So, Your Friend Frosty's life has completely fallen apart. Everyone he knows and loves is suffering from either sickness, personal tragedy, or hospitalization. Fortunately, there's an episode in the can, so jump on board and take a listen. Where do you go when joy is needed? Under the sea to a pineapple and about...what, thirty years ago? Somewhere around there. Also, Whiskey brings up a maze of such mystery, it remains mysterious to this day. Enjoy!

Old English worlds still mean things. Apparently. According to your bartender Mike Whiskey. Anyway, this is a new Nerd Byte just for you, our lovely, beautiful, loyal listeners. Nothing can stop it, except for us returning from summer break and recording full-length episodes, but we're on a beach somewhere. Or possibly the lake. Anyhoo, today we tackle a topic that has ravaged the gaming and tech community for some time now - the end of physical media!!! And yes, Your Friend Frosty has strong feelings on it, because he's, well, old.

What would happen if Don Bluth made video games? Well, you don't have to wonder, that actually happened. Cast your mind back in time to when you had to control something weird and try and figure it out. Also, do not invite these people to cocktail parties, Your Friend Frosty and your bartender Mike Whiskey will make it weird. That's a promise, just as it's a promise that this is not the last Nerd Byte you'll hear this summer. Enjoy!

Welcome to the new world. Or at least, the new world of Bourbon On Ice, where we discuss all things nerdy, like gentlemen - and what could be more gentlemanly than evolution? Well, that's up for debate, but we're introducing a new format: Nerd Bytes. Spelled with a Y because we want it to see special. Which it is.

From here on out, we will be finishing the summer season with shorter episodes, minisodes if you will, and then be alternating from week to week between a full-length episode to a shorter episode, or "byte". This will allow us to first of all share more topics that we couldn't make an entire episode out of but are still fun to talk about, and also to allow your bartender Mike Whiskey and Your Friend Frosty to dedicate more time to our growing podcasting audio drama empire and other....projects we've got going on around here. So, no, the show is not ending. But we are evolving. Come and grow with us! And in this episode, learn about how those charming AI Reddit stories that we're all secretly watching have become meme-able and we're all playing along with our very own Bingo cards. Have fun!

It's the end. But not for us. It's the end for someone else! You can relax now. What are the neighbors up to? They're enduring the end of the world, of course. Who are they? Jamie and Malik, and the rest of the cast of World Gone Wrong, an amazing podcast which is...coming to an end, unfortunately. What happens when everything happens at once, and all of it bad? Kaiju, aliens, body snatchers, possessed rats, angry gators, time aberrations, disappearances, and even a pesky dragon? You get on the mic and talk all about it, in this clever podcast about two best friends holding it all together while everything falls apart. It's weird. It's witty! And it's almost over, but before that Your Friend Frosty takes Mike Whiskey on a journey through the madness. Come along!

So, apparently there's this horrible superhero known as Florida-Man. And we should all be worried. But instead, we're all completely entertained, and some of us straight up traumatized. Like Your Friend Frosty, who finally sits down to hear some of the most horrifying, bizarre, and just plain nauseating "Florida Man" headlines which can be leveled at a person, courtesy of your bartender Mike Whiskey. Also, summer plans, pure evil, gators, and a few shoutouts to fans. Happy summer, and happy 4th of July, Bourbonites!

By the time you hear this, it's no longer Father's Day. Which is where your hosts are at the time they recorded this - one of them with one, the other with the other. It's a family thing. As such, we're kicking it back a couple of years. With Your Friend Frosty having finally (and very late) gotten around to getting obsessed with Season Two of Hazbin Hotel, and the third season on the way, it's time for your bartender Mike Whiskey to be beaten over the head with the painful theories and blather that Frosty has been building up for the last two weeks. In the meantime, we're kicking it back to 2023 when he went over Hazbin Hotel before it even arrived. Enjoy! The madness starts here.

Ever sat around and thought to yourself, "Wow, things are just going too well for me, if only there were ways for me to stop being productive and happy and go, well, backwards in time and productivity." Well, this episode is for you, then. From those ridiculously huge televisions that you have to get up and cross a room to change the channel (those exist, we swear) to typewriters (someone thought they were a good idea?), to a very questionable moral suggestion (made by...your bartender Mike Whiskey???), it's all here, for you to mock. Also, Spotify chapter titles, summer updates, and Your Friend Frosty's inability to take a hint - or a joke. Enjoy!
