Framing Adam
2026/04/24
In this episode of "The Intellectuals," the chaos levels are off the charts as George, Guido, Nick, and Adam dive into some of their wildest stories yet. We start with Adam's recent $90 gambling win (or loss, depending on who you ask) and quickly move into the "AI controversy" surrounding some very suspicious photos of Adam at the casino.
The gang also debates the future of the show, brainstorming names like "Retard Nation" and "The Chronicles of Ridicule." Nick shares some intense footage of himself handling a unruly customer at his bar, and we call up Poseidon to get his take on whether there are too many people on the mics.
Topics covered:
Adam’s "AI" Scandal: Is that really him making out with a gentleman at the casino?
The Bouncer Life: Nick shares stories of stabbings, excessive force, and Portuguese barflies.
Top 5 & A Half Drinks: From Macallan 12 to the mysterious "Dirty Shirley."
Just For Laughs: The crew discusses the upcoming JFL lineup and Adam’s plan to ask Russell Peters for $20,000.
The Odd Couple: Why Adam and Guido are the perfect pair for a Patreon stage reading.

Sleepy Adam
2026/04/20
In this episode of "The Intellectuals," things get a bit chaotic as Adam goes MIA on "assignment" (aka he fell asleep). Mano and Big Sexy Nick hold down the fort at Pantelis Comedy, diving into everything from the wild fireworks of a Greek Easter in Parc-Ex to the legendary story of how bikers ended Nick's high school bullying.
We also call up Adam to grill him on his recent gambling wins and his "treachery" for missing the recording. Plus, a deep dive into the "Movie Show" where we discuss Sean Penn’s commitment to roles, the return of the man-perm, and why every neighborhood needs an eccentric like "Alpha" from the gas station.
Topics covered:
The illegal fireworks of Park Extension.
Why Adam is the "magnet for attention."
The return of the Movie Show: Discussing "I Am Sam" and "Rudy."
The legendary "Bikers at the Bus Stop" story.
Being Cretan vs. Greek and the pride of Crete.

Phone-A-Friend with Adam
2026/04/10
In this episode of The Intellectuals, things get a little chaotic as the crew navigates technical difficulties, "Mexico withdrawals," and some questionable celebrity encounters. Join the guys as they discuss the legendary George St-Pierre (GSP) sitting in the studio, Adam's "mental instability," and the strange world of speed dating.
The conversation takes a political turn as they dive into the state of the country and the evolution of political parties. Plus, don't miss the "Top 5 and a Half Search Engines" list, featuring classics like AOL and Ask Jeeves. We also catch up with Poseidon and Samson via some very high-stakes (and high-volume) phone calls involving $22.76. It’s a mix of comedy, deep dives into 90s nostalgia, and pure absurdity.

Adam's Life Of Intrigue
2026/04/02
In this episode of The Intellectuals, the crew—Guido, Nick "Big Sexy," and Adam—dives deep into the chaotic and often confusing world of Adam's life.
From his mysterious "gift-retrieval" mission that resulted in a $90 loss (for a free pillow?) to his questionable gambling "principles" and run-ins with international travel laws, nothing is off-limits. We also discuss the "Manosphere" documentary, the science of the thymus gland, and why Adam thinks he can outsmart US Border Patrol with a letter from his employer.
It's a rollercoaster of justifications, deflections, and hilarious stories that only Adam could deliver. Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell for more comedy and podcast highlights!

Gambling, A Bigger Van & Dating Older Women
2026/03/27
Welcome back to another episode of The Intellectuals! Today on the Pantelis Comedy network, 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.

A Murder of Clowns
2026/03/20
The Intellectuals are back! Guido Grasso and George Assily get into a chaotic deep dive into the vault of "Totally Tasteless Jokes" from the 1980s. From the heights of 80s bestseller lists to the absolute bottom of offensive humor, we’re reading the jokes that would get everyone canceled today.
We also talk about Adam’s mysterious "date," George’s wild stories from the Ottawa comedy scene, and Guido's' run-ins with sketchy talent agents. Plus, we debate the best (and worst) of Montreal, why sugar shack season is the best time of year, and why you should never trust a clown.

Adam's Broken But Whole
2026/03/13
The Intellectuals are back for another round of comedy, questionable stories, and life advice nobody asked for.
In this episode, Adam’s suspicious triple bathroom break before the recording, and why George is currently "on assignment" in Ottawa. We also dive into some wild '90s wrestling facts involving Vince McMahon, Hulk Hogan, and the Hell’s Angels at Madison Square Garden.
Plus, we talk about the dangers of 17,000-calorie cookie challenges, the extinction of fireflies, and the time Adam allegedly spent business time in the back of a car with a "stashed" weapon. It’s a mess, but it’s our mess.

Brain Rot, Movie Debates & Grocery Store Chaos
2026/03/06
Welcome back to another chaotic and hilarious episode of the Intellectuals! This week, the crew dives deep into the modern phenomenon of "brain rot" and tries to decipher the latest slang.
Things get heated as the guys rank their Top 5 movies and books—with mixed results (and some questionable memory). You won't want to miss Nick’s legendary impressions, ranging from a Jamaican Godfather to a "Native guy outside Hurley's," or the wild story of George’s confrontation with a "pistachio-selling" shopper at Maxi.
We also get an update on Adam’s spring break activities (or lack thereof), a discussion on the future of AI in music, and some truly bizarre conspiracy theories.

Wild travel mishaps involving trains in the Czech Republic and stolen rental cars in Arizona.
Deep dives into current events, from Mexico’s cartel situation to the latest in celebrity news.

Bad Boys of Beirut
2026/01/30
The boys are back from their international travels, and they brought all the heat! Guido sits down with the legendary George Assily(fresh off a wild, and somewhat violent, trip to Lebanon and London) and Fabrizio (who was hanging with the real royalty at the Ferrari F1 car launch in Italy).
This is a firestorm of travel stories and comedy as George recounts his adventures in Beirut—from meeting his dad for the first time in years to navigating the local economy (where $1 USD is a million Lira!), the amazing food, and, yes, getting choked by an Uber driver over a $20 dispute. Meanwhile, Fabrizio breaks down the high-life of a Scuderia Ferrari club president, a behind-the-scenes look at the new F1 season launch in Maranello, and the cardinal sin of eating pasta on a flat plate. You’ll also get George’s hot take on British comedians and the infamous St. Leonard Dictionary.
