Bourbon On Ice
by 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.

Nerd Bytes 5: Stab Stab Stab
Send us Fan MailWarning: 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 Nerd Byte, and wear a heavily armored plate.

Nerd Bytes 4: Unsolvable Puzzle, Impossible Sandwich
Send us Fan MailSo, 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, Whiskey brings up a maze of such mystery, it remains mysterious to this day. Enjoy!

Nerd Bytes 3: Of Mickle Import
Send us Fan MailOld 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 ravaged the gaming and tech community for some time now - the end of physical media!!! And yes, Your Friend Frosty has strong feelings on it, because he's, well, old.

Nerd Bytes 2: Daphne Says "Free Me"
Send us Fan MailWhat 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 that this is not the last Nerd Byte you'll hear this summer. Enjoy!

Nerd Bytes 1: Bingo!!!
Send us Fan MailWelcome 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 with shorter episodes, minisodes if you will, and then be alternating from week to week between a full-length episode to a shorter episode, or "byte". This will allow us to first of all share more topics that we couldn't make an entire episode out of but are still fun to talk about, and also to allow your bartender Mike Whiskey and Your Friend Frosty to dedicate more time to our growing podcasting audio drama empire and other....projects we've got going on around here. So, no, the show is not ending. But we are evolving. Come and grow with us! And in this episode, learn about how those charming AI Reddit stories that we're all secretly watching have become meme-able and we're all playing along with our very own Bingo cards. Have fun!

Episode 178: The End of The End
Send us Fan MailIt'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? Kaiju, aliens, body snatchers, possessed rats, angry gators, time aberrations, disappearances, and even a pesky dragon? You get on the mic and talk all about it, in this clever podcast about two best friends holding it all together while everything falls apart. It's weird. It's witty! And it's almost over, but before that Your Friend Frosty takes Mike Whiskey on a journey through the madness. Come along!https://www.audaciousmachinecreative.com/world-gone-wrong

Episode 177: Florida-Man Cometh!
Send us Fan MailSo, 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, courtesy of your bartender Mike Whiskey. Also, summer plans, pure evil, gators, and a few shoutouts to fans. Happy summer, and happy 4th of July, Bourbonites!

Episode 176: The Rewind - Episode 84: Check-In Time At The Hazbin Hotel
Send us Fan MailBy 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 the third season on the way, it's time for your bartender Mike Whiskey to be beaten over the head with the painful theories and blather that Frosty has been building up for the last two weeks. In the meantime, we're kicking it back to 2023 when he went over Hazbin Hotel before it even arrived. Enjoy! The madness starts here.

Episode 175: Bringin' It Back!
Send us Fan MailEver 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 typewriters (someone thought they were a good idea?), to a very questionable moral suggestion (made by...your bartender Mike Whiskey???), it's all here, for you to mock. Also, Spotify chapter titles, summer updates, and Your Friend Frosty's inability to take a hint - or a joke. Enjoy!

Episode 174: Bourbon On Ice, After Dark [But Not Like That]
Send us Fan MailWhen 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 "nauti" and reads your answers to the maritime-themed Whiskey Asks question, decides to torment the audience (and his cohost) with a song and dance - and also a lot of pixelated weirdness that could only be found on a show like this. You've been warned.

Bourbon-Lite #6
Send us Fan MailThe 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, and also a lot of ridiculous answers to ridiculous questions (who are you people???), but if you'd like your question answered, feel free to drop us an email at [email protected]. You just might surprise your hosts.

Episode 173: Bye Bye, Super Guy
Send us Fan MailSeven 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 ended and we can all emerge from our bunkers, it's time to send it off in style - with a meanspirited game dedicated to completely ruining the concept of being a superhero for everyone involved. So, pretty apt. Also, sparring trees, airships equipped with meat grinders, and Whiskey says something in appropriate. Again.

Episode 172: Diet? I Barely Know It!
Send us Fan MailSummer 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 tapeworm or two. Yes, really. As we crack open the wacky world of fad diets, we take a minute to mourn the loss of a small furry friend of Frosty's, grumble about a pesky save file, and to shake our fist angrily at rich celebrities (you'll see). Now, did someone say something about an enchilada?

Episode 171: The Rewind - Episode 91 - More Pink Monkeys Than You Can Shake A Stick At!
Send us Fan MailHere 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 with dear sweet Mama Whiskey (because they actually have a healthy relationship), the podcast is taking this week off. So we're throwing it back to the year 2024 (and in some strange way, the year 1994) when pixelated lions, exploding insects, 16-bit monkeys, and monkeys of a certain hue cursed us all and ruined our day as we discuss The Lion King - The Video Game, something which lives in infamy and misery to this day. It's the Rewind. We'll be back when it's over.

Episode 170: Hypothetically Speaking, Of Course - This Again...
Send us Fan MailRobare 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 speedo? Animated movies about singing animals? Is this even the right show? Yes. Yes it is.

Episode 169: Ugly Cake
Send us Fan MailTake 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's back, again - again!) are gathering around the mics to discuss the Four Follies of Walt Disney World Parks. You may have heard of them. If not, you're about to. From strange cake to unpleasant giant hands to grinning ancient lizards, we've got a lot to talk about. Sit down, but don't get comfortable. Things are gonna get ugly.

Episode 168: Super Mario - The Advertisement - The Movie!
Send us Fan MailIt'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 budget Nintendo commercial". Yes, folks, we're sorry to tell you - after waxing on about a bunch of ridiculous DnD spells that describe something...saucy - that this movie was certainly a thing that happened and not all of it good. Spoiler Alert has been issued, because the movie is discussed in great detail, but there was plenty to see. Also, Star Fox, bad jokes, and evil love. Have fun.

Episode 167: Barbie & The Eternal Cruise
Send us Fan MailWe apologize - this is gonna start big and become a downer and then hopefully swing back up. It's mad, it's bad, it's....Barbie Dreamfest? Yes, that's right, Your Friend Frosty and your bartender Mike Whiskey are delving into the lack of madness and more downright disappointment that was Barbie Dreamfest, the most lackluster and yet still somehow entertaining (because of how bad it was) must-miss event of 2026. And then there's some chocolate and a discount Oompa Loompa as we talk about that other bad event based off the guy with the chocolate factory. And then...well, then things take a bit of a dive when Frosty talks about something sad, near, and dear to his family: his family. It's an emotional rollercoaster here on Bourbon On Ice. Oh, and Whiskey may not recover...

169
Episode 166: The "Anniversary" "Special"
Send us Fan MailIf there's one thing Your Friend Frosty hates, it's the relentless march of time. So let's have an episode about nothing else! Whether it's Pokémon in their park, Frosty remembering his first date, or your bartender Mike Whiskey preparing to bury something in the ground (really), this episode is all about the many, many, many anniversaries that we're about to celebrate this year - whether we want to or not. I mean, they're still right there. Also, inappropriate laughter, and a lot of it.

Episode 165: Ducks of Darkness!!!
Send us Fan MailHmmm. How to combine Your Friend Frosty's love of retro cartoons, Disney lore, and straight up horror? Don't worry, we have a solution. We're throwing it all the way back to the 80s (well, very early 90s) to delve into a complicated cartoony crisis: The Golden Goose. That's right. Heading to Duckburg where there's racecars, lasers, and airplanes, Frosty is here to tell you all about the rather unsettling cartoon masquerading as a family-friendly classic known as DuckTales, and also to wax on about that unsettling series finale (before the reboot anyway). Frosty will spin a yarn! Your bartender Mike Whiskey will be unimpressed. Cynics. But here we go, it's all about the darkest tales...The Duck Tales! Oooooo.

Episode 164: Hypothetically Speaking, Of Course - Legend of Zelda Edition [Sorta]
Send us Fan MailIt's a momentous occasion. Forty years in the making too - the anniversary of the epic Nintendo gaming franchise, "The Legend of Zelda"! And to celebrate, Nintendo is doing....nothing. Yeah, we're perplexed too. That's why your plucky podcasting duo has gathered their nonexistent cash and decided to take it upon themselves to celebrate with a weird round of Hypothetically Speaking Of Course and fantasize about the launch of their own Legend of Zelda theme park. It's...frankly terrible, and completely unbelievable. Let's hope something real happens, otherwise this is what we're left with: strange rollercoasters, ridiculous souvenirs, and the legal department says we can't hand out swords...but Your Friend Frosty still might. Nintendo, hurry, do something!

Episode 163: The Greatest Text Chain of All Time
Send us Fan MailSomewhere in New England in mid-February 2026, a terrible storm raged. Lives were changed, property was destroyed, people were inconvenienced, and in an office somewhere, an office text chain was set up that descended into madness and chaos and frankly became fodder for, well, this podcast. A loyal listener of Bourbon On Ice sent Your Friend Frosty the screencaps of this delicious text chain and now, with names and locations removed, we present it to you, because it's that freaking funny. Sit back, relax, and be grateful this isn't your workplace. But at the same time, know that it's alright if you kind of wish it was...

Episode 162: Penguin Starlets In The City and Other Weird Things
Send us Fan MailSo, something is definitely not right here. Returning to the mics after sickness, snowstorms, surgical stuff, and so much else, Your Friend Frosty is about to be stumped by your bartender Mike Whiskey at something near and dear to them both: anime. Would you believe that Frosty is getting rusty? It's true. But the things going on in his head, attempting to come up with actual storylines to random quotes, are somehow stranger than anything said before. Plus, take that millenials, excessive cursing, and here's to Markiplier. So much going on here. We're sorry.

Episode 161: The Rewind - Episode 94 - Infinite Power! No, Wait...Infinite Lasagna!
Send us Fan MailSo much do to here, so much to focus on. But don't worry - the studio may be empty, but the back catalogue is long. Literally four years of episodes to look into, like this one, the one where Your Friend Frosty (currently attending to medical issues) and your bartender Mike Whiskey (currently buried in work) sat down, took out metaphorical utensils and nonexistent napkins and took aim at the insanity that was "The Infinite Lasagna Paradox" which, yes, we can confirm is a thing. Sit back at the table and try not to drool, it's time for a lot of strange philosophical weirdness and something potentially delicious. It's The Rewind here on Bourbon On Ice.

Bourbon-Lite #5
Send us Fan MailCrawling back from Providence, Your Friend Frosty is fragile and delicate and full of all those emotions that he's not fond of. So, instead of a brand new episode, we've decided to open the mail bag and see how all of you are doing. Plenty of questions here to answer, and a lot of stuff to let you know, but you'll have to listen to the episode (that's how this works) to find out just what. Have a question of your own? Sure! Reach out and email us at [email protected]. Regular episodes return soon, but for now...let's see what we have here...

Episode 160: Take That, Winter!
Send us Fan MailIn the dead and cold of winter, in a time when much cheer is needed and happiness is nowhere to be found...well, maybe you should keep on looking? Your Friend Frosty is back, having brought snark, rage, and fury against snow, ice, and cold temperatures in general, while everyone's favorite bartender Mike Whiskey brings light and peace. This will definitely be a battle for the ages. With the help of Frosty's trusty decision-making coin, the pair will attempt to settle the question that has plagued mankind for ages: winter, yay or nay? Also, a farewell to a Disney attraction truly rooted in the past, a health update, and a look ahead to what will hopefully be an entertaining year. Welcome to 2026!

Episode 159: The First Annual Bourbon On Ice Gift Exchange!
Send us Fan MailThe year is over, and season 4 is coming to an end. What better way to celebrate than with tequila, chips, and a pile of presents? This is it, the farewell to 2025, but it's going in style. First, tears shed over a dear departed booze delivery system. Second, a tribute to a kid with yellow hair and his pet tiger. Third, a mountain of wrapping paper getting ripped to shreds, and a sentimental journey in the middle. And finally, a trip to the land of 2026, where kaiju roam and stupid people get what's coming to them. You'll see. This is it, the end of the year, and we're going out in style - and with presents. See you all in 2026!

Episode 158: The Rewind - Episode 83 – A Drinking Party 90 Years In The Making
Send us Fan MailTo whomever wished for a winter wonderland, we hope you're happy. This unexpected New England snowstorm has blanketed Cape Cod in white, and also kept Your Friend Frosty and your bartender Mike Whiskey very far apart from each other. Fortunately, all is not lost. With a back catalogue such as ours, there's plenty to pick from, so we are throwing it back two Decembers ago when Whiskey and Frosty got schnockered and toasted to the 90 year anniversary of the death of Prohibition. Grab some eggnog and maybe a gingerbread cookie and pull up a chair - this is going to be tasty. And to accommodate our change in schedule, next week's episode will air early, before the holiday. We'll catch you then, Bourbonites!

Episode 157: Hypothetically Speaking, Of Course - Christmas Edition [Now Even Merrier!]
Send us Fan MailRobare is back. Figured you should all learn that up front, and not bury it deep down in the description. Fortunately, wherever Robare travels, laughter ensues, and this time it's not one, not five, but six questions for a holiday installment of Hypothetically Speaking, Of Course. An extra question means extra holiday merriment, and we've jam-packed this episode with popcorn, giant cruise ships, contraband cookies, duct taped nutcrackers - and then it starts getting weird. Also, Your Friend Frosty learns why the human heart should remain inside the body, the censor button gets a workout, and Whiskey reveals your long-awaited answers to the latest Whiskey Asks. Bring on the lights, and the fruitcake. You're gonna need 'em both.

Episode 156: Don't Stop And Smell The Roses
Send us Fan MailNature is scary. Your Friend Frosty has made this point before again and again. But now, at long last, he has data to back it up. First, a jaunt to the magical land of Britain, where a garden full of the most horrible things you can imagine (namely toxin-spewing, organ-liquifying, death-inducing plants) grow merrily for all to see through a shiny new hazmat suit. Then, your bartender Mike Whiskey travels all over the globe to make Frosty squirm uncomfortably with twenty of the world's most dangerous plants - and some may or may not be real. The ones that aren't will shock you. The ones that are...well, consider yourself warned. Also, Christmas is here! That's always a reason to panic.Britain's Deadliest Garden | BBC Globalhttps://youtu.be/52Ou1OiYCK0?si=ml13JjqbAit2tfLt

Episode 155: Spaghetti Grows On Trees - Film At Eleven!
Send us Fan MailIt had to happen eventually. Both your plucky podcasting hosts have cracked. Your Friend Frosty takes us all the way back to the long-forgotten time known as the 1950s, where some naughty Brits literally cooked up a wicked scheme that shook the foundation of sanity, sensibility, and suppertime. Also pasta. Dragging Mike Whiskey along for the ride, Frosty is here to educate you all on the great Spaghetti Tree Hoax, brought to us by British television, and then to make matters worse, to drive us forward into a world where ice cream, red gummi candy, and even pulverized clams are somehow found in the wild and can be captured, reigned in, and made into dinner. We've gone back, folks, but trust me - it only gets weirder. 1957: The SPAGHETTI HARVEST | Panorama | Classic BBC clips | BBC Archivehttps://youtu.be/8scpGwbvxvI?si=omr2jG1-p8AP6kjV

Episode 154: The Most Cape Cod Thing That Has Ever Happened
Send us Fan MailIt's a special anniversary. The tin anniversary, to be exact, ten years since the most Cape Cod thing that has ever happened on a Cape Cod bridge to inconvenience a lot of people and send poor unfortunate participants to the hospital. That's right, we're talking about not just a crash, but the crash, and hang on, it's gonna be...well, ridiculous. But first, where have your hosts been? Well, there's been a lot of things going on in the lives of your bartender Mike Whiskey, Your Friend Frosty, and extended members of the Bourbon On Ice family. After hearing a few tales (and tails) of woe, Whiskey attempts to help Frosty unwind and relax. Booze and terrible jokes are applied to the situation, unfortunately. Hang on, this one's a doozy...

Send us Fan MailThe time is right. The mood is right. The season is right. So, yeah, we're doing it again - it's time for another round of Hypothetically Speaking, Of Course - Halloween Edition. But we've already done that, so this is an even more...Halloweenier version? Sure, let's go with that. And what do we have to talk about this time? Marauding pumpkins? Restless spirits? Terrifying home rentals? Yes to all. Also, Your Friend Frosty gets a lesson in Filipino spooks from your bartender Mike Whiskey's brand new wife (that happened, we told you all about it) and an animated pilot sends us all reeling. It's a full episode, and this is the season of 'ween. Grab some candy and get unsettled.

Send us Fan MailWith 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.

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.

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.

Send us Fan MailIn 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.

Episode 148: They're Dead, But Still Collectible
Send us Fan MailAs 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.

Episode 147: The Sentimental World of Philip J. Fry
Send us Fan MailBring 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.

Episode 146: Why Nature Is Bad and Camping Is Evil, By Your Friend Frosty
Send us Fan MailWARNING: 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...

Episode 145: 30 Years Worth of Board Game-Related PTSD - Jumanji!
Send us Fan MailSo, 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.

Episode 144: From Holy Ground to Holy Mess
Send us Fan MailEver 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.

Episode 143: Imminent Lawless Action
Send us Fan MailWarning, 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...

Episode 141: Good To The Last Crumb
Send us Fan MailWhat 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.

Episode 140: The Same To You, Good Sir!
Send us Fan MailWarning: 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...

Episode 139: A Soggy Subject
Send us Fan MailSummer 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.

Episode 138: The Rewind - Episode 23: Where We're Going, We Don't Need Ratings!
Send us Fan MailThe 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.

Episode 137: The Rewind - Episode 12 - But Was The Moose Okay?
Send us Fan MailWhiskey? 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?

Episode 136: Super Cheesed
Send us Fan MailIt'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.

ABOUT THIS SHOW
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.
HOSTED BY
Your Friend Frosty & Your Bartender Mike Whiskey
