Bourbon On Ice

Send us Fan Mail 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 t...

Send us Fan Mail 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 Anspa...

Send us Fan Mail 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 g...

Send us Fan Mail 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...

Send us Fan Mail 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 que...

Send us Fan Mail 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...

Send us Fan Mail 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 d...

Send us Fan Mail 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...

Send us Fan Mail 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&apo...

Send us Fan Mail 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 h...

Send us Fan Mail 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,...

Send us Fan Mail 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...

Send us Fan Mail 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 a...

Send us Fan Mail 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 agains...

Send us Fan Mail 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 comp...

Send us Fan Mail 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...

Send us Fan Mail 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 Mik...

Send us Fan Mail 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 pressu...

Send us Fan Mail 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...

Send us Fan Mail 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...

Send us Fan Mail 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, th...

Send us Fan Mail 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...

Send us Fan Mail 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 br...

Send us Fan Mail 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...

Send us Fan Mail Whiskey is missing in action. Uh oh. But wait! That's okay, we have another guest star - and it's a new one! 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 t...
