Beard Laws Podcast

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 snack came from.

Along the way we discover prawn cocktail snacks, German peanut puffs, mystery cookies, international Cheetos, gummies, bacon-flavored snacks, strawberry biscuits and several foods we're still not entirely convinced were intended for human consumption.

Avery hates almost everything.

Matt discovers a snack that tastes like the smell of burnt tires.

The dog gets involved.

And somehow we eventually find a few things we'd willingly eat again.

Plus, we discuss whether international Snack Crates should become a regular part of Stay Outta My Fridge so we can continue traveling the world without leaving the studio.

Grab a snack and join us.

Just maybe don't grab the bacon-flavored one.

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, blackjack, craps and eventually turns to the slots. Megh hunts down Planet Moolah, King Kong and some of the machines she's been waiting to play in real life.

They battle over who ordered the better casino lunch, watch another player hit a massive jackpot, finally get onto Dragon Link and discover that hitting a bonus doesn't necessarily mean you're about to get rich.

Then their simple kid-free casino day takes a turn: they decide they're having too much fun to drive home and grab a hotel room.

One casino trip becomes an overnight date complete with dinner, drinks, live music, dancing, complimentary breakfast and another round of gambling before the final numbers are revealed.

After starting with $400, how much did Matt and Megh actually bring home?

And more importantly: Who won?

Listen to the end for the final bankroll and decide whether leaving a casino with a profit of any size officially counts as a win.

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, KFC, Arby's, and Dairy Queen.

Somehow, Arby's ends up winning the entire round, and Dairy Queen gets absolutely buried. We have some explaining to do.

ROUND 2: SNACKS

Doritos, Oreos, Cheez-Its, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Cheetos, Lay's, Pop-Tarts, Goldfish, pretzels, and Little Debbie snacks.

Iyla makes some interesting decisions, Matt refuses to abandon his beloved pretzels, and Oreos and Cheez-Its battle for the top spot.

ROUND 3: APPETIZERS

Mozzarella sticks, chicken wings, French fries, nachos, onion rings, potato skins, fried pickles, jalapeño poppers, soft pretzels, and chicken tenders.

Things get personal when Iyla's favorite foods start falling down the rankings, and somehow soft pretzels end up taking the crown.

THE FINAL RESULTS

• Best fast food restaurant: Arby's
• Best snack: Oreos
• Best appetizer: Soft pretzels

YOUR TURN!

Who has the worst food opinions: Matt, Iyla, or Megh?

And what should we blind rank next? Breakfast cereals, candy, drinks, pizza toppings, or something completely different?

Tell us what you think, and join us for another episode of Stay Outta My Fridge.

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 nobody wants another bite of. Coffee nearly causes a revolt. A peanut-butter-style wafer makes a serious run at the championship. And the snack that looks the least appetizing somehow becomes one of the biggest surprises of the entire box.

By the end, all 15 Turkish snacks have been judged and the Stay Outta My Fridge crew has to make the final call:

What is the best snack in the box?

Plus, we answer the question that really matters: if you only had one passport and could travel back to Turkey for one of these snacks, which one are you bringing home?

Listen to the end for the final rankings and our unexpected co-champions.

What country should we eat our way through next?

Follow Stay Outta My Fridge so you don't miss the next food challenge, mystery snack box, blind taste test or questionable decision that probably should've stayed in the fridge.

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 powders, cinnamon and peppermint gum, spicy strawberry candy and several creations that lead to one very important question:

Why is there chili powder on EVERYTHING?!

The crew starts with a reigning champion and puts each new candy up against it. Then everyone gets to choose a candy for somebody else before things descend into a rapid-fire speed round.

Eventually, the best candies make the Final Four — while one particularly rough family of candies earns the unofficial "Why Did Mexico Do This?" award.

And after dozens of bites, licks, questionable smells and immediate regrets, something completely unexpected happens:

Everyone agrees on the winner.

Which Mexican candy takes the championship? Which one belongs in the trash? And was buying this giant bag actually worth it?

Grab a snack and join the chaos.

Stay Outta My Fridge is a food, family and comedy podcast featuring taste tests, food challenges, weird snacks and the conversations that happen when you put a bunch of family members around a table and start feeding them questionable things.

If you've tried any of these Mexican candies, tell us what we got right, what we got completely wrong and what Mexican candy we NEED to try next.
