Bet on Yourself
Mar 10, 202200:52:03Tap to summarizeThey say one should always bet on themselves... A message that apparently resonated with Atlanta Falcons receiver Calvin Ridley as it was revealed the star wide out allegedly bet $1,500 on a game that featured his own team. Similarly, the message was clearly received by Kytch (a Delaware based company responsible for fixing McDonald's ice cream machines) as they too are betting on themselves in a $900 million lawsuit against the fast food giant alleging the company made derogatory remarks through false advertisement. It's a 'bad look' when the thing you've been hired to fix is seemingly always broken, & the company is preparing to fight to protect its reputation in court. These two 'bets' are discussed at length in this week's episode of the Vexed Intellects. Plus: Updates from Ukraine, Britney Griner's detainment, the scamming of the "Tinder Swindler", the flippantness in the use of the word narcissist, placeholder status & the settling for 'second best' in relationships, fake orgasms, the difference between a good woman & the right woman, & are some people just destined to be single forever? These topics & much, much more on the Vexed Intellects! #getvexed & enjoy!

I Got Family...
Feb 24, 202201:43:31Tap to summarizeTuesday was 'Twosday' (2/22/22), & while many people around the world celebrated the "day that the numbers aligned", rapper Omeretta went viral this week for making sure residents of her native Atlanta (& surrounding areas) were 'aligned' on what IS & is NOT Atlanta. The Vexed Intellects, (a collective comprised of both Atlantans & NOT Atlantans), discussed the viral hit single whilst reppin' where they stay. Speaking of numbers, the guys also discussed several number related topics, such as the study on how 1 in 4 men admit to faking orgasms, & the incredible numbers trans swimmer Lia Thomas put up at the ivy league championships, shattering Harvard’s Blodgett Pool records. Plus.... Alpha Females, frozen penises, Family Dollar, the grift of Michelle Tafoya, & the strong pimp hand of Michigan basketball coach Juwan Howard.

B*ssy
Feb 17, 202202:08:02Tap to summarizeThings aren't always as they seem... In the #1 series on Netflix this week, the "Tinder Swindler" appeared to be the heir to a diamond fortune to potential suitors seeking wealthy companions on a dating app. We now know that he's a master con man, who was arrested & is now banned globally from all dating apps. The "Crocodile of Wall Street" or "Razzlekhan" appeared to be a successful tech entrepreneur, motivational speaker, & "rapper" to her social media followers. We now know that she is one-half of a husband & wife duo accused of conspiring to launder almost 120,000 bitcoin worth $4.5 billion, effectively pulling off one of the biggest currency heists of all time. Sha'Carri Richardson accused the IOC of racism when they allowed Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva to continue competing at the Beijing Games amid a doping charge. This seemed in stark contrast to the punishment levied against Richardson when she was denied the opportunity to compete in last year's summer Olympic games due to testing positive for marijuana. We now know that the young skater is was allowed to compete due to a technicality with her being considered a "protected person" (a minor), & the decision in fact had nothing to do with racism. This week the Vexed Intellects (& Los) go in depth to discuss these unbelievable stories. Plus...The Trey Songz accusations, The future of Verzuz, the Super Bowl halftime show, the strange Moderna stock selloff, insightful relationship dynamics, & a hilarious story about one husband's terrible mistake during sex.

Apply Pressure
Feb 10, 202201:41:50Tap to summarizeIf you were a cylindrically shaped object that's primarily used as a vessel for pleasure you most likely had a GREAT week! This statement is especially true if you just so happened to end up at a 'sip-n-paint' event, a federally funded crack house, or at about the 6-inch mark of a ruler tattooed on the forearm of a l very liberated British woman. If none of those options sound appealing enough for you, then perhaps you'd prefer to listen to the Vexed Intellects discuss Kanye vs Kim, Joe Rogan vs everybody, or the "tinder swindler".

Neil Young, & other legacy acts have removed their music from Spotify in an effort to pressure the DSP to censor podcast giant Joe Rogan for allegedly spreading misinformation.

Jan 20, 202201:55:34Tap to summarizeIf a tree falls in the metaverse & no one hears it does it make a sound? Do trees even fall in the metaverse?

A Little Light Skinned
Jan 13, 202202:02:33Tap to summarizeContrary to popular belief (and Frank's red hot commercials), hot sauce does NOT go on everything! This theory was unwittingly put to the test when an Instagram "model" allegedly went dumpster diving in search of a discarded condom containing the nectar of the (six) God himself (Drake) in a failed insemination attempt post coitus. According to reports, the woman is considering suing the rapper whom she alleges is guilty of putting hot sauce in the prophylactic in an effort to thwart any potential attempt at securing a 216 month financial agreement. This week the Vexed Intellects discuss the explicit details of this alleged hotel romp, plus: "Airpod shaped" women, Pretty privilege, sex education with Jim Jones' Mom, step sibling "love", & a "90 Day Fiance" star who made 200k from farting in jars. These topics & much, much, more on this episode of The Vexed Intellects! #getvexed & enjoy! R.I.P. Sidney Poitier & Bob Saget!

We Don't Deserve Them
Jan 6, 202202:12:15Tap to summarize2022 is true & new... but like rollover minutes from cellphone plans in the early 2000s, the first few days of the New Year feels like leftovers from 2021. Firstly, R.I.P. to the legend Betty White (insert praying hands emoji). NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown made quite the spectacle as he stripped down to his underoos & unceremoniously exited the field DURING his team's second to last game of the regular season. In the first episode of the year the Vexed Intellects discuss CTE, mental health, & public grace in the aftermath of this incident. The guys also discuss Tristan Thompson, Ghislaine Maxwell, Vin Diesel, BBLs vs teeth, & a Time magazine article highlighting how there are more men single than women these days.
