Ahoy! Frizz and Bob hop aboard the smoothest ship on the sea and pour two fittingly fancy drinks - Frizz with a whisky of the waves, Johnnie Walker Swing, and Bob with Kavalan’s Concertmaster Port Cask Finish. Grab your captain's hat as we set sail into the breezy, deceptively deep world of yacht rock, with its velvety vocals, jazzy chords, and more emotional vulnerability than you’d expect from a genre famous for boat shoes and white linen pants. Don’t let the smooth grooves fool you. Behind the luxury lies a rich history of studio perfectionism, unexpected cultural crossover, and musical roots that run straight through the heart of Black American traditions. We rave about the underrated bangers, the comedians who coined the term “yacht rock,” and how this silky soft-rock sound found a strong second wind in the 21st century.

Bruce Springsteen, Born in the USA
Frizz and Bob light the sparklers, pour the drinks, and crank up Born in the U.S.A. as we celebrate the Fourth of July with the true Jersey Shore troubadour - Bruce Springsteen. Frizz sips on a glass of Bob Dylan's Heaven’s Door whisky, and Bob cracks open an ice-cold Budweiser like the American legend he is, while we chat about The Boss’s wild journey from playing Greensleeves in garages to accidentally scoring a gig on an adult film, and eventually becoming the gravel-voiced poet of the working class. Fire up the grill, press play, and let’s dig into an album that’s way more than its chorus.

boygenius and The Record
Frizz and Bob raise a glass to Pride Month with two beautiful pours and one unforgettable album: The Record by boygenius. With Oban Distiller’s Edition in one glass and Angel’s Envy Cellar Collection in the other, we dive into the story of how three distinct voices - Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus, and Julien Baker - found harmony, friendship, and fire in each other. Join us as we talk about chosen family, collaboration without ego, queer joy, and the raw emotional power that makes The Record a modern classic. Come sip with us and celebrate one of the boldest supergroups of our time.

Pt. 2: Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds
This week, Frizz and Bob continue the tale of Jeff Wayne's ultimate passion project, his musical version of The War of the Worlds. Frizz poured Talisker Single Malt Scotch and Bob pours Green River Bourbon while we talk about modern tours, Liam Neeson and his very special set of skills, computer-generated whackiness, and finally get into the marvelous tracks themselves. We'll open the cylinder of music theory and orchestration and learn just how brilliant the writing on this record truly is.
Frizz and Bob bring you a boozy podcast about all the untold stories behind your favorite music and the artists behind them... while drinking whiskey so you don't have to. Cheers!
