Slightly Biased is a podcast about life and all its ups and downs. Each week, hosts Derek, Vinny, and Grayson discuss their experiences living in the Boston area.
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. Recorded 5/29/2025.

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. In this episode: The importance of warranties when buying appliances. Yard sales can be a new hobby to explore. 3D printing offers creative solutions for everyday needs. Listener feedback can lead to interesting discussions. Personal connections with service providers, like dentists, matter. Small talk can be awkward in certain professional settings. Hygiene habits vary widely among individuals. Shower routines can reflect deeper personal habits. Gravity does not replace the need for washing legs. Humor can be found in everyday life situations. Flossing is essential for dental health. Water picks alone are not sufficient for oral hygiene. Personal experiences with dental issues can shape one's perspective on health. Nostalgia plays a significant role in our appreciation of historical sites. Conspiracy theories can be humorous and absurd. Fast food establishments may have hidden practices to save money. Childhood exposure to conspiracy theories can leave lasting impressions. Classic games and shows evoke strong feelings of nostalgia. Supporting local businesses and artisans is important. The evolution of pop culture reflects societal changes. The Mighty Ducks sequel series faced challenges during COVID-19. Tom Cruise is considered the last true movie star. PAX East is a significant event for gaming enthusiasts. 'Conclave' features a surprising twist at the end. The theme of friendship is central in 'Thunderbolts.' Characters in movies can be overpowered yet mentally unstable. Pacing issues can detract from a film's overall impact. Marvel's current phase is perceived as weak. The future of the MCU is uncertain with upcoming films. James Gunn's direction is anticipated to revitalize DC films. Recorded 5/3/2025.

In this hilariously chaotic episode of the Slightly Biased Podcast, Vinny and Grayson tackle life's greatest challenges—like surviving small talk with children, firefighters, and random strangers. Along the way, they explore the mysteries of why their kitchen appliances might be secretly befriending their kids, how washing machines have become $700 scams, and whether eating grapes and milk together is an act of bravery or insanity. The conversation spirals into critiques of Brave New Bird (aka Captain America: Brave New World), the downfall of the MCU, and the sad fate of Daredevil. From pandemic pizza memories to ad blockers, movie nostalgia, and parenting chaos, it's a ride through everyday disasters and superhero meltdowns. Takeaways The importance of humor in parenting. Experiments with food can lead to unexpected results. Washing machines can be a source of frustration. Body cam videos can be a family bonding activity. Ferberization is a common sleep training method. Health concerns can be a topic of discussion among friends. Gas station sushi is a risky culinary adventure. Awkward conversations with strangers are a part of life. Supporting local kids' businesses can lead to unexpected interactions. Critiques of modern superhero movies reflect deeper societal issues. The MCU's recent films reflect a culmination of years of storytelling. Loki Season 2 showcases the complexities of the multiverse. External factors like COVID and strikes have impacted the MCU's direction. Generational differences in parenting styles affect perceptions of entitlement. The NFL Draft highlights the pressures young athletes face. Directors like Tarantino and Anderson grapple with their legacies. The evolution of technology influences how stories are told in media. The importance of practical effects in filmmaking is emphasized. The conversation touches on the significance of character development in series. The need for fresh perspectives in filmmaking is crucial for the industry. Recorded 4/27/2025.

Vinny's balancing work, parenting, and his "second job" of babysitting, while Grayson navigates his usual daily chaos. Over coffee and G Fuel, they dive into a love letter to action movies, from classic "one guy vs. an entire gang" flicks to the absurdity of Reacher and The Beekeeper—where Vinny questions the logic of a Massachusetts call center. They wrap things up with some good-natured roasting of Stone Cold and Over the Top, agreeing that nothing beats a ridiculous, over-the-top action spectacle. Recorded 3/30/2025.

Vinny rode a bike for the first time in a long time on the Cape Cod Rail Trail. He didn't fall off but he was very scared he might.
