Welcome back to another episode of The Intellectuals! Today on the Pantelis Comedy channel, we’re diving into the absolute chaos of adulting, career pivots, and the high-stakes world of speed dating.
From Adam’s quest to upgrade from a warehouse worker to a big van driver (bigger is better, right?) to the team breaking down the dos and don'ts of dating in your 40s, nothing is off-limits. We’re talking about everything from the "perfect" first date at an affordable Italian spot to the controversial benefits of dating older women.
Plus, we get into some heavy world news, the "war on sexuality," and why a Greek shipping tycoon might be the ultimate gambler. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to sit in on a conversation that jumps from comic book investments to the geopolitical landscape of the Middle East—all while trying to figure out if you should grow a goatee—this is the episode for you.
In this episode:
The Big Van Dream: Adam’s medical exam and his future as a shuttle bus driver.
Speed Dating 101: We roleplay a 5-minute date. Does Adam have the "edge"?
Dating Standards: Blonde vs. Redheads, intelligence vs. "robustness," and the 10-year age gap rule.
Financial Fails: Dealing with debts, the trap of sugar mamas, and why you should never go into business with the wrong people.
Global Chaos: Updates on the Iran-USA tension, the "Straight of Hormuz" blockade, and the decline of the empire.
Food Debates: Is Haitian food better than Jamaican? Oxtail vs. Curry Goat.

We asked for the greatest minds of our time to start a podcast. They refused. So we settled for the complete opposite.
