Breaking The Ice Podcast

Yes we were a couple days late, we are sorry. But the wait was worth it! This week we had on The Vulgar Chef (Kyle Marcoux). Kyle has some of the craziest food mashups on his Instagram. If you like food porn then you may like this guy! You could say he is "Hardcore Food Porn". We talk about how he got started, events he has coming up, and did Burger King really steal one of his recipes?!

This weeks episode starts off a little hot as it was in the middle of the protests in our capital. Then the boys moved on after about 10 minutes.. Then they covered some old WAAF stories, what it's been like not being on the radio for about a year, and people who review radio shows and standup comedy in blogs but have never done standup themselves. Also they go over some possible baby names because Josh and his wife announce they are having their first baby in May! IT'S A GIRL!

This week we were joined by comedian & former NHL referee, Mark Riley! We talk about the science behind comedy, buzz words, old hockey stories, and the time Mark and Josh fought on the ice and when Josh told a cancer joke at a cancer comedy fundraiser and made the crowd hate him!

As the podcast grows, we seem to find more people to drag down with us! Now we are getting college kids involved! YES, that's right we now have INTERNS! As Mike Hsu said on the episode, it'll be very hard for the new intern Alex to go on coffee runs for us over Zoom.. but I'm sure we'll find a way to make it work! We talk about our experiences interning and much more!

This episode we were joined by our old pal from WAAF Stiz Grimey. We talked about what he's been up to lately with WEEI and acting. Also Stiz tells the story of the time he thought he had his big break with Eminems' producer Jeff Bass, but it ended up just being a cruel prank by Josh Dolan.

This episode of BTI had the most heated debates of the year on this podcast. Was is about politics? Was it about race? Was it about religion? NOPE! None of the above. It was about beef. That's right BEEF! We also argued about what makes up the North Shore, what makes a TRUE roast beef sandwich, is it called a hoagie, grinder, or a sub? Plus who thought Mayo was dairy?! 10 people died during the making of this episode. Enjoy.

A friend of Mike Hsu's, Katie, is fighting a case of COVID-19. She was nice enough to fight through the symptoms she has had for the past 9 days to come on the show and talk about what it's been like for her to battle the 'Rona. We ask her many things about dealing with COVID including what her experience was like finding out she had it and then being contacted by the CDC.

Singer/Songwriter Frank Turner joined Breaking The Ice this week! You may know Frank from his band Frank Turner and The Sleeping Souls or from English hardcore punk band Möngöl Hörde. Frank talked to the guys about what he's been doing during the pandemic, like how he performed a weekly show from his own home on his Facebook and YouTube channels to raise money for independent grassroot music venues that were forced to temporarily close due to the pandemic. They talked about opening acts, some of his albums / new projects, and whether or not he still thinks rock and roll can save us all!

BREAKING THE ICE GOES TO THERAPY! This episode has been a long time coming. Going all the way back to when they were still on WAAF, Mike Hsu has said he wanted a therapist to analyze Josh Dolan. From Josh's violent hate for certain words, to his OCD, and maybe even his uncontrollable fear of snakes and napkins!! We welcomed a professional licensed therapist, Lucia Nazzaro, on to the show to give her professional opinion on what is wrong with Josh. They even find out what may be wrong with ALL people who are on the radio! This episode is hopefully educational.. but it's probably just shocking.
