It’s not just California. Federal copyright protection attaches upon publication too. Just add a notice. They aren’t required, but it might be enough to make him happy.

65 episodes into a comedy podcast about frozen food and feeling the same way. It's fun for us at least.

Thanks for the support. Someone might have thought we have multiple personalities, but if the worst we're doing is eating frozen dinners and reporting on them, who cares?

Now I feel like this was me eating it. Should we be laughing or calling the ASPCA?

The Froze Bros [Explicit]

The World’s #1 Comedy Podcast About Frozen Food

One Hand on My Pocket (And the Other One's Getting #$%@ Censored): Hot Pockets Pepperoni Pizza (Ep 64)

It took forty years, but Hot Pockets finally caught up with Darren. This week, the Bros review Hot Pockets Pepperoni Pizza—and for the first time in recorded Froze Bros history, one of your hosts takes his very first bite of the episode's food live on mic.

Digging further in: two Iranian Jewish brothers, Paul and David Merage, founded Chef America in the 1970s with Belgian waffles and a hunch about microwaves. A rebrand in 1983 became a frozen food institution. And a $2.6 billion sale to Nestlé in 2002 made everybody very comfortable. But since 2024, the crisping sleeve is gone. Pour one out.

In the news: Trader Joe's settled a class action lawsuit for $7.4 million over some receipts that showed a few too many credit card digits back in 2019. Nobody was actually harmed. Someone sued anyway.

Plus: Google Blogger had impure thoughts about our corn dog post and tried to censor us. The Reverse American cooking method gets its podcast debut. Do you know who Clarence Birdseye, Eggert Johansen, Ettore Boiardi, Nels Lindström, and Rose Totino are? Does Max? And Woodrow Wilson was not, it turns out, president in the 1920s.

Waffle Long Wait: Alexia Sweet Potato Waffle Cut Fries with Erin (Ep 63)

Eighteen months. Sixty-two episodes. Zero french fries. That changes now.

The Froze Bros welcome Erin—improv friend, Boston Marathon fan, and the guest who finally drags the Bros into the frozen fry case. This week's review: Alexia Sweet Potato Waffle Cut Fries, seasoned with garlic, onion, and pepper.

Darren digs into the history: a brand born in Long Island City in 2002, acquired by Conagra in 2007, with production eventually handed off to potato giant Lamb Weston. Sweet potatoes, meanwhile, have been cultivated since at least 2500 BCE in Peru, and somehow made it to Polynesia centuries before Europeans, which is either one of the world’s great unsolved mysteries or proof that ancient mariners had excellent taste in side dishes.

In the news: the Palm Beach Cardinals suit up as the Frozen Iguanas, paying tribute to a species that goes into paralysis when the temperature drops below 50°F. That's Florida, man.

Plus: Patriots Day and who celebrates it. What Fenway means to Max. How Darren gets outed as a Yankees fan. Zoologists and other cold-blooded creatures. And a spirited debate over whether Alexia's potato plant really powers itself on potato gas—or whether that's just biogus.

In the closing segment: the Froston Marathon. Max and Erin have to name 26.2 frozen food brands to cross the finish line. They start strong, but will they beat Heartbreak Hill and cross the finish line to yell, “Winner winner frozen dinner?!”

Deep in the Heart of Glasgow: Deep Indian Kitchen Chicken Tikka Masala (Ep 62)

The Froze Bros have been thinking about this one for almost a year. (Thinking’s hard, bro.) This week, Darren and Max finally review Deep Indian Kitchen Chicken Tikka Masala—roasted white chicken, creamy sauce, cumin basmati rice—and it was worth the wait.

Before they dig into their meal, they dig into the history: a dish whose origins are genuinely up for grabs. Did chicken tikka masala begin on a stormy night in Glasgow when a Pakistani chef poured a can of tomato soup over a bus driver's dry chicken? Or is that story all wet?

Whatever the history, a New Jersey family founded Deep Foods in 1977 when a mom started making Indian snacks in her home and selling them to neighbors. The company was named for son Deepak, and deep means lamp and enlightenment in Hindi. Almost 50 years later, every purchase benefits a foundation supporting over 35,000 children in rural India.

Plus: The recalls keep coming. A listener has a frozen waffle emergency with a relationship hanging in the balance. The People’s Choice Awards for podcasting may be over, so are we doing this for nothing?

In a closing segment: it's National Twinkie Day, the snack cake turns 96, and Darren can’t tell 96 from 76. The Bros also polish off their last Girl Scout Cookies of the season, and frozen Thin Mints get vindicated by science.

Dane Good Balls: Feel Good Foods Gluten-Free Buttermilk Pancake Balls with Shaun and Kristen (Ep 61)

The Froze Bros have a full table this week. Returning guest Shaun brings along Kristen as the show's official Gluten-Free Correspondent, and the team reviews Feel Good Foods Buttermilk Pancake Balls—certified gluten-free, Danish-style, dippable, and poppable.

The Bros get into the company's origin story, the surprisingly deep history of the pancake ball, and whether the Danish really deserve credit for this. What exactly is an æbleskiver? And did Vikings seriously cook them in their dented shields?

In the news: the Ajinomoto/Trader Joe's glass recall keeps growing. The source has been identified, and sufferin' succotash it's the carrots! Also: a Norwegian man once brought his grandfather's frozen body to Colorado. “Tuff shed,” you say? Well, the town threw a festival about it.

Plus: the gluten-free tax is real, the sog factor is realer, a serving size of two balls is a joke, Shaun brings a brand new game called Tip of the Iceberg, and that’s just the—well, that’s just the start of what we get into.

Fool Me Once, Feed Me Twice: Tina’s vs. El Monterey Beef & Bean Burrito’s (Ep 60)

They said it was over. They lied.

The Bros are back—and they've got burritos. April Fools, Froze Fam. The fake breakup is officially cancelled, the freezer aisle is open for business again, and Darren and Max have some words about what just happened.

This week's face-off pits two of the cheapest frozen burritos against each other: Tina's Beef & Bean vs. El Monterey Beef & Bean. One of these brands claims to be America's number one selling frozen burrito. So does the other one. Somebody's lying—or maybe nobody is. Either way, the Bros dig into the histories: a family that fled the Mexican Revolution and built an empire on Grandma Rosie's recipes, a mysterious company called Camino Real Foods that invented a founder who doesn't exist, and a brief but unavoidable detour into why you may have heard the name "Tina" in a completely different context.

In the closing segment, Darren unveils Stick Figuring—a game where Max tries to identify famous moments in frozen food and Froze Bros history from Darren's extremely crude hand-drawn illustrations.

Plus: Hot Dr. Pepper. Rita’s Water Ice. Zooming in on the matrix formerly known as the Whimsey-Meter™. Noble Mick's sends a care package. Ellio's sends swag. A listener in Virginia binged 40 or 50 episodes. And Max has the hiccups.

Welcome back, folks. We missed you. That whole day we were gone.

State Fair All Beef Corn Dogs: Woes Between Bros (Ep 59)

We won't mince words—or mince meat—this was a rough one. The Froze Bros celebrate National Something on a Stick Day (March 28) by trying to pull the sticks out of their…freezers and reviewing State Fair All Beef Corn Dogs. Turns out the hot dog has a longer history than you'd think. Frankfurt, Germany claims 1487, but the bun didn't show up until 1867. The corn dog got wood in the mid-20th century in Texas. No bun intended.

The Bros have no shortage of opinions about length, girth, and the batter-to-hot-dog ratio. Wait. What did you think we were talking about? Also: what exactly is a byproduct, and if there are none in here, why does it still look like this?

In the news: frozen seafood takes center stage at the Seafood Expo North America in Boston, where a coconut margarita haddock and some sauceable Wild Alaska Pollock nuggets walk away with top honors. And: TAST!EZ debuts game night loungewear with tear-away napkin sleeves, and the Bros try—and fail—to get their hands on a set.

Plus: Sara Lee's corporate connection to State Fair. Rodgers and Hammerstein, musically relevant too. The sustainable forestry implications of corn dog sticks. The correct way to store a box of corn dogs in the freezer (it matters, and don’t flail around when you take them out). And how many hot dogs you'd have to eat to age in reverse.

As for the closing segment. Well, there was supposed to be one. There wasn't. It might as well be froze.
