  • Houdini

    The men of the vexed intellects start off as a train wreck with a train being run in the background.  At least one of the Vexed is living his best life with a new mic and a New Attitude. (We're looking at you, Jarratt DAMN!)  The remainder of the show is a little shell shocked by the current turnout in the election. 

    The fellas + lady (Did we not mention that FourEyesAndSomeCurls joined us this week?) go in to discuss the Marijuana legalization in 5 states during the election season. Next they discuss the debts coming home to roost with Deutsche Bank collecting on 340M owed by Trump.  The show continues to discuss the length a Trump voters will go to support their King.  

    The fellas shout out amazing feats by women with out You Glo Girl segment.  Chief Juanita Holmes, Sarah Mcbride, Keiajah Brooks, Cori Bush, Ebony Young, Nia Decosta. A dead man in North Dakota is elected to State Senate and spitting on a lady's back to fake an orgasm. Yes, spitting on a lady's back...

    The team ends with a long segment on Trump and the election.  #GETVEXED and Enjoy!

  • Burkin Bible Benediction

    The intellects begin the show with a mixed bag of good and bad weeks.  


    RIP to Walter Wallace and the young man gunned down by the police in DC. 

    Shout out to the great Muhammed Ali with The anniversary his first Victory and celebrating the passing of desegregation across the board. 


    The show goes on the represent the Empress Delfina converting Trump supporters through “sex therapy”.  They reflect upon side conversations from the ladies around having sex with guys with guts.  They discuss prehistoric worms, eating cash and city girls winning in Milwaukee.  An attorney in Miami robbing banks to apparently keep up with the Joneses. 

    Rightfully the discussion turns to Birkin bags and Saweetie kicking people to the curb... as the saying goes no romance without finance.  When will folks start “reading the room” with our culture, society and lives on the line. Is it a self esteem issue for our people?

    Ochocinco bringing home taking about the fake jewelry and watches that he has bought through the years. Kanye West speaking on a potential investment in Haiti that we are hopeful something comes of it.  

    Tyson takes on Boosie's position against the homosexual community and takes a stance against voicing his opinion in this instance.

    The conversation moves in another direction as the team discusses “the chase” and if it works for real men. They then continue to discuss giving a man 12 months prior to knowing if its “the one” and then goes on to give counter advice to this perspective.  

    The conversation turns to the full court press and getting married juxtaposed with relationship check ins. The show closes with a quick discussion of the Supreme Court approval and her dearth  of experience.

  • Dick to a Gunfight

    The conversation begins with a discussion of the Domestic terrorist plot for Michigan militia to kidnap the MI and the VA Governor.  The conversation continues to review Torey Lanez being  brought up on charges for the Megan Thee Stallion shooting and is this a first step in “protecting black women”?  The Oath Keepers “keeping peace” at the polls. Should this be allowed or is this outside the lines (13:35). The real question of the week is, are you getting the new iPhone even without the new charger (15:00)? 
    We go on to celebrate women in our you Glo Girl segment Jeanie Buss, Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, Kira Hancock, Kamala Harris and Dr. Lindsay Harris.  The show goes on to shout out Michael Render aka Killer Mike and Ambassador Andrew Young for launching the Greenwood Bank (27:45) with a shout out to Lebron James and the Lakers for their NBA Championship win with a honorable mention for Megan Thee Stallion and her Don’t stop initiative (29:00).

    There are a litany of WTF’s to go around and digresses into a possible Bestiality conversation with DTTP(1:02:00).  We then take a listen of the Bill Burr SNL soliloquy around white women taking advantage of the Woke movement. A new segment of hypotheticals starts with a treatise on “being the bigger person” (1:10:00). Is it practical or some New Testament philosophy that we have passed down through the ages. 
     The conversation turns to submission for Young Jeezy & Jeannie Mai and the flack that comes along with that decision (1:18:00). Help us understand the experience for US… We as the Vexed Intellects feel like we are better off with women in our corner.

  • Leading From The Front

Thomas Byrd, and Eddie Van Halen. Thoughts and prayers to Ananda Lewis with a reminder to go get your mammograms (25.01) and Chrissy Teigen with the loss of their child this week.

  • Sh*tshow

    Welp... it’s another week on the vexed intellects where we are just plain ole vexed.

    In reality you know why we’re here... the “shit-show” that was the presidential debate. (1:26:35)  The guys muster up the levity to discuss some other topics including, a convenient post office address glitch (07:23), payout for the victims in the Vegas shooting (9:47), Mark Cuban helps Delante West (25:41), allegations of mental instability leads to a conversation where they say “crazy” sex is the best and does that apply for women? Sex world records (34:41), reused condoms (40:20) and when does sec count as sex?

     The conversation turn political again as they discuss the Kentucky's Attorney General and his criminal activities (1:04:00), Trump only paying $750 (1:15:00), and a quote to sum up the debate. 

    “A wise man should never argue with fools ‘cause at a distance you can’t tell the difference between the wise man and the fool...” 

    The summary of the night Stand back and Stand by... #GetVexed and Enjoy!

  • Hopeful but Doubtful

    On today’s episode the Vexed Intellects are joined by an perennial fave Tall Paul aka the Sultan of the Swats. 

    Upon the recording on Tuesday the gents were Hopeful but Doubtful on a myriad of topics ranging from Justice for Breonna Taylor and a righteous replacement process for the notorious RBG (RIP). Justice deferred seems to be a theme of the week where politics are the most important card that can be played. 

    This lack of fairness and truth is reinforced when CEO’s don’t understand black talent and 45 issues more bans on diversity training. The fellas look at the bright side representing the real men of genius as Deion Sanders takes the reigns at JSU, MJ gets into Nascar signing Bubba Wallace with the hope of bringing his championship ways to the oval track, and a shout out to Michael Bloomberg seemingly playing the long game for the 2024 election with his support actions for the community(38:14). 

    The conversation takes a personal and serious turn when they are prompted by a new story of a Doctor unfortunately being shot due to orgasm during a prostate exam (44:42). The moral of the story “go get checked out” because the fear isn’t as important as knowing your health status. 

    The show is rounded out by Ty Lawson’s take on ‘cakes’ (1:02:00), two new cross-racial dolezals (1:15:00), Mitch McConnell and the repubs hypocrisy (1:18:40) and love after lockup.

    On this week’s episode the fellas are joined by Ramona Jackson aka “The Bourbon Bohemian” as they take the opportunity to celebrate Naomi Osaka, Nikki Porcher and the other You Glo Girl nominee’s that will make you LOL like they did(33.33). 

    The conversation continues with a political spin and they discuss Andrew Gillum’s (1:11) less than interesting revelation and the TransSatan anarchist that won the republican nomination for Sheriff (1:07). 

    The show wouldn’t be complete without a nod to Michelle Obama’s relationship advice(1:14) and the “WAP” that got the ring but couldn’t make a happy home (1:17). 

    They round the show out with discussions on All Buildings Matter (1:26), White on White Crime (1:37)and the influence of Hip Hop on the current political landscape (1:40).

  • The Kardashian Effect

    This week’s episode the fellas send off another Atlanta institution.  Rest in Peace to Follies, home of the shoe models and show girls. 

    They dig a little deeper into today’s events as the discuss 45’s desire to supersede the 1619 Project by defunding schools.  This cancel culture conversation continues as they discuss clout chasing and the 24 hr news cycle sound bite culture.  

    They go on to mourn a couple cultural icons KUWTK and the Mexican pizza.  As a mash up to those two conversations they cover the continued Kardashianing of today’s society that’s devoid of discretion, respect and subsequent consequences.  

    They go on to discuss woes of the married life, the antiquated structure of child support and alimony as they come to a split decision around the alimony request from Dr. Dre’s wife.

  • Dollar Tree

    First off RIP to the great Chadwick Boseman…. 

    On this week’s episode of the Vexed Intellects the guys start off with a low calorie all organic hip hop rendition from the new Vanilla Ice aka Nicole Ritchie.  They discuss heavy topics of today around the great work in Georgia busting up the sex trafficking ring and the utter disgust fort the district attorneys office attempt to use Breonna Taylor’s ex boyfriend as a pawn in defending the senseless murder.  

    The Intellects go on to discuss black excellence as they cover some amazing banking power moves and mergers inside the black community.  These moves set the community up for enhanced reinvesting power that fly in the face of the insidious policies around Missouri gun laws, incomprehensible support for the murdering Kyle Rittenhouse and overall “fear of a black planet” narrative being used by 45’s re-election campaign to activate his base. 

    If you are looking for a good like you can’t miss the treatise on Dollar Store and discount store steaks.  We will let you be the judge.


    All of that and so much more! Enjoy and #GETVEXED
