The Food Price Is Wrong: Who Actually Knows What Groceries Cost? How much does a regular bag of Doritos cost these days? Four dollars? Six dollars? Do you need to refinance your house just to buy a bag of chips? This week on Stay Outta My Fridge, Matt, Megh and Iyla are putting their food-price knowledge to the ultimate test in THE FOOD PRICE IS WRONG! Three family members. Four rounds. One final championship challenge. And absolutely no confidence that anybody knows what they're doing. The rules are simple: Everyone guesses the price of a food item. The closest guess...

WHICH CAME FIRST? THE ULTIMATE FAMILY FOOD TRIVIA SHOWDOWN How well do you REALLY know your favorite foods? You probably know what an Oreo tastes like. You probably know the difference between Doritos and Pringles. And you've definitely heard of McDonald's and Taco Bell. But do you know which one came FIRST? This week on Stay Outta My Fridge, Matt is joined by Avery, Iyla, and Megh for a family food-history challenge that sounds easy until the questions start coming. The rules are simple. Two famous foods. One question. Which came first? But there's a catch. Everyone has to bet...

She Predicted the First Korean Snack… Somehow! What happens when you give a family a mystery box full of South Korean snacks and absolutely no idea what they're about to eat? Apparently, somebody becomes a snack psychic. This week on Stay Outta My Fridge, Matt is joined by Lo and Iyla for a South Korean SnackCrate adventure. Before the first snack even comes out, Iyla makes a prediction that sounds completely ridiculous. Churros. South Korean food. Churros. Surely not, right? Well, things get interesting pretty quickly. From crunchy ramen you're supposed to smash instead of cook to spicy rice cake sn...

90 WNBA Cards, $27, and Three Very Different Predictions | Stay Outta My Fridge What happens when your daughters discover Walmart has restocked the WNBA trading cards? Apparently, Dad spends $27. This week, Matt is joined by Avery and Iyla for a laid-back Sunday Funday in the studio. They've got six packs of 2026 Donruss WNBA cards, 90 total cards, and absolutely no guarantee they're going to pull anything good. Before the packs get opened, everybody makes a prediction: Iyla thinks they'll find $30 in card value.Avery predicts $25.Matt goes with $34. Then the packs start flying.

Can Artificial Intelligence Actually Make a Good Lunch? This week on Stay Outta My Fridge, we're answering one of life's most important questions: Can ChatGPT make something edible using whatever random food happens to be sitting in our refrigerator? Matt and his 10-year-old daughter Iyla are putting AI to the test in a father-daughter cooking challenge that could either end with a delicious lunch or a phone call to the nearest sandwich shop. Here's how it works. Iyla searches the fridge, freezer, and cupboards for 15 ingredients. Everything from leftover pizza and eggs to Nutella, Slim Jims, SpaghettiOs, and mozzarella cheese...

Pack your bags. Actually, don't. We're way too cheap for that. This week on Stay Outta My Fridge, we're traveling the world the only way we know how: sitting in the studio and eating other people's snacks. Matt's brother and his family gave us a giant collection of snacks from Brazil, Germany, the UK and the Caribbean. Instead of intelligently researching any of them beforehand, we put Lo in charge. Excellent decision. Lo hands out the snacks one at a time while Matt, Megh and Avery taste-test everything, attempt to figure out what they're eating and guess which country each...

Matt and Megh are KID FREE. So naturally, they're going to the casino. This week on Stay Outta My Fridge, Matt and Megh head to Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort with $400 and a challenge: they each get $200 and whoever finishes with the most money wins. Megh has her sights set on the slot machines she's been watching and playing for months. Matt thinks his roulette, blackjack and table-game experience might finally give him an advantage. It does not go according to plan. The day quickly becomes a battle of luck, casino food, slot bonuses and rapidly disappearing bankrolls. Matt tries roulette...

What happens when you have to rank your favorite foods without knowing what's coming next? Matt, Iyla, and Megh are back in the Beard Laws studio for a new episode of Stay Outta My Fridge, and this time, nobody's eating anything. We're putting our food opinions to the test. The rules are simple: We reveal ten items, one at a time, and each person must permanently rank them from #1 to #10. Once a spot is taken, it's gone forever. Three rounds. Thirty decisions. Absolutely no second chances. ROUND 1: FAST FOOD RESTAURANTS McDonald's, Taco Bell, Wendy's, Chick-fil-A, Five Guys, Burger King, Subway...

We’re eating our way through Turkey this week on Stay Outta My Fridge. Beard Laws grabbed a mystery Turkish snack box filled with 15 different treats, and the mission is simple: try every single one, rank them from worst to best and decide which snack is good enough to use our imaginary passport to go back and get again. That turns out to be considerably harder than expected. The crew works through chocolate-filled biscuits, lemon cookies, coffee-flavored candy, sesame crackers, strawberry wafers, savory snacks and one creation that earns the unfortunate nickname “bunny poop.” There are immediate favorites. There are snacks...

This week, Stay Outta My Fridge is heading to Mexico… without actually leaving the kitchen. Beard Laws bought a giant assortment of Mexican candy packed with roughly 50 pieces, and most of the crew has absolutely no idea what they're about to eat. Avery, Iyla, Lo, Meg and Beard Laws dig through the bag to find the candy that looks the best, the candy that looks the most terrifying and, eventually, the best and worst Mexican candy of the entire taste test. Things get weird quickly. There's gummy spaghetti with sauce, pickle flavors, watermelon candy, mango lollipops covered in chili, mystery po...

This week on Stay Outta My Fridge, we're doing something we've somehow never done before: walking into Dollar General and buying foods that none of us have ever tried. The rules were simple. Beard Laws, Iyla, Evan, and Colden each had to hunt down something new—something that looked good, looked weird, or was just interesting enough that we had to know what it tasted like. Then we headed back to the studio and tried everything. On the menu: Kid CuisineKool-Aid Sour FrostbiteZombie PeelersButter Rings cookiesFrollies Fruit StacksBrownie BrittleRiesen chocolate caramelVlasic Pickle Balls Along the way, we discover just how ba...

How good of a lunch can you make with just $10 at Dollar General? Beard Laws, Avery and Evan each get the same challenge: spend no more than $10, buy their own ingredients at Dollar General and turn them into the best lunch possible. There’s one more problem: once someone claims an ingredient, it’s off limits to everyone else. After shopping, the three competitors head into the kitchen with 30 minutes to turn their budget groceries into an actual meal. The final menu: • Beard Laws: chicken quesadillas with seasoned fries
• Avery: cheesy chicken pasta
• Evan: homemade pizza bombs And things do...

What's the best Slim Jim flavor? This week on Stay Outta My Fridge, we're putting eight different Slim Jim flavors to the test and ranking every one from worst to best. We're trying: OriginalMildSpicyTabascoTeriyakiPepperoni & CheeseMild & CheeseBuffalo Wild Wings Buffalo Style Chicken Stick The rules are simple: taste each one, argue about where it belongs, and keep rearranging the rankings until we crown the official Stay Outta My Fridge Slim Jim champion. Can anything actually beat the Original? Is the Buffalo Wild Wings collaboration any good? And which flavor gets unanimously dumped at the bottom of the list? There are disagreements...

Think you could tell the difference between an Oreo and a Dollar General cookie? We thought we could too. In this episode of Stay Outta My Fridge, the family puts six popular name brand foods head-to-head against their Dollar General counterparts in a blind taste test to see if the extra money is actually buying a better product... or just a familiar logo. With blindfolds on, a homemade trophy on the line, and plenty of trash talk along the way, things get a lot harder than anyone expected. Foods We Tested • Oreos vs Clover Valley Sandwich Cookies • Pop-Tarts vs Clover Vall...

What happens when you let ChatGPT plan your entire family dinner... and you're only allowed to shop at Dollar General? That's exactly what we decided to find out. Armed with an AI-generated shopping list and a $35 budget, we headed to Dollar General to see if artificial intelligence could actually create a meal worthy of a restaurant. The results? Garlic Parmesan waffle strips, a bacon waffle burger and candy biscuit bombs stuffed with everything from Milky Way bars to sour candy. Some recipes sounded ridiculous. Some surprised us. One might actually become part of our family's regular dinner rotation. Join Beard...

This isn't just another shopping trip... Lo is heading into her senior year, so we gave her one simple challenge: she could pick ANY 12 items she wanted. No hints. No suggestions. Just whatever she wanted. Then it was Iyla's turn... Let's just say things got a little more chaotic. Join us as we visit multiple stores, react to every pick, share plenty of laughs, and see what each daughter chooses when given complete freedom. Which item surprised you the most? Tell us in the comments what YOUR 12 items would've been during your senior year. If you enjoy family adventures, shopping...

We tried 5 local restaurants in one day across Watertown and Redwood, New York to find the hidden gems, the best food, and the places we'd happily visit again. After dropping Iyla off at Camp Wabasso for the week, it was just me and Megh. No Avery. No Lo. Just a Sunday Funday road trip exploring local restaurants, breweries, pubs, and hidden gems throughout Northern New York. Some stops were recommendations...

Dollar General Cake Challenge: Evan loves baking, but this time he wasn’t allowed to touch the cakes. Evan thought he was coming to Stay Outta My Fridge to bake three elaborate cakes using only ingredients from Dollar General. Instead, Beard Laws surprised him with three apprentices: Iyla, Colden, and Madden. Evan could choose the cakes, set up the stations, assign the bakers, and run the kitchen, but he had to sit back and watch the chaos unfold. The three Dollar General cake creations were a Cosmic Brownie Cake, a S’mores Cake, and a Red Velvet Cookie Monster Cake. Ther...

Dice Sandwich Challenge We Couldn't Believe Actually Worked | Stay Outta My Fridge The Dice Sandwich Challenge We Couldn't Believe Actually Worked quickly turned into one of our funniest family food experiments yet. Avery and Isla joined Beard Laws as every ingredient for lunch was decided completely by dice, and once the chaos started there was no turning back. No rerolls. No changing your mind. No backing out. Every bread, protein, topping, sauce, and chaos card had to be played exactly as rolled. Somehow we ended up with sandwiches that ranged from surprisingly delicious to absolute disasters. What's In The Fridge...

Frozen Pizza Taste Test Under $5 | Stay Outta My Fridge Frozen Pizza Taste Test Under $5 is finally here, and Beard Laws, Avery and Isla are raiding the freezer to find out which budget frozen pizza deserves a spot in your kitchen.

Can a cheap frozen pizza actually beat the competition? That's exactly what we're finding out. From crispy thin crust pizzas to fluffy cheese pizzas and...

Five Wheels Pick Our Lunch Challenge and things got weird fast! Beard Laws, Avery, and Isla raid the fridge and let five random wheels decide every ingredient of their lunch—from the bread to the toppings to the condiments and even a Wheel of Chaos that changes everything. This week's Stay Outta My Fridge episode might feature some of the strangest sandwiches we've ever created. What happens when peanut butter lands on a bagel? What if olives somehow work on a sandwich? And could a random spin accidentally create the perfect lunch? What's In The Fridge This Week:
• Random sand...

Stewart's vs Dollar General: Which Food Wins? In this blind taste test, Beard Laws, Avery and Isla raid the kitchen to settle a debate that every Upstate New York family has probably had at least once. We bought store-brand foods from Stewart's Shops and Dollar General, mixed them up, labeled everything A and B, and put the entire family to the test. Nobody knew which store was which. From bread and beef jerky to cookies, gummy worms, hot dogs, trail mix, cheese slices, and lemonade, we ranked every item and crowned an overall champion. Some of these results completely shocked...

Snack Crate World Taste Test | Stay Outta My Fridge turned our kitchen into an international snack battlefield.

This Snack Crate taste test delivered everything from incredible chocolate and chips to snacks that tasted like they were invented during a fever dream at 2 AM.

Dr Pepper sausage is real… and today we’re putting it to the test. In this episode of Stay Outta My Fridge, we break down weird food trends, food lies, and whether this Johnsonville Dr Pepper sausage is actually worth trying.

So what happens when a brand combines soda and sausage? Is it genius… or just another example of food going too far? In this episode, I dive into the truth...

Dad life is messy, emotional, and unpredictable. In this episode of the Stay Outta My Fridge dad life podcast, I share a real week of parenting, youth sports struggles, and the chaos that comes with raising athletes and running a household. Being a parent means celebrating wins, handling tough moments, and learning lessons you never expected.

Watching your kid experience adversity in youth sports is one of the ha...
