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

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.
