Pour Minds Podcast

This week, Lex P. and Drea Nicole sit down with the beautiful, soulful, and unapologetically real Ari Lennox. From getting bullied and switching schools to finding her voice through music, Ari opens up about her journey, her glow-up, and what really shifted for her when she turned 30. The conversation gets into discipline, consistency, and what it actually takes to maintain confidence on and off stage. Ari also breaks down her creative process, the inspiration behind her new album Vacancy, and why she’s no longer seeking validation from anyone but herself. Lex and Drea get into their Pour Decisions, reflecting on drinking habits, accountability, and the realities of navigating life in their 30s.  Then things get real as they dive into relationships — leaving a “good man,” trusting your intuition, and standing firm in your choices as a woman who already has her own. Grab a drink and tap in for honesty, growth, and a lot of real talk.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, Lex P and Drea Nicole are joined by Atlanta royalty — rapper, entrepreneur, husband, father, and now author, 2 Chainz — and baby… this one goes everywhere. The episode kicks off with a wild conversation about meet-and-greet culture, concert ticket prices, and whether $1,000 for a photo is crazy… or worth it. From Chris Brown’s viral poses to fans taking things way too far (yes, Dre tells her wheelchair stalker story), the crew debates what access to celebrities should really cost and where fantasy crosses the line. Then they get into the origin story. 2 Chainz breaks down the transition from “Titty Boy” to a global brand, what rebranding really takes, and how playing D1 basketball at Alabama State shaped his discipline and stage presence. He opens up about hustling as a teen, navigating the music industry with longevity, and why he’s managed to stay out of trouble while so many peers crash out. The conversation takes a deeper turn when he talks about faith, fatherhood, and his new book, The Voice in My Head Is God. He explains what that inner voice really is, how it’s guided his biggest decisions, and what happened when he ignored it — including losing millions in bad investments. From financial literacy to trusting your instincts, the gems are real. Of course, the girls couldn’t let him leave without talking strip club classics, “KO” changing lives, rap evolution, tour pressure, Beyoncé-level production expectations, and why some artists need to stop just standing on stage rapping over their own lyrics. To close it out, things get a little unhinged in the Bed segment (as always). From hygiene education to libido talk to marriage transparency, nothing is off limits. This episode is funny, insightful, and unexpectedly vulnerable. It’s about growth, discernment, discipline, and knowing when to listen to that voice in your head. Because sometimes it’s just anxiety…And sometimes? It might be God.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, Lex P and Drea Nicole are back with a solo episode and baby… it goes everywhere. The girls kick things off debating zodiac stereotypes and why the internet swears everything is “so Libra coded.” From being misjudged in the comments to side-eyeing astrology girls who claim every cool trait for their sign, Lex and Drea unpack the obsession with labels and whether signs really mean what we think they do. They also break down the viral Dr. Pepper jingle moment and the bigger conversation around going viral, corporate responsibility, and why the internet needs to learn patience. That spirals into a real talk about pandemic-era scams, PPP loans, unemployment checks, and why people are still getting locked up years later. If you ran it up in 2020… just know the clock might still be ticking. Later, the vibe lightens up as they talk about random talents that don’t pay the bills but deserve recognition—elite parallel parking skills, predicting movie plot twists, tap dancing dreams making a comeback, and being weirdly good at guessing zodiac signs. To close it out, they get into whether your man needs to match your aesthetic. From Build-A-Bear boyfriends and makeover horror stories to gym bros, nerd baes, veneers, hairlines, and preferences vs. disrespect—the conversation is funny, honest, and a little messy in the best way. If you’ve ever judged a sign, dodged a scam, upgraded a man, or thought about ordering tap shoes at 2 a.m.—this episode is for you.
