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 foods. Hosts Mike, who knows his way around a kitchen, and Darren, who never really learned to cook, 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

Tuesday Apr 15, 2025

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!

Froze Bros Darren and Mike introduce a fresh episode featuring a brand new guest, the ever-hilarious Shaun, and a surprise call from Honorary Froze Bro Max. Dive into their world of frozen foods, as they discuss their latest grocery hauls, including a tasting of two kinds of Purdue Air Fryer Ready Crispy Wings. Will Hot ‘n Spicy be hot and spicy enough for them? Will they sour on Lemon Pepper? Will they buy them again for the “Big Game?”
The episode ends with another "Froze Before Hos" segment where the guys taste test a variety of treats that they've frozen, from Hostess Snoballs to Dollar Store candies and even uniquely flavored durian cookies.

Froze Bros Darren and Mike return with their first episode of 2025! The Bros toast to the new year and dig into the biggest trends in frozen foods. This bropisode dives into a report titled "Future of Frozen Food 2025" by Conagra, highlighting five key trends that are reshaping the industry.
For their food review, the guys finally get to burritos with a variety from Red's. The Bros find out who Red actually is and eat six burritos between them! Find out which they rank highest and which they say, “Let it go!”
The episode ends with a segment that’s somewhere between Pop Quiz and Froze Before Hos. They're calling it “Pop I.V.” or maybe “Froze Bros Suck.” Either way, hear what they think of popsicles made from Liquid I.V. Popsicle Firecracker Hydration Multiplier. Will it still save them from their hangovers?

The fun continues with a new segment, D’s Nuts. Darren likes salty snacks, so the Bros have frozen some Planter’s Mixed Nuts and Utz Party Mix. Are they better frozen? Or are the Bros just nuts?
