Pour Minds Podcast

This week on Pour Minds, Lex P and Drea Nicole are joined by The Chi’s very own Cortez Smith, better known as Nuck, for a wild ride of storytelling, truth-telling, and bone-hitting honesty (literally). From his real-life experiences growing up in Chicago to landing his breakout role, Cortez opens up about how he dodged the streets, dealt with rejection from Spike Lee, and why one “yes” changed his life forever. They also get into the rise of hobosexuals—fine men with nowhere to live—unpacking whether looks really get you far when you’re broke. The trio shares Poor Decisions of the Week, debates tattoo regrets (and removals), and dives deep into dating with no motion, the curse of pretty privilege, and why vibes matter more than abs. Plus: the girls sip on the “Pour & Peace Paloma,” this week’s Taylor Port-sponsored Drink of the Week, and Cortez keeps it real about paying his tab when he had no home, no job—but plenty stroke!

This week on Pour Minds, we’re sitting down with the one and only Ciara. From Grammy-winning artist to mother of four, Ciara pulled up and kept it all the way real. We got into motherhood, marriage, legacy, leveling up—and how to hold on to your peace while walking in your purpose. Lex and Drea ask the questions we all wanted to know: How do you stay soft while being a boss? What does healthy submission really look like? And is “the prayer” just a viral meme… or the real secret to love? Ciara opens up about her skincare brand OAM Skin, her rum partnership with Ten to One, and what it means to gain dual citizenship in Benin, West Africa. She also gives us the inside scoop on her upcoming album CiCi, and drops gems on building a legacy through family, faith, and business. By the end of the episode, Lex is two drinks in, Drea’s dropping gems on dating with intention, and we’re all manifesting a man who won’t let us walk down the stairs alone.   🎧 Subscribe to our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/pourminds 🛍️ SHOP POUR MINDS MERCH: https://www.pourminds.com [https://www.pourminds.com/]📩 Want to book us?

This week on Pour Minds, we’re signing a peace treaty… but don’t get it twisted. This episode is all about clapping back vs. choosing calm, and navigating this wild digital world without losing your mind (or your account). Lex and Drea are joined by the hilarious KevOnStage, and it’s a laugh-packed sit-down full of real talk about internet beef, long booties, and why confidence will always win—even when the crack’s out. We’re getting into cancel culture, content creation fatigue, and why Kev still posts even when Twitter tries to cook him. We’re breaking down internet drama, creator burnout, and how Kev keeps showing up online even when the timeline turns toxic. Lex admits she’s been on her rebrand journey, and Drea gets real about why keeping it cute sometimes takes more strength than clapping back.   and Kev keeps it all the way real about body image, filler rumors, and why he’ll never get a fake hairline (even if it rains). By the end, we’ve dragged cookies, praised dad bods, and reminded everybody: you can be petty and peaceful… just not on the same day.

This week on Pour Minds, we’re talking ambition, fake love, and why chasing success will have you smiling in rooms you lowkey can’t stand. Lex and Drea are back on the couch asking the real questions: how far are you willing to go to level up, and is it really fake… or just good business? We got into working with people you don’t like, out-hustling your coworkers, and knowing when to clap for others vs. when to move around. Lex shares how she used to snatch tables mid-shift, Drea breaks down her rules for “strategic faking,” and both of them admit they’ve been hatin’ for no reason. By the end of the episode, somebody’s manifesting a cypher verse, the tequila tastes like water, and we’re all agreeing: if you ain’t greeted that table in two minutes, it’s mine now.

This week on Pour Minds, we got the homies from Crash Dummies on the couch—and it got real. From arguing about whether men and women can really be “just friends,” to who’s actually the prize in a relationship, this one got heated. Lex and Drea were not letting up, and Pat and Mike brought that wild Midwest energy. We talked dating rules, emotional maturity, and the difference between a vibe and a red flag. By the end of the episode, somehow we’re all going to a Bucks game and bottles will be involved. Milwaukee, we might be on the way.
