The Froze Bros
In a Boston bar in December 2023 — over drinks that cost more than the guys usually like to spend — the concept for the Froze Bros podcast was born. Just like an actual birth, going from conception to the emergence of something hard on the ears and that friends insincerely call cute took about nine months. The resulting podcast is a comical, irreverent, yet sometimes still informative look at frozen food and drinks. Hosts Mike, who knows his way around a kitchen, Darren, who never really learned to cook, and Max, who later joined as an official Bro, talk buying, cooking, and eating frozen foods—and whatever else crosses their frozen minds. Because we’re just a little cooler. More at thefrozebros.com

Let the Frozathon begin! Join Darren and Max for a first-of-its-kind episode, as they kick off a daring all-day recording marathon. The Bros take on the challenge of recording three episodes in one day, each dedicated to reviewing a different frozen meal for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
In this first leg of the Frozathon, the Bros begin with a Jimmy Dean breakfast bowl. They navigate through packaging details, cooking instructions, and nutritional insights, while also engaging in fun tangents and ridiculous stories.
The episode ends with a new segment—planned and prepared by Max—called “Ice to Meet You.” Will Darren slay it or embarrass himself? Either way, it’s sure to be a riotous race to the finish!

The Bros bend time and space in this special birthday episode for Darren! They’ve recorded episodes out of order, and—for the first time—they’re out recording in public! You might say they’ve become “El Trio Frio” as Mike and Max surprise Darren with Twisted Freezes at Taco Bell Cantina.
Along with the usual frozen food chatter and their sometimes unintelligent tangents, the Bros make two big announcements. Darren and Max tease that they recorded a “Frozathon” of three episodes earlier the same day. Also, Darren drops the news on Mike that he’s made Max an official Froze Bro!
Freezin’s Greetings (which Mike calls “Birthday Wishes for Darren”) ends the episode with past guests sending birthday greetings to Darren—and somehow making him sound like more of a saint than he is. (Fact check: he isn't.)
Join the fiesta for this fun-filled episode celebrating frozen drinks, the joys of recording in a busy public restaurant, and El Frio Trio!

Can the Froze Bros get any more juvenile? Why yes, yes they can. And Darren proves that this week by eating baby and toddler food with first-time guest (and mom of two) Micala.
In this unusual episode (even for the Bros), Darren and Micala try two varieties of Once Upon a Farm frozen food for infants and toddlers—Peas Pass the Greens and Pomodoro pasta. Between laughs and parenting anecdotes, the pair discuss how busy moms and dads find healthy and convenient choices for the kids, what color couch not to buy for new or expecting parents, and even the positives and negatives of baby-led weaning.
In a new segment that keeps with the childish spin of the episode, Darren introduces Froze Prose. He asks Micala to identify quotes from children’s literature that mention frost, ice, or snow. Is Micala suffering from mom brain, or did artsy nerd Darren make the game too hard?
Join one old parent (Darren) and one new parent (Micala) in this fun—and sometimes actually more informative than usual for this pod—episode all about feeding the kiddos.

It’s 4/20 this weekend, and the Bros are getting high on life with returning guest Shaun! In a wild episode, they review FIVE frozen snack foods from convenience stores: Smucker’s Uncrustables Peanut Butter & Strawberry Jam Sandwiches; Lily’s Toaster Grills Grilled Cheesy Garlic Bread Sandwiches; Bagel Bites Pizza Snacks Three Cheese; TGI Fridays Chicken Wings Buffalo Style; and Totino’s Pizza Rolls Supreme. Woof! In just as ridiculous side conversations, they talk ice cream, donuts (there it is from the episode title!), sandwich crusts, and how long it should take to make a proper grilled cheese.
But they aren’t done eating! In a Froze Before Hos segment, they give the “let it go or keep it, bro” treatment to Hostess Ding Dongs and two flavors of Kellogg’s Pop Tarts. And because 4/20 is also Easter this year (“Be Hoppy”) they’ve frozen some Peeps and one Cadbury Creme Egg.
Join this smokin’ party for an episode full of giggles, squabbles, and more food than a Bro should be able to eat!

The Froze Bros celebrate Mike’s icy return from being cryogenically frozen—and from a vacation. But the bigger story is that Darren realizes he underestimated the real threat of a Frozepocalypse, and he’s becoming a prepper! To start planning, he’s got the Bros digging into Mountain House Freeze-Dried Chili Mac with Beef, and Darren learns what he might need to know in the zombie frozepocalyptic world of Greater Boston.
In a double segment, the Bros give the let-it-go-or-keep-it-bro treatment to an Astronaut Neapolitan Ice Cream Sandwich, and Darren gives Mike a Pop Quiz to identify the flavors in two savory homemade pops!
Get prepped for an episode full of laughter, urban survival wisdom, and maybe a fragment of foolishness!

The Froze Bros are back with another bropisode, but honorary Froze Bro Max replaces Mike, who is still “on ice,” or is he? This episode features the Bros digging into Tyson Crispy Chicken Breast Strips. Could the strips be both crispy and moisty? And whatever became of Max’s mom’s “Dear Mr. Weaver” letter?
In a hilarious segment, in preparation for the inevitable Frozepocalypse, Darren and Max draft their top five frozen foods to ride out the storm, one highlighting practicality and the other choosing comfort—and possibly a quicker death.
Get ready for a mix of laughter, food adventures, and a hypothetical battle of survival as Darren and Max carry on through the chaos!

Honorary Froze Bro Max and guest Shaun join Darren to celebrate Mardi Gras in style! Where’s Mike? We’ve got a freeze on that information!
The Bros share some good eatin’ (and drinkin’) updates, theorize on the mysteries of flavorful food ingredients, and report some frozen food news before digging into Zatarain’s Cajun-Style Chicken Carbonara. Shaun and Darren also (barely) remember some good times spent in the Big Easy.
The episode continues with Shaun and Darren trying frozen hurricanes and some traditional Brazilian brigadeiros (for Carnival), while remote Max drones on about the stages of candy making. It all ends with a Frozen Feud showdown as Max and Shaun hysterically try to guess the busiest holidays for alcohol delivery.
It’s a gran fête not to be missed from your favorite Bros!
