Lex is a returning guest from the early years of TPKP. Despite our vastly different political and ideological beliefs, every conversation I’ve had with him has proven to be highly insightful, enlightening, entertaining, and fun.Vexing Lex is an enigmatic voice, producing his own series of audio erotica and other audio content that champion his advocacy for mental health and the LGBTQ+ community. We explore a vast range of topics in our three-and-a-half-hour conversation, starting with UFC 313, being a gay man in the Philippines, erotic audio content creation and its community, and much heavier topics like abortion, the Ukraine War, Donald Trump, Putin, and Zelensky.We then delve into a few conspiracy theories, such as the Moon Landing Hoax, money laundering in the art scene, scientific data manipulation, and the deep state. We also tackle mental health problems, “body neutrality,” being a grief whisperer, and many other stories in between!Check out www.vexinglex.com to follow Lex’s work and order commissions for his art and recordings.Again, I’ll ask you to subscribe to our channel if you haven’t yet.
