In this episode of the Slightly Biased Podcast, Vinny and Grayson tackle everyday chaos with their usual mix of humor and exasperation—starting with Grayson’s epic meltdown at a Wendy’s drive-thru, where an AI-powered menu served up confusion, two Baconators, and existential rage instead of his actual order. Vinny, meanwhile, pays $12 for egg muffins and questions why returning to the office feels like a slow descent into madness. But it doesn’t stop there. The duo dives into parenting philosophies, pool maintenance headaches, and the strange world of Facebook Marketplace scooters and inflatable hot tubs. They also revisit classic shows like 30 Rock, Scrubs, and Sex and the City—questioning which reboots still work, and which ones should’ve stayed in the vault. Topics Include: Key Takeaways: Grayson ends the episode reborn—as a baconator-hating vigilante who now identifies as a boomer.

Welcome back to the Slightly Biased Podcast, where the American Dream comes with a weird shed, suspicious wiring, and a $10K funeral plan. In this episode, Vinny and Grayson catch up on daily life—starting with Grayson’s experience helping his sister move into her first home. From building furniture and buying toolkits to discovering a stovepipe chimney in the backyard shed, it quickly becomes clear: homeownership is just DIY anxiety with a mortgage. Along the way, they rant (lovingly) about: They also get hyped (and slightly overwhelmed) by the trailer for James Gunn’s Superman, discuss wine as a housewarming gift, and tease their upcoming podcast about watching terrible movies chosen by you, the listener.

PAX East 2025 merch hauls, a wild Pope conspiracy, Marvel show rankings, and parenting chaos—welcome back to Slightly Biased. Grayson recaps his whirlwind (and wallet-draining) trip to PAX East 2025, featuring exclusive Dropout.tv panels, Jonathan Coulton performances, and $800+ in gamer merch he definitely doesn’t regret. Meanwhile, Vinny’s in a battle against rogue sprinklers, suspicious neighbors, and suburban lawn drama. Things get theological as the guys dive into Conclave, a twisty Vatican thriller film that sparks big questions. From Catholic Church history and the idea of a “Woke Pope,” to the vape-powered clergy of the future, no papal stone is left unturned. They also debate knife vs. pepper spray while hiking, explore the strange world of 3D printing horror props (shoutout Dead by Daylight), and rank every major Marvel Disney+ show—including WandaVision, Loki, Moon Knight, Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and She-Hulk. And yes, there’s parenting too—featuring snack-throwing babies, mushy veggies, and the art of teaching toddlers to survive jump scares. What’s Inside: • $800+ in PAX East merch: regrets? None. • Dropout.tv panels, Jonathan Coulton, and OmegaThon madness • Conclave movie twist discussion • “Woke Pope” and modern Catholic commentary • Sprinkler therapy and lawn care hot takes • The Smash Mouth Renaissance • Marvel show rankings: hits, flops, and why She-Hulk divides us • AI tools vs. real learning: ChatGPT in the classroom • Rollerblading injuries and 90s nostalgia • Parenting updates: snacks, sleep, and survival skills Recorded 5/12/2025 Follow us on Twitter and Instagram @slightlybiased_ Visit slightlybiasedpodcast.com for more hot takes, bad ideas, and philosophical breakdowns of sprinkler systems.

Vinny’s dentist cut ties (yes, seriously), Grayson’s shower routine sparks a full-blown philosophical debate about whether gravity counts as hygiene, and somehow—despite all odds—we’re still optimistic about the future of the MCU. We’ve seen Thunderbolts, and we have thoughts—rants about Marvel’s magical goop, overpowered weirdos, and the pacing problem that won’t quit. From 3D printing solutions to small talk breakdowns at the barber, it’s a rollercoaster of adulting disasters, fast food conspiracies, and the one thing we can agree on: flossing is a lifestyle.
