The Vexed Intellects Podcast episodes
- Coping
May was mental health awareness month, but taking care of, (and protecting) one's mental well-being is a full time job! This week the Vexed Intellects discuss recent instances of young people & their public declarations of struggling with mental health related issues. Naomi Osaka decided to skip post match press conferences, & ultimately elected to withdraw from the French Open due to her struggles with social anxiety & depression. The guys also discuss two instances recently where a young rapper & a popular car forum member took to social media to express the pain of being cheated on before taking their own lives. Could society do more to support our young people as they struggle to deal with mental issues publicly? Plus..
Bonnet-gate, Hobosexuals, fuckboys, "alpha" females, nice guys, the self-worth paradox, man shortages, & parents outraged than an elite NYC school is teaching 1st graders about masturbation. These topics & much, much more! #getvexed & enjoy!Discuss the show with the #thevexedintellects hashtag on Twitter and all socials, and please don't forget to rate us, review us, & listen on Apple Podcasts, Google, Spotify, Stitcher, or your favorite podcast app.Follow us on:

1 hr 51 min - Hey Guys!!!
Kwame Brown & Nick Cannon are proving with incredible efficiency that one man is more than capable of handling several suitors at once. As Nick continues to be fruitful with the seed of life, Kwame continues to unleash verbal Mortal Kombat as he berates his many detractors with "Mama's cooking" from the comfort of his own home (and truck) on his YouTube channel: "The Bust Life". This week The Vexed Intellects discuss the many adventures of these two gentlemen plus...
Dominique Wilkins claims racial discrimination, Dwyane Wade shares his thoughts on who should lead in marriage, A-Rod creates a male make-up line, & some straight men claim that a bromance consists of kissing & cuddling other straight men. The guys also discuss whether or not you should check 1st & request permission before venting/unloading your problems onto someone. Lastly, in the relationship segment of the podcast the Intellects discuss if flirting is cheating, & will "knowing your worth" keep you single. These topics & much, much more!#getvexed & enjoy!

2 hr 9 min - GOOOAAALLL!!!
May is mental health awareness month & the Vexed Intellects are back for another fun filled episode discussing real life & online mental health related topics.
The term "come healed" has been used by some people as a "DO NOT ENTER" sign to potential romantic partners that have either not gone to therapy or don't love themselves fully. Is it wrong for people to require pursuing suitors to come having already "done the work"? Is there value in holding space for someone that is currently, or has yet to seek professional help to address past traumas & insecurities?The gentlemen also breakdown the differences & benefits of muting someone on social media vs blocking them.Plus... Bad sex, T.I. & Tiny, Bill Gates, Joe Budden, making it easy for fuckboys, & is there a such thing as too much plan b? These topics & much, much more!#getvexed & enjoy!

2 hr 1 min - Back Alley Butt Jobs
"Loud & Wrong" was the theme this week...
As many Americans erroneously cerebrated Mexican Independence (Cinco de Mayo), South Carolina senator Tim Scott & Vice President Kamala Harris denied that America is a racist country. Oh, & Instagram model Lira Galore went to Twitter to contest if Anne Frank was truly deaf & blind (she wasn't.. it was Hellen Keller..... Yikes!!)
This week the Vexed Intellects discuss the role of men in relationships, grown men having roommates, men gossiping about other men with their women friends, & the difference between men & women with regards to desired dating outcomes. The guys also tackled topics such as "elitist" language, platonic spouses, pandemic burnout, & much, much, more! #getvexed & enjoy!Discuss the show with the #thevexedintellects hashtag on Twitter and all socials, and please don't forget to rate us, review us, & listen on Apple Podcasts, Google, Spotify, Stitcher, or your favorite podcast app.Follow us on:

R.I.P Shock G!
On this day in 1967 Aretha Franklin's song "Respect" was released. This week the Vexed Intellects along with Los (AKA "The Baroness" discuss whether or not it's possible for men to "Respect" their platonic women friends enough to NOT try to sleep with them.
This question was broached after an old clip resurfaced of Steve Harvey claiming that 99.9% of men only befriend women with the hopes of bedding them.
Is this true?
The gentlemen and Los also discuss the "talking" phase in relationships, sleeping with other men's wives, closure, seeing a person's "true colors" in anger, & the potential dangers of meeting up with strangers off the internet for sex.
These topics & much, much, more on this week's episode of The Vexed Intellects!

2 hr 20 min - Nouveau Rules
On the anniversary of the Air France heist, The Vexed Intellects are back for another event filled week to "steal" your attention like Henry Hill & the boys stole $420,000 54 years ago.
It was a week of sex, lies, & video tape as Disney employee Paul Pierce went live on Instagram with strippers, & newly turned 18 year old Bhad Babbie started an Onlyfans account netting her over one million dollars in 6 hours. Pierce was promptly fired as an ESPN NBA Analyst. Was his firing justified? He quickly received an offer from CamSoda to stream an NBA show with exotic dancers, so it would appear that this misstep has not dried up opportunities for the former NBA great.The guys also discuss a wide variety of topics in regards to cheating. Is there a such thing as cheating respectfully? Do women cheat just as much, or more than men? Do men still get the short end of the stick in divorce even when the wife is the one that has been unfaithful? The guys unpack all of these questions, plus..."Friendship" dates, Adult ADHD, Lil Nas X, Chet Hanks, Monogamy vs polygamy, text etiquette, 50/50 relationships, & much, much more on The Vexed Intellects!! #getvexed & enjoy!Discuss the show with the #thevexedintellects hashtag on Twitter and all socials, and please don't forget to rate us, review us, & listen on Apple Podcasts, Google, Spotify, Stitcher, or your favorite podcast app.Follow us on:
