Vinny and Grayson return with a summer recap that covers way more than suntans and beach trips. Between a fantasy football draft that instantly sparked accusations of rigging, a full-house COVID outbreak, and a newfound obsession with the baseball movie Eephus, it’s been a season to remember—and possibly forget.

This episode includes:

• Fantasy football draft chaos, commissioner drama, and questionable luck
• Parenthood brain fog, teething toddlers, and the no-screen-time debate
• COVID round three (or four) and why it felt worse this time
• Grayson’s Maine getaways, kayaking on the Charles, and losing the fight over industrial-chic lighting
• Home automation wins, industrial lighting losses, and lawn-care regrets
• Nostalgia trips with 2000s Blockbuster ads and slow-paced 90s kids’ shows
• Cultural roasts on the royal family, diamond industry, and generational blame games

It’s one part sports talk, one part parenting diary, and one part pop-culture roast—tied together with the pitch that’s basically life: Eephus.

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:

• The rise (and fall) of AI drive-thrus
• $12 breakfasts and the return-to-office struggle
• Learning through failure: bikes, parenting, and PVC welding
• Facebook Marketplace wins, scams, and scooter strategy
• Pop culture rants: Scrubs, 30 Rock, reboot fatigue, and nostalgia
• Boston College reunions with cafeteria food and booming DJs

Key Takeaways:

• AI can make fast food worse, not better
• Personal failures build resilience (and sometimes great podcast content)
• Reboots often rely too heavily on nostalgia
• Office life hits different after remote work
• Humor is survival when life hands you pool repairs and overpriced egg muffins

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:

• The importance of tools and why home inspections aren't optional (unless you enjoy chaos)
• Rotten decks, thermostat debates, and the financial burden of HVAC upgrades
• Tiny houses as a capitalist fever dream, and why reinventing the trailer park isn't innovation
• The funeral industry’s price gouging and the rising trend of sky burials
• Why the modern American starter home is starting to look like a financial trap

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.

Takeaways:

• Homeownership is more stressful than romantic
• Tiny houses are not the answer
• Minimalism isn’t practical if it comes with exposed wiring and no fridge space
• Reinventing the bus isn’t innovation—it’s capitalism on wheels
• And the PTA? It's all about the power.

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
