The Froze Bros

The Froze Bros

The Froze Bros is the world's number one comedy podcast about frozen food. Conceived in a Boston bar in December 2023 by close friends and improv comedians—over drinks that cost more than we usually like to spend—the resulting podcast is a comical, irreverent, yet sometimes still informative look at frozen food and drinks. Featuring unfiltered conversation and reviews from current hosts Darren and Max, the Bros talk buying, cooking, and consuming frozen foods—and whatever else crosses our frozen minds. Because we’re just a little cooler. New episodes are released weekly. Music for the show is by Substrates.

  1. Waffle Long Wait: Alexia Sweet Potato Waffle Cut Fries with Erin (Ep 63)

    Waffle Long Wait: Alexia Sweet Potato Waffle Cut Fries with Erin (Ep 63)

    Eighteen months. Sixty-two episodes. Zero french fries. That changes now. The Froze Bros welcome Erin—improv friend, Boston Marathon fan, and the guest who finally drags the Bros into the frozen fry case. This week's review: Alexia Sweet Potato Waffle Cut Fries, seasoned with garlic, onion, and pepper. Darren digs into the history: a brand born in Long Island City in 2002, acquired by Conagra in 2007, with production eventually handed off to potato giant Lamb Weston. Sweet potatoes, meanwhile, have been cultivated since at least 2500 BCE in Peru, and somehow made it to Polynesia centuries before Europeans, which is either one of the world’s great unsolved mysteries or proof that ancient mariners had excellent taste in side dishes. In the news: the Palm Beach Cardinals suit up as the Frozen Iguanas, paying tribute to a species that goes into paralysis when the temperature drops below 50°F. That's Florida, man. Plus: Patriots Day and who celebrates it. What Fenway means to Max. How Darren gets outed as a Yankees fan. Zoologists and other cold-blooded creatures. And a spirited debate over whether Alexia's potato plant really powers itself on potato gas—or whether that's just biogus. In the closing segment: the Froston Marathon. Max and Erin have to name 26.2 frozen food brands to cross the finish line. They start strong, but will they beat Heartbreak Hill and cross the finish line to yell, “Winner winner frozen dinner?!” Music by Substrates Check out The Froze Bros online at www.thefrozebros.com Buy us a Cold One here.

  2. Deep in the Heart of Glasgow: Deep Indian Kitchen Chicken Tikka Masala (Ep 62)

    Deep in the Heart of Glasgow: Deep Indian Kitchen Chicken Tikka Masala (Ep 62)

    The Froze Bros have been thinking about this one for almost a year. (Thinking’s hard, bro.) This week, Darren and Max finally review Deep Indian Kitchen Chicken Tikka Masala—roasted white chicken, creamy sauce, cumin basmati rice—and it was worth the wait. Before they dig into their meal, they dig into the history: a dish whose origins are genuinely up for grabs. Did chicken tikka masala begin on a stormy night in Glasgow when a Pakistani chef poured a can of tomato soup over a bus driver's dry chicken? Or is that story all wet? Whatever the history, a New Jersey family founded Deep Foods in 1977 when a mom started making Indian snacks in her home and selling them to neighbors. The company was named for son Deepak, and deep means lamp and enlightenment in Hindi. Almost 50 years later, every purchase benefits a foundation supporting over 35,000 children in rural India. Plus: The recalls keep coming. A listener has a frozen waffle emergency with a relationship hanging in the balance. The People’s Choice Awards for podcasting may be over, so are we doing this for nothing? In a closing segment: it's National Twinkie Day, the snack cake turns 96, and Darren can’t tell 96 from 76. The Bros also polish off their last Girl Scout Cookies of the season, and frozen Thin Mints get vindicated by science.

    Dane Good Balls: Feel Good Foods Gluten-Free Buttermilk Pancake Balls with Shaun and Kristen (Ep 61)

    The Froze Bros have a full table this week. Returning guest Shaun brings along Kristen as the show's official Gluten-Free Correspondent, and the team reviews Feel Good Foods Buttermilk Pancake Balls—certified gluten-free, Danish-style, dippable, and poppable. The Bros get into the company's origin story, the surprisingly deep history of the pancake ball, and whether the Danish really deserve credit for this. What exactly is an æbleskiver? And did Vikings seriously cook them in their dented shields? In the news: the Ajinomoto/Trader Joe's glass recall keeps growing. The source has been identified, and sufferin' succotash it's the carrots! Also: a Norwegian man once brought his grandfather's frozen body to Colorado. “Tuff shed,” you say? Well, the town threw a festival about it. Plus: the gluten-free tax is real, the sog factor is realer, a serving size of two balls is a joke, Shaun brings a brand new game called Tip of the Iceberg, and that’s just the—well, that’s just the start of what we get into.

    Fool Me Once, Feed Me Twice: Tina’s vs. El Monterey Beef & Bean Burritos (Ep 60)

    They said it was over. They lied. The Bros are back—and they've got burritos. April Fools, Froze Fam! The fake breakup is officially cancelled, the freezer aisle is open for business again, and Darren and Max have some words about what just happened. This week's face-off pits two of the cheapest frozen burritos against each other: Tina's Beef & Bean vs. El Monterey Beef & Bean. One of these brands claims to be America's number one selling frozen burrito. So does the other one. Somebody's lying—or maybe nobody is. Either way, the Bros dig into the histories: a family that fled the Mexican Revolution and built an empire on Grandma Rosie's recipes, a mysterious company called Camino Real Foods that invented a founder who doesn't exist, and a brief but unavoidable detour into why you may have heard the name "Tina" in a completely different context. In the closing segment, Darren unveils Stick Figuring—a game where Max tries to identify famous moments in frozen food and Froze Bros history from Darren's extremely crude hand-drawn illustrations. Plus: Hot Dr. Pepper. Rita’s Water Ice. Zooming in on the matrix formerly known as the Whimsey-Meter™. Noble Mick's sends a care package. Ellio's sends swag. A listener in Virginia binged 40 or 50 episodes. And Max has the hiccups. Welcome back, folks. We missed you. That whole day we were gone.

    Froze Bros Doze Show

    It's been a great run. But you've probably noticed things haven't been quite right between Darren and Max lately. The Bros have reached the end of the freezer aisle. Darren has a few words, and that’ll be it. Fro yo' later, folks.

    State Fair All Beef Corn Dogs: Woes Between Bros (Ep 59)

    We won't mince words—or mince meat—this was a rough one. The Froze Bros celebrate National Something on a Stick Day (March 28) by trying to pull the sticks out of their…freezers and reviewing State Fair All Beef Corn Dogs. Turns out the hot dog has a longer history than you'd think. Frankfurt, Germany claims 1487, but the bun didn't show up until 1867. The corn dog got wood in the mid-20th century in Texas. No bun intended. The Bros have no shortage of opinions about length, girth, and the batter-to-hot-dog ratio. Wait. What did you think we were talking about? Also: what exactly is a byproduct, and if there are none in here, why does it still look like this? In the news: frozen seafood takes center stage at the Seafood Expo North America in Boston, where a coconut margarita haddock and some sauceable Wild Alaska Pollock nuggets walk away with top honors. And: TAST!EZ debuts game night loungewear with tear-away napkin sleeves, and the Bros try—and fail—to get their hands on a set. Plus: Sara Lee's corporate connection to State Fair. Rodgers and Hammerstein, musically relevant too. The sustainable forestry implications of corn dog sticks. The correct way to store a box of corn dogs in the freezer (it matters, and don’t flail around when you take them out). And how many hot dogs you'd have to eat to age in reverse. As for the closing segment. Well, there was supposed to be one. There wasn't. It might as well be froze. Music by Substrates Check out The Froze Bros online at www.thefrozebros.com.

  7. Sara Lee Classic Pound Cake with Kenzie: What the Schmutz? (Ep 58)

    17 MAR

    Sara Lee Classic Pound Cake with Kenzie: What the Schmutz? (Ep 58)

    The Froze Bros welcome new guest Kenzie, who may be (or is she?) Sara Lee's third cousin. That potential conflict aside, the Bros review Sara Lee Classic Pound Cake, a frozen institution that's been virtually unchanged since 1951. Showing off the cake’s versatility, the Bros test how far this dessert (does it have to be dessert?) can go. And showing off the cake’s signature baking pan, just what is that schmutz on the outside? And will anyone taste it? In the closer, it's Ice Cold Draft: Spring Break edition. The Bros and Kenzie each build their ideal frozen food travel squad. Darren heads to Cancun with buddies and a literal wingman. Max takes a ferry and disconnects from reality. And Kenzie has some strong opinions about who doesn't get an invite. Plus: Smucker's owns Hostess and penetrates American homes. The correct pronunciation of Oregon. A brief personal history of polishing shoes and butlering. The 1747 recipe for pound cake calls for one hour of beating it. Darren has never seen a loaf of Sara Lee bread. And nobody—nobody—doesn't like frozen eats.

    Noble Mick’s Mistletoe Margarita: Shaken AND Stirred (Ep 57)

    This week, The Froze Bros make frozen food podcast history—reviewing a product that wasn't frozen when it was sold. But it’s frozen now. Noble Mick's Mistletoe Margarita arrives in a big pink bag packed with white powder and the promise of eight cocktails with zero blenders required. In the news: Darren finally gains access to a federal court docket, drops $2.70, and delivers a Smucker's vs. Trader Joe's lawsuit update. Also: Uncrustables may be leaving the freezer aisle, and the Bros may be getting separation anxiety over it. In the closing segment, Freeze Frame makes its debut—a new game where Max and Darren share a single frame from a vintage TV commercial for a frozen food and challenge the other to name the brand. Check out the pics on our social media to play along. Plus: The New York Times crossword. Max stirs—sorry, steers—his cocktail. Darren confesses he's never eaten a Hot Pocket. The microwave plate rotation debate. Darren croons The Way You Look Tonight (well, he will in five years). And Max refuses to apologize to Big Y.
