#93 – PAX, Popes, & Pepper Spray

Slightly Biased Podcast

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
