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 ...

Send us a text Alright, we'll be the first to admit it, we've been drinking. However, you haven't, and this movie we're about to talk about really exists. Yes, that's right, we're taking aim at yet another made-for-tv horror film, this one written by and starring almost entirely boyband members and pop stars, and also a massive number of zombies, g…

Tonight on GeekNights, we review The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. It's a Zelda game and you probably should play it. In the news, the big Nintendo leak isn't that exciting and Reiner Knizia’s SHOCKING Confession. Related Links Forum Thread The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom Discord Chat The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom Things of the D…

Send us a text You've got questions. We've got answers. But remember, none of this has actually happened, and hopefully never will, because otherwise we have a lot to worry about. Yes, Your Friend Frosty and your bartender Mike Whiskey have decided to apply your particular brand of madness, and some of their own, to a set of Halloween-themed questi…

Send us a text The year is 2007. The place is Kansas. No, wait, don't leave yet, we're off to someplace (arguably) better: The O.Z. Not to be confused with Oz, but similar. Wait, is that Zooey Deschanel? And Neal McDonough? What's going on here? Don't panic, this isn't a fever-induced madness, but a trek into the long forgotten SyFy miniseries even…

Send us a text Don't you just hate it when you invest a lot of time, energy, money, or all three into an animated series based off a children's tabletop role playing adventure game back in the 1980s and it gets cancelled before anyone gets to see the exciting conclusion and everyone basically forgets it ever existed except for a niche group of grow…

Send us a text No, that title isn't repeating itself. Well, not without good reason. This is our very special episode all about "Very Special Episodes", also known as "After School Specials". But trust us when we say, they're all significantly nerd-flavored, because these happen to be all about animated series. Diving into the past, your plucky hos…

Tonight on GeekNights, we review Friends vs Friends. It's a fantastic quick arena-duel FPS with cards. It evokes the feeling of playing weird mods against your friends online in 1998. In the news, PAX Unplugged is December 6-8, the keynote speaker is Elizabeth Hargrave (of Wingspan fame), "hard mode" is a great way to frame handicapping in games, M…

Send us a text Coming up on this episode: nightmares!!! Also, a tale of very screwy behind-the-scenes shortsightedness. Your Friend Frosty is dragging your bartender Mike Whiskey kicking and screaming all the way back to the year 1999 where the world sat in hushed anticipation of the brand new fantasy-based video game known as 40 Winks - and then g…

Send us a text The summer is winding down, and we're running out of minisodes. This may be the perfect time for us to... well, record some actual episodes. It'll happen. But in the meantime, have you met our new friend? Also, there's Mexican wrestlers, super powers, and someone's on a date - and it isn't Your Friend Frosty or Mike Whiskey. Awkward.…

Send us a text Warning: this particular minisode deals with blasphemy, madness, insanity, and moderately tasty wafers. Listen at your own risk. But let's face it, if you've been a part of our summer minisode journey so far, you know what you're in for. Or maybe you have no idea? It's possible. Also, there's an evil woman, a lot of math, and some hy…

Send us a text Yes. It is what it is. And what is it? It's the return of the summer 2024 minisodes. Yeah, sorry, our schedules are still not syncing up, but fortunately we have buffalo wings, gluten-free pizza, lots of booze, and a lot to talk about in the meantime. Join us, will you, for a sophisticated talk about classical composers of years past…

Tonight on GeekNights, Rym and Emily review Slay the Princess. It's a graphic novel philosophical horror game in a sense. It'll give you a lot to chew on and it's definitely worth playing! From Black Tabby Games, you may recognize Abby Howard from Penny Arcade's Strip Search! Related Links Things of the Day Forum Thread Slay the Princess Discord Ch…

Send us a text The summer heat has driven your podcasting duo apart. Bad sun, bad sunshine! Go, sit there, think about what you've done. Also take that brat known as "humidity" with you. In the meantime, Bourbon On Ice is throwing it back to our most popular episode of all time, a gem from our first year of recording the misadventures of Your Frien…

Tonight on GeekNights, we review Four Swords, which was released in 2002 on the GBA as The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and Four Swords. It's basically a tech demo/proof of concept for the real game released on the Gamecube which we reviewed back in 2009. You can play it online with friends on the Switch, and you probably should. In the news…

Send us a text Behold: a topic so big, we can't fit it all in one episode. In following with our theme of lists, this time your bartender Mike Whiskey has tracked down a list of the top 100+ nostalgia bait tv shows for 90s kids. Did you cringe in terror at the Crypt Keeper and shudder during Goosebumps? Did you "whoo-ooo" during the Ducktales theme…

Send us a text It had to happen eventually. The internet was cracked open, shaken, and ten of the most horrifying, most strange, most unearthly candies fell out. Well, eleven, if you listen to Your Friend Frosty regaling your bartender Mike Whiskey with the tales of some of the weirdest candies that can be found around the world. Also, there's summ…

Send us a text The place: Mike Whiskey's living room. The event: Your Friend Frosty has been convinced to watch, with copious amounts of booze at hand, a strange, epic new tale from the world of Japanese anime known as Inu-oh. Over crunchy cauliflower pizzas and an interfering clock, your podcasting pair will discuss the rock opera musical madness,…

Tonight on GeekNights, we consider the games one can play at the beach. We've previously talked about the beach, and also Yard Games, so now we bring an intersection of the two. Also Beach Soccer and Terraforming Mars. In the news, the Nintendo Direct had some good stuff (especially the long awaited Metroid Prime 4) and you don't need an Xbox to pl…

Send us a text We're back! Yes, it's us, your plucky cohosts of Bourbon On Ice, here to tell you that you should go away immediately and quietly, we're reading. Fifty books, apparently, because we've gotten our hands on a list of fifty books one must read before they die, and Your Friend Frosty and your bartender Mike Whiskey are somewhat behind. B…

Send us a text The last minisode before we return to regular shows (and trust me, none too soon, we're running low on things to stall with), your podcasters with their mics and full glasses are here to entertain with a look behind the curtain at the upcoming audio drama Blargh & Flargle. A short clip of the work we're putting into recording and rev…

Tonight on GeekNights, we consider the concept of bosses in videogames. In the news, the Panthers win the Stanley Cup in the longest season in NHL history, Connor McDavid is awarded the Conn Smythe trophy but doesn't come out to claim it, and Founders of Reyvick might someday come.

Send us a text The final minisode of summer 2024 is here, people. Enjoy both it and the summer while they last, because we're back to regular length episodes of Bourbon On Ice this July. But first, Whiskey speaks of the legendary (and weird) warrior known as Krod, while Your Friend Frosty deals with that pesky child-eating witch in the forest. Also…

Send us a text The month continues, but your podcasting duo Mike Whiskey and Your Friend Frosty (did you hear us shouted out during the end of a very popular podcast's credits?) are still chillaxing. Hammocks to stretch out, sand to track all over the place, the regular. In the meantime, enjoy our second summer minisode, wherein a mysterious bear-l…

Tonight on GeekNights, we review Animal Well. It's a beautiful and well made metroidvania. In the news, Civilization 7 is coming and Blades in the Dark is fantastic from session zero to terminal endgame.

Send us a text It had to happen one day. The weight of being so awesome combined with the weight of work and the weight of it being summer, and your plucky hosts, bartender Matt Whiskey and Your Friend Frosty, are taking a short break. They'll be back in June, but for now, enjoy the first of several "minisodes" where memes, nerdiness, snarkiness, a…

Send us a text Ever wondered what your podcasting buddies would do if they found a treasure map? Perhaps if aliens got word of this podcast and decided to listen in? And three other completely ridiculous questions that will never happen but, of course, your hosts are just dying to answer? Yes, that's right, it's the return of the Hypothetically Spe…
  continue reading
 
Send us a text Happy Mother's Day. Unfortunately, that means your hosts are off doing things that may or may not interfere with recording a podcast, and by hosts, we mean the one guy and not the other guy. That being said, there's a new letter from a Patreon subscriber to be read, and a throwback to last year when Whiskey gave an elaborate German l…

Tonight on GeekNights, in light of one of many Helldivers 2 kerfuffles, we consider yet another way that late capitalism is ruining the games industry: the stores make more money than the games. In the news, a Roblox game's attempt to fix its in-game economy causes a bunch of gamers to lose their minds, Sportsnet streams have freaky noises, and Ani…

Send us a text The year? 1993. The place? A very bulky PC in the corner of someone's living room, miraculously equipped with a CD-Rom. The thing? A 1990s horror-based FMV known as The 7th Guest. And the reason? Because Your Friend Frosty and your bartender Mike Whiskey have finally decided to pull out the discs (so to speak), blow off the mountains…

Send us a text The mail bag is open, and letters are falling out. Figuratively, of course, no one sends us letters anymore. That being said, your podcasting duo is together, for once, to answer your mailed in questions. Want yours read? Email your hosts at WhiskeyandFrosty@yahoo.com. Until then, relax and take a listen. They've got a lot to ponder.…

Tonight on GeekNights, we consider how to ruin your competitive card game. Scott shares the original Sins of CCG design. This is all in the context of Marvel SNAP. In the news, the Rangers sweep the Capitals, Square Enix reported extraordinary losses, Dave & Buster's introduces real money gambling, and Fallout games don't work on modern PCs. Relate…

Send us a text Ever wondered why your two plucky podcasters haven't ever been placed in charge of a kingdom? Well, after this episode, you'll thank your lucky stars because you'll know the horrifying answer. And it's not who you'd think that's the real menace. Your Bartender Mike Whiskey and Your Friend Frosty unleash upon the world their terrifyin…

Send us a text No one thought this day would come. Admit it, you were skeptical too. But Your Friend Frosty and your bartender Mike Whiskey have done the impossible (or at least, the improbably) and made it to 100 EPISODES. Thank you all for your support - now let's get weird. Again. Whiskey has a list of other things turning one hundred this year,…

Tonight on GeekNights, we review Klask. It's a well-designed extremely fun tabletop sport adjacent to but significantly distinct from Air Hockey. In the news, the Rangers are number one in the NHL, the Coyotes are moving to Salt Lake City, and Visions of Mana has quite the trailer. Also if you ever need to help out an injured pigeon in New York Cit…

Send us a text Midnight Burger, Season 4, is just about to drop (unless you're a Patreon subscriber, in which case you're several episodes in already). As such, Your Friend Frosty and everybody's favorite special guest star Robare are taking over the show to talk about another show. It's how they do things here. We're going back to the beginning to…
  continue reading
 
Tonight on GeekNights, we review Balatro (2024). From LocalThunk and published by Playstack, it's a roguelike deckbuilder in the vein of Slay the Spire, but in Video Poker. It's good. In the news, PAX East was all right but it's still a ghost town when the expo hall closes, the Rangers are top of the NHL coming into the playoffs, and you may not ha…

Send us a text Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejooooh, no, wow, that was a close one. Think of what almost happened here, people! Best put it out of your minds. Anyway, we're talking about the upcoming Beetlejuice sequel, more than three decades in the making. But we're also talking about something just plain weird that will make poor Mike Whiskey …

Send us a text They're wild. They're weird! And worst of all, they're real. Say hello to ten burgers from the wide world of whaaaaaat and be glad that you're nowhere near them. Or are you? Your Friend Frosty has tracked down ten of the strangest "burgers" to ever grace the earth, and we apologize in advance. Also, Whiskey.exe stops working briefly,…

Send us a text Not one. Not two. But six new characters are joining Your Friend Frosty and your bartender Mike Whiskey. Yes, they're nerdy and bored, and have crafted a slew of new characters to march bravely into battle and....complete mundane and simple everyday tasks. But will they succeed??? See, when you take massive half-orcs, hard-drinking g…

Send us a text Run! Hide! And block your mouth and nose - Your Friend Frosty is sick as a dog. A very sick dog, and as such we welcome you to our first ever remotely recorded podcast. Mike Whiskey is way over there, Your Friend Frosty is way over here, and all that separates them is a laptop screen and a couple of recording applications. This shoul…

Send us a text Infinite Lasagna. No, wait, don't leave, we have a point to make. Seriously. Your Friend Frosty and your bartender Mike Whiskey, having listened to far too much weirdness and wackiness online, have decided to weigh in at last on the world's most delicious controversy: the Infinite Lasagna Paradox. Yes, this is a thing, we swear. Grab…

Send us a text It's hard being as perfect as Your Friend Frosty. Yet, he's not without his quirks. I mean, just ask Whiskey. But this time, we're dealing with a specific one: submechanophobia. Yes, that's a real thing. As Frosty details how it all began for him and how merry submarines, electric hippos, and fake squids all send him screaming for th…

Tonight on GeekNights, having previously talked about Cheating we now consider Anti-Cheat. How do you prevent cheating? In the news, the Nintendo Direct is Feb 21 but the Switch 2 is likely 2025, and Helldivers 2's ugly anti-cheat in a PvE game leaves a bad taste in our mouths.

Send us a text So, that happened. The Super Bowl has come and gone, again, and your favorite nerds have decided that it must never happen again. That's right, they're co-opting the entire event and replacing it with something better, weirder, nerdier, and in all likelihood completely impossible. Hey, this is Your Friend Frosty's latest fever dream …

Send us a text The year is 1994. Somewhere in Massachusetts, a pair of nerds are getting very angry at pixelated lions and multicolored monkeys. Objects are thrown. Tempers are flaring.

Tonight on GeekNights, we riff on some of the ideas we're exploring for our new talk for PAX East 2024: All Games are the Same Game. Turns out you can factorize games into other games. Also we're back after Rym was gone skiing for a week. In the news, the Logitech G PRO X wireless headset is all right, it turns out US presidents aren't immune to al…

Send us a text The common cold has claimed Your Friend Frosty. Whiskey has fled for the hills. But not to worry, there's plenty to catch up on. Start with episode one and work your way forward.

Send us a text Close your eyes and hold your nose. That's right, we're asking you to think back in time to your (shudder) very first apartment. The roaches! The smell! The mold! The mice!

Tonight on GeekNights, we discuss the extremely good games we played at MAGFest 2024, which itself was possibly the best MAGFest that has ever happened to date. Particularly, the MAGFest Indie Videogame Showcase (MIVS) and a shout-out to Nothing Good Can Come of This. In the news, Palworld surged onto the scene with massive sales and weird controve…
