Bourbon On Ice

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...

Send us Fan Mail 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,...

Send us Fan Mail 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 ent...

Send us Fan Mail 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...

Send us Fan Mail 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......

Send us Fan Mail 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 t...

Send us Fan Mail 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? And Neal McDonough? What's going on here? Don't panic, this isn't a fever-induced madness, but a trek into the long forgotten SyFy miniseries event, their take on The Wi...

Send us Fan Mail 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...

Send us Fan Mail 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 an...

Send us Fan Mail 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 wh...

Send us Fan Mail 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... Full length episodes...

Send us Fan Mail 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.  Regular length...

Send us Fan Mail 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 ma...

Send us Fan Mail 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 pa...
