Citadel", the new adventure anthology D&D book, Your Friend Frosty has unfortunately lost it and must be reigned back in by none other than Dungeon Master Mike Whiskey. Enter a world of many worlds, where danger lurks around every corner, strange discoveries wait to be unearthed, and Your Friend Frosty is drinking a mysterious potion. Again. Also, minstrels!
It's the end of an era. And of course, your podcast hosts are devastated. Well, one more than the other, but that's to be expected - Your Friend Frosty is never good with change. The change? Ash Ketchum and Pikachu are set to leave Pokémon forever. And we should all be sad about that!
Attention all: starting immediately, Your Friend Frosty and your bartender Mike Whiskey hereby pledge to talk of only socially relevant and crucially important topics from here on out. Which, as you can imagine, doesn't go so well. Ah, who cares - welcome to Season 2 of Bourbon On Ice, as your podcasting duo break in 2023 with inappropriate jokes, wild Christmas presents, bad movies, and a walk down memory lane.
It's the first ever annual Bourbon On Ice podcast awards, where Your Friend Frosty and your bartender Mike Whiskey give out awards for excellence. Admittedly, they're to each other, but who else are they going to award? They are excellent, after all. Looking back at a year's worth of podcasting adventures and madness, your hosts close out 2022 by reflecting on all they've done, learned, suffered - and finally let everyone in on the long-awaited story of "The Incident."
Be warned, this is the episode that Whiskey does not want you to hear. But he can't stop Your Friend Frosty, because Whiskey's off on Christmas-related activities, so Robare has returned from Rhode Island to teach us all about the world of leather title contests, Chicago, and a mysterious secret society that meets in the woods (really).
It's a house full of magic and wonder. Christmas magic and wonder, that is. And the house is more of a podcast studio, with Your Friend Frosty, your bartender Mike Whiskey, and special guest Robare all discussing the joys of holiday traditions - and why they're awful and need to be abandoned immediately. Also, drunk cookies, an innuendo or two, and someone's getting an inappropriate Christmas present...
Listen closely, children, and you shall hear the totally boss story of a legend who once worked in a warehouse on Cape Cod and strode out of the job in a truly awesome fashion. Also, there's some underwear, and plenty of hard cider, and a train trip as Your Friend Frosty and your bartender Mike Whiskey talk their past shared work experience, and the oncoming Christmas season.
In as close as your favorite podcasting duo will ever get to a PSA, we talk a past incident involving an intern, an umbrella, and some poorly planned social media posts. Hey, look, here come the cops! Also, Mike Whiskey gives Your Friend Frosty an interesting.... gift? We're gonna call it a gift.
Your Friend Frosty's first visit to The Music Room of Cape Cod was a memorable one. Aussies with large wooden flutes, an over-indulging podcaster, and the sound of something new are all on the table for discussion today - and not one, not two, but three guests! And only one is human.
Is Your Friend Frosty too old for video games from his youth? Hell yes. But your bartender Mike Whiskey isn't, and he's dragging the poor suffering Frosty along for the ride into Pokemon Soul Silver. Also, a lot of booze-related names and a warning about taking too much pot. And Frosty's review of a new Steam-download, so, yay.
Halloween is almost here. And what better way to celebrate than by digging up and re-examining the forgotten television family October Dr. Seuss special known as "Halloween Is Grinch Night"? Yes, it's weird, obscure, and ridiculous, and only one of your hosts has heard of it - but that's definitely his bread and butter. And speaking of butter, things take a very dark and militant turn...
If there's one thing Your Friend Frosty loves, it's a good horror movie. Or even a bad one. Unfortunately, Mike Whiskey... not quite as much. Plus, a spirited debate on Coraline - family fun or terrifying vision???
Your Bartender Mike Whiskey returns from his journey overseas to the Philippines, where he did something bold and romantic - and also ventured forth into a very "interesting" theme park. And we use that term loosely.

He's back!Sam Mello, frontman of The Rednecked Coolies, gets unceremoniously dragged into the podcast booth for interrogation.
