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.
