The Vexed Intellects Podcast

Last week actor & comedian Kevin James was trending on Twitter after a map surfaced on the social media site relating to PornHub's year-in-review data. Since 2012 The popular hub for porn (no pun intended) annually shares data revealing the most searched porn categories for each state in the U.S.. The map suggested the top search trend for the state of Tennessee was James, of The King of Queens and Kevin Can Wait fame. Not to yuck Tennessee's yum, but this revelation left many scratching their heads after the post went viral.

 As it turns out, the map is fake (it was created in 2019 by a Twitter user), however, the top category listed for the state of Louisiana (lesbian) might be closer to reality than not. It's being reported by several outlets that another famous big guy (the state's highest paid employee) has quite the appetite & the attraction for the ladies. LSU Head Football coach Ed Orgeron is being relieved of his duties at season's end after pictures surfaced appearing to show the coach shirtless post coitus with a young blonde.

Several other reports made the headlines as well, like the time Orgeron allegedly made inappropriate comments to an LSU employee's pregnant wife at a gas station, & reports that children of love interests were allowed to disrupt practice & participate in drills with the team. Coach was wylin' y'all...

The Vexed Intellects discuss these amazing events from the week plus..

Ben Simmons, women being terrible at sex, toxic men changing, the problem with "lived experience", & the incredible shrinking attire of Hooter's girls..

Last week the internet was sent into a frenzy after Netflix released Dave Chappelle's latest comedy special "The Closer". Lines were drawn in the sand (on social media) as people debated whether the famed comedian was 'punching down' at trans people. For some, the overarching theme of the special was to point out the hypocrisy of selective outrage & "woke" culture. Chappelle made the argument that the plight of other marginalized groups are often prioritized over that of Black, brown, & indigenous people. 

Ironically that theory was quickly put to the test after a New York times report revealed several email messages dating back as far as 2011 where Las Vegas Raiders head coach Jon Gruden made some disparaging remarks about NFLPA Executive Director DeMaurice Smith's physical appearance (big lips trope) & competency (Dumb). No disciplinary action was taken in the days following the release of the report even as it was widely circulated in articles & discussed on news programs. It was only after the revelation that Gruden had also made homophobic & misogynistic remarks about NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, openly gay player Michael Sam, & others that the Raiders organization "allowed" the now disgraced coach to resign on his own volition.  

Was Chappelle right?  

Does a marginalized group hierarchy exist in which certain groups get prioritized over others, & if so, who gets to decide the pecking order? This week the Vexed Intellects address the complex questions surrounding this conundrum. 

Plus... 

The Kyrie Irving vaccination saga, the embarrassing defeat of Deontay Wilder, Jamie Lee Curtis comments on plastic surgery wiping out generations of beauty, modern female intrasexual competition, the expectations of return on investment in dating, & a woman who sued the insurance company of a guy she caught an STD from during a passionate backseat romp.

Rapper Fat Joe introduced a new staple into the urban vernacular lexicon this year when he uttered: "Yesterday's price is not today's price" during an Instagram live stream following the Verzuz matchup between The Lox & Dipset. 

The now infamous saying has caught on like wildfire on social media, & has proven timely as popular value store Dollar Tree announced prices will be going "All the Way Up" on select items effectively retiring the store's motto: "Everything's $1".

Could the increase in the 'cost of things' be the reason hundreds of world leaders, politicians, celebrities, & religious leaders have been using offshore accounts to shield assets collectively worth trillions of dollars as revealed in the 'Pandora Papers'? Miami residents (surpassed L.A. in cost of living) & ESPN's Sage Steele (suspended 1 week for racially insensitive remarks about former president Barack Obama) probably wish for "yesterday's price" to stay the same. 

This week the Vexed Intellects (& special guest Kenna Williams) discuss all of the topics mentioned, plus...

Kakorrhaphiophobia is defined as the abnormal fear of failure. There is an ongoing narrative (widely disputed by several publications) that 50% of marriages end in divorce. Unvetted belief in this narrative (among several other factors) has greatly contributed to many people having kakorrhaphiophobia towards nuptials. 

If celebrity relationships are "goals" for people on the fence about tying the knot... This week didn't help.

Singer Miguel & his wife Nazanin called it quits after 17 years together. Will & Jada's marriage made it's way back to headlines (post 'entanglement') as Will confirmed via an interview with GQ magazine that he & wife Jada have an open, "unconventional" relationship. If those two marriage bombshells weren't enough to quell your nuptial naivety... 

Actress Gabrielle Union admitted that she (in her current form) would NOT have taken back husband Dwyane Wade if "break baby-gate" had happened today, & former NBA player Stephen Jackson shares the story of him leaving his bride to be at the alter after she reneged on signing a prenup. 

The Vexed Intellects discuss these stories plus...

Snus in the anus, fire-starting boiled bear piss, Dez Bryant vs Colin Kaepernick/Jemele Hill, NBA anti-vaxers, Gen Zers' propensity for pics/relationship aesthetics over actual healthy relationships, & a rare condition that caused a man to ejaculate from his rectum for two years before seeking Medical assistance.

According to a friend of Nicki Minaj's cousin in Trinidad.. COVID-19 vaccines may cause impotence.. with this possibility in mind, the Federal government might want to consider offering Viagra prescriptions to incentivize men to get the shot(s) as the Biden administration proposes to enforce vaccine mandates on all Federal employees, & companies that employ 100 or more people, a measure that will apply to more than 100 million workers. 

This week the Vexed Intellects discuss the ensuing fallout of Minaj's candid vaccine tweets to her 22 million Twitter followers as medical professionals, news anchors, & others accused the music star of using her large platform irresponsibly to spread misinformation. The gentleman also discuss the antics of this year's VMA awards & the pageantry of the Met gala.

"A man gotta have a code" - Michael K. Williams as Omar Little. 

This week The Vexed Intellects discuss "man code" on a plethora of topics. 

Drake released his long awaited album "Certified Lover Boy" to much fan fare. The 21-song opus is projected to sell over 600k units in it's 1st week of release. Though the vast majority of conversations surrounding the release were positive, many people criticized the Canadian-born star for leaking an unreleased recording of a song left off Kanye West's 'Donda' album featuring a beautiful, sincere tribute verse to his late Mother from the legendary Andre 3000. 

Drake was also heavily criticized for having troubled R&B singer R. Kelly credited on his song "TSU' which contains a sample from one of Kelly's previous works. Was the 3000 verse leak a violation? Or Is all fair in rap beef? The Intellects discuss... Plus...

The Texas abortion bill, Joe Rogan's home COVID treatment, California gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder on reparations for slave owners with Candice Owens, black nerds(blerds) & desirability or lack there of fun black women, dating phobias, & a WILD story about a guy who went to a Waffle House restaurant weekly to engage in fisticuffs with a cook over "principle" & runny eggs......

This week the Vexed Intellects discuss goal manifestation, & the process of attracting one's desires into actualization via intention & effort.

The guys also discuss self expression & what that means for a person's experiences at different stages in life. 

For example: how does a child that grows up in an environment where their parents allow them to fully express themselves & be heard/have their feelings considered deal with social, professional, & relationship conflict as teenagers or adults? 

Another example: are black men better communicators when space is created for them (by other black men) to express themselves & be vulnerable/emotional without fear of judgment or having said vulnerability/emotion exploited, & used against them in retaliation in future arguments? 

The gentleman also respond to a tweet by a black woman comparing her experiences with male friends vs romantic partners, & her call for men to "protect black women" even in relationships. Plus...

Kanye West & Donda, Drake & Certified Lover Boy, Kendrick Lamar & Family Ties, DaBaby & HIV groups, "alternative" prophylactics, recent anti-vax conservative radio host deaths, & Trick Daddy's "salad" preferences...

The milk crate challenge has taken the timeline by storm, & it is perhaps a perfect metaphor for life. You take small, careful steps towards your goal only to fall swiftly (& sometimes painfully). In this 'game' few will prosper. Luck is a major factor in success for most, while others reach the goal by carefully strategizing & planning their steps. 

The last few months might feel like the milk crate challenge for track star Sha'Carri Richardson as she finished dead last in her return to the track during the women's 100m event at the Nike Prefontaine Classic. The heaping wave of jeers & jokes pointed directly at the young phenom are only rivaled by the sweeping praise & adulation she received during her meteoric rise only months prior. 

This sparked a debate as to whether or not this was just your normal par for the course sports banter or the mob seizing the opportunity to 'humble' a confident black woman. This week the Vexed Intellects offer some thoughts on this topic. Plus...

Jay-Z & Beyonce's Tiffany diamond campaign, 19 year old Lamelo Ball's "relationship" with 32 year old Ana Montana, Dell & Sonja Curry's divorce, Onlyfans' ban on sexually explicit content, Rachel Dolezal's feet pics, & an interesting theory on whether or not cheating is an illusion.
