Bourbon On Ice

Send us Fan Mail It's not our fault. We've been crying for years, she's the one who hasn't shown up yet. Have you seen her? The Scary Godmother, that is, a once beloved cartoon special from the days of [ahem] early 3D-rendered animation. Sure, it wasn't perfect, but we still loved her, and her weird friends (annoying werewolf, gay skeleton, impetuous human child, and so on...

Send us Fan Mail It's the return of two things: Halloween creepiness, and Nerd Bytes. Shorter episodes mean easier digestion, at least that's what we're telling ourselves. At any rate, we're heading back a decade or two to the time when a cartoonist named Jim Davis attempted to traumatize his audience by subverting laughter over a fat orange cat named Garfield with a Halloween...

Send us Fan Mail Your Friend Frosty is out of town and also gnashing his teeth at his very slow editing software and strangled Wi-Fi signal. Your bartender Mike Whiskey is hard at work and busy being married. That can only mean one thing - it's time for an episode of Bourbon On Ice, but one you may or may not have heard before, so we're sharing it with you now: It's The Rewind, peop...

Send us Fan Mail The year is 1986. Something is about to be born that is now as old as your plucky podcasting host Your Friend Frosty (and he's totally not sensitive about that at all). Pack your passport and bags, and also a time machine, we're heading to merry old London and we're getting super small. Mouse-sized, really. It's the 40th anniversary of a strange and mostly forg...

Send us Fan Mail Put on your virtual reality visor, grab your controller, and prepare to leave reality behind. Or just, you know, listen to this episode - we're going digital. That's right, it's time we talked video games. Again. And after an update on The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time's re-re-re-release, we're off to the world of hypothetical questions and strange...

Send us Fan Mail From the mad mind that brought you "Barbie & The Eternal Cruise" and "Infinite Lasagna", it's Your Friend Frosty bringing you something weirder and more unhinged than ever. That's right - it's an onslaught of dancing and weirdly sensual food-based animatronics preaching the word of good nutrition! No, really. Teaching your bartender Mike Whis...

Send us Fan Mail Summer is over, and that's sad. But should you wish to cling desperately to the last few shreds of warm weather and sunshine before autumn completely swallows us, then have we got news for you. Note that we didn't say good or bad, just news. Your Friend Frosty and your bartender Mike Whiskey are reserving that for you to figure out and pass judgment on. On what, you ask?...

Send us Fan Mail Your crimes are known. Your fate is sealed. You stand in judgment by...a bunch of animals wearing hats and all springing from the strangest meme that has ever been memed. Huh. Okay, so, Your Friend Frosty has past trauma to unpack, and your bartender Mike Whiskey is introduced to the concept of burritos. It's par for the course at this point - and it's another Nerd Byte...

Send us Fan Mail Warning: animated violence ahead! Well, no, not animated. That's not how a podcast works. But audio violence. And even then, potential violence. This all depends on Your Friend Frosty's meme and the power of DnD knowledge that spews forth from your bartender Mike Whiskey, telling us how much pain to experience, when, and how painful it'll all be. Enjoy this latest N...

Send us Fan Mail So, Your Friend Frosty's life has completely fallen apart. Everyone he knows and loves is suffering from either sickness, personal tragedy, or hospitalization. Fortunately, there's an episode in the can, so jump on board and take a listen. Where do you go when joy is needed? Under the sea to a pineapple and about...what, thirty years ago? Somewhere around there. Also, Wh...

Send us Fan Mail Old English worlds still mean things. Apparently. According to your bartender Mike Whiskey. Anyway, this is a new Nerd Byte just for you, our lovely, beautiful, loyal listeners. Nothing can stop it, except for us returning from summer break and recording full-length episodes, but we're on a beach somewhere. Or possibly the lake. Anyhoo, today we tackle a topic that has ravage...

Send us Fan Mail What would happen if Don Bluth made video games? Well, you don't have to wonder, that actually happened. Cast your mind back in time to when you had to control something weird and try and figure it out. Also, do not invite these people to cocktail parties, Your Friend Frosty and your bartender Mike Whiskey will make it weird. That's a promise, just as it's a promise...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome to the new world. Or at least, the new world of Bourbon On Ice, where we discuss all things nerdy, like gentlemen - and what could be more gentlemanly than evolution? Well, that's up for debate, but we're introducing a new format: Nerd Bytes. Spelled with a Y because we want it to see special. Which it is. From here on out, we will be finishing the summer season...

Send us Fan Mail It's the end. But not for us. It's the end for someone else! You can relax now. What are the neighbors up to? They're enduring the end of the world, of course. Who are they? Jamie and Malik, and the rest of the cast of World Gone Wrong, an amazing podcast which is...coming to an end, unfortunately. What happens when everything happens at once, and all of it bad? Kai...

Send us Fan Mail So, apparently there's this horrible superhero known as Florida-Man. And we should all be worried. But instead, we're all completely entertained, and some of us straight up traumatized. Like Your Friend Frosty, who finally sits down to hear some of the most horrifying, bizarre, and just plain nauseating "Florida Man" headlines which can be leveled at a person,...

Send us Fan Mail By the time you hear this, it's no longer Father's Day. Which is where your hosts are at the time they recorded this - one of them with one, the other with the other. It's a family thing. As such, we're kicking it back a couple of years. With Your Friend Frosty having finally (and very late) gotten around to getting obsessed with Season Two of Hazbin Hotel, and...

Send us Fan Mail Ever sat around and thought to yourself, "Wow, things are just going too well for me, if only there were ways for me to stop being productive and happy and go, well, backwards in time and productivity." Well, this episode is for you, then. From those ridiculously huge televisions that you have to get up and cross a room to change the channel (those exist, we swear) to ty...

Send us Fan Mail When I say "after dark", do not conjure up images of sexy stories and alluring talk. This is not that kind of podcast. May we suggest that instead you lower all expectations and travel back to the 90s where something ridiculous happened when you got bored, sat back, and stopped touching the keyboard? Your Friend Frosty, after your bartender Mike Whiskey gets super "...

Send us Fan Mail The great metaphorical mailbag has returned and a few letters fell out. And of course, being a mail carrier himself, Your Friend Frosty has feelings about that. Mostly, "oh, crud, hope no one saw that." But then again, the point of a mailbag episode is to actually  read  those letters, so you see where we're going with this. An update on Circus Kirkus is included, a...

Send us Fan Mail Seven years ago, the madness began. Hughie, Butcher, Homelander, The Deep, all of them jumped onto our screens and left us emotionally and mentally scarred - and we thank them for it all. Well, Your Friend Frosty does, anyway. Your bartender Mike Whiskey kept away. And now that the show has finally ended, now that the satirical dark superhero series known as The Boys has finally e...

Send us Fan Mail Summer is on the way. Sunshine, cool breeze, tourists, the whole enchilada. Unfortunately, that enchilada has Your Friend Frosty a little worried - swimsuit season is around the corner and he's going to have to rely on his personality this year. Never fear, your bartender Mike Whiskey has the secret: eat copious amounts of meat! Also, maybe ice cream, some vinegar, and a tape...

Send us Fan Mail Here we are, standing on the edge of the precipice between sanity and madness. And all that it takes to plummet screaming over the edge is this episode. Well, you knew what you were getting into just by listening to this show. With Your Friend Frosty recovering from a terrible personal loss (no joke, we'll tell you more later) and your bartender Mike Whiskey spending time wit...

Send us Fan Mail Robare is...still here. Oh well, better take advantage of the situation and declare a Threeway! Er...a three-way multi-round session of Hypothetically Speaking, Of Course! Yes, that's what we meant. Robare is here for the asking, and all of your hosts are in the hot seat. Star Fox flies by, someone's crying in the shower, and then it gets weird. Fame. Money! Whiskey in a...

Send us Fan Mail Take a deep breath, steady yourselves, steel yourself for what's to come - in fact, those with weak constitutions and those who faint easily may want to avoid this episode. Run now, flee, for what we have to discuss is so weird, so wild, so wacky, it's just plain...ooooog. You'll see. Your Friend Frosty, your bartender Mike Whiskey, and special guest star Robare (he...

Send us Fan Mail It's been years since Your Friend Frosty and your bartender Mike Whiskey saw the Super Mario Bros. movie in theaters. Now, they've returned. They've sat down and watched the glorious spectacle that was the Super Mario Galaxy movie. Just change "watched" to "endured" and "glorious spectacle" to "over an hour and a half of a big budg...
