Dad Explains Gen Z Slang: Rizz, NPC Energy, and Mid (Back In My Day Rant)

In this episode, Dad explains Gen Z slang like Rizz, NPC Energy, and Mid in a classic Back In My Day rant. If you are confused by modern logic, this Dad Explains Gen Z slang breakdown is for you.

Welcome back to the Stay Outta My Fridge Podcast! Today, Beard Laws dives deep into the "Dad Life" struggles. We’re breaking down why Gen Z Slang makes zero sense, why music used to have actual intros, and the tragedy of modern Happy Meal toys. Plus, we discuss the unwritten rules of the household—including the "Sacred Thermostat" and why every dad has that one specific fork.
