The Froze Bros

Two cheezy titans. One clear victor. This week: the Bros pit Farm Rich against TGI Fridays mozzarella sticks in their first-ever Face-Off with a third vote. The story: Farm Rich is the retail brand of family business Rich Products Corporation, founded in Buffalo in 1945. TGI Friday's launched as a Manhattan singles bar in 1965, pioneered the casual-dining appetizer menu, and today outsources their frozen products to Kraft Heinz. Plus: McCain family drama. Reddit redux. Crèmesicle liqueur and popsicle-themed butt wipes. This Old Home Fries . And what do hash browns mean to you? In the closing segment: An exclusive interview 5,300 years in the making.

If you like piña coladas. If you’re not into health food. If you have half a brain. This is the episode for you. This week: Birds Eye Voila! Cheeseburger Skillet Meal . The Bros finally escape with the Godfather of Frozen Food, Clarence Birdseye . The story: Birdseye learned about flash freezing from the Inuit people in Canada and brought the process home to Gloucester (Glawstah), Massachusetts. In 1929, he sold his company to Postum Cereal Company and Goldman Sachs. Today, it’s a Conagra brand. But, before he was done, Birdseye also designed freezer display cases and patented over 300 other inventions. Plus: Noble Mick’s Pina Coladas . Cauliflower pop tarts. Hartford Whalers and the Carolina Hurricanes. Carvel flying saucers. Ötzi the Iceman and some horrifying news about 5,000-year-old sourdough starters.

The Bros review Rao's brick oven crust uncured pepperoni pizza —a frozen product from a legendary East Harlem restaurant with attitude that, as it turns out, has never actually served pizza. Max cuts his frozen pizza into slices and cooks a single piece in a toaster oven. The story: Rao's has been slinging Italian food from the same corner of East Harlem since 1896. The frozen pizzas are newcomers, launched in 2022 by a company separate from the restaurant. Campbell Soup Company picked up the retail business in 2024, but the Bros wonder: where did this sauce recipe come from? Plus: Catholic school punishments. Brushing teeth on the march. Ice cream flavors by state. And the Bros debate whether celery actually produces juice. (It does, Max.) In the closing segment: Sicilian trivia tests Darren's knowledge of flags, wars, and geographic shapes. We were supposed to be in Sicily for this episode. We're in East Harlem. Fugetaboutit.

It's Pride Month and the Bros are reviewing JonnyPops Organic Rainbow Fruit Stacks while Darren sips The Pride & Joy—a bourbon Old Fashioned made with a melting rainbow popsicle instead of ice and simple syrup. The story: In 2012, college freshman Erik Brust and his cousin Jonathan dreamed up organic pops. Tragically, Jonathan died before launch. Erik and his college friends pooled their money, developed the recipe in their dorm room, and named the pops for Jonny. They also suggest a kind deed printed on every stick. But here's the kicker: JonnyPops makes pops in pride and trans flag colors, but they stay totally quiet about supporting LGBTQ+ rights. Darren calls them out: if you're going to market pride and trans flag popsicles, commit to the message and say it out loud! Plus: Frozen deodorant. Grilled PB&J. Sugar Factory launches rainbow sliders . Max’s earlobes. Max’s earlobes? The Bros collect popsicle sticks for rewards—only 984 more to score a JonnyPops freeze...

This episode is nice. Or maybe it’s about Nice. You know, in France. Either way, the Bros are having breakfast in bread with a Frawnch dish— Eggo French Toaster Sticks . Flexible and pull-apart, dippable and sticky, and surprisingly versatile. Before the sticks: a new way to make Bibigo dumplings, frozen crushed ginger , and stocking up on ice cream bars and grocery rewards points. In the news: an Igloo Trailmate cooler that looks like it could take off a limb—or maybe just deliver icy drinks like a Boston Dynamics dog. We want one. Then: the history of French toast and why it's called French toast even though France didn't invent it. And the Bros go wild with versatility dreams—these French toaster sticks could be part of breakfast sandwiches, lunches, and even desserts. In the closing segment: 15 trivia questions that seem to have a running theme. Almost. And Max almost gets them all right. Darren will walk you through the necessary math.
