Ashley Nicole
Okay, okay. And I see, Lex, you glowing too.
Lex
You know, my passport was just sitting on the shelf just a little bit lonely. And I needed some, like, some real relaxation and recalibration time. So I dipped to Jamaica and was just on the beach. Yes, yes. Getting to eat my plantain and my peas and rice and my fried cabbage and my whole snapper. So I'm just been eating and living and relaxing, so I'm happy. I love that for y'all.
Ashley Nicole
I wasn't on nobody.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
You been a chick mom, Chick mama, chick mama.
Ashley Nicole
I've been a chicken mama. You know, chicks grow so fast.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
Like they are big already.
Ashley Nicole
They're big already. Like they. You gotta hold them with two hands now.
Lex
What a difference a week makes. That's incredible.
Ashley Nicole
Yeah. So I'm getting them a little chicken coop built. Actually, it's a big chicken coop, like.
Lex
I was gonna say. I'm sure it's gonna be lit. I can't wait to see this.
Ashley Nicole
I'm feeling the most. I'm feeling the most of my love.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
Oh, we got. We gotta come check the chicks out.
Lex
I love that.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
But speaking of chicks, let's talk about the side chicks.
Ashley Nicole
Our side chicks, not the side chicks.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
All right, y'all, let's get into the Realty in 2025.
Lex
All right, stop.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
The side chicks ain't hiding. They let it be known that they are side chicks. They keeping it real. They're posting their lavish lifestyles, hosting jet pics, Rolexes, their Chanel bags, their Hermes bag. They. They just showing, showing out. So do y'all think. But are they really, with freaking tongue, twisted. But are they really winning? Do y'all think side chicks are winning? Is it. Is it like a praise to be a side chick now?
Ashley Nicole
I mean, I think they winning at something for sure. You know what I'm saying? If you out here, I mean, hopefully if you a side chick, you one of the side chicks that's getting flew out and, you know, benefits bags and you, you know, I hope you're not the side chick that's just having to lay on your back and that's it. You know what I'm saying? So I would say, you know, if that's what you choose to do and you're getting all that, then I would say you're a winning side chick. Now, are you winning that, what, like, relationship wise, or. I don't know about that, but I feel like if you a side chick and you getting all them things, then, yeah, I think you're doing good at being a side chick.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
Kudos to you, bitch.
Lex
But you're right, stay on that level.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
But it's really winning because, you know, like, women eventually want what that want that wife status. They want the main, but maybe they don't.
Ashley Nicole
I feel like a lot of women these days don't see the value in being a main chick because they're like, why, why would I be a main chick? Why would I subject myself to being with a man who maybe I think would cheat on me? Or why would I be with a man who, I don't know, doesn't treat me as well, doesn't buy me things or whatever, you know, that those type of women, like, you know what I mean? Maybe they feel like it's a better situation to be the side piece. You know, I think nowadays, you know, being in a relationship, people just don't believe in it as much because of, you know, their past situations. And, you know, dating these days is hard, so, like, you might as well just get, you know, flew out and bags and stuff and not even have to worry about having to keep this man happy.
Lex
I look at it as temporary satisfaction. It is very much to say here, here's some money or here's a bag just to really. Yeah, just to satisfy your, your, your senses for the moment. But it's very much temporary. And it goes to show you that when you, you know, understand that you're a side chick, you also know that you're not first and you're not the main. You know, the. And, and, and I, I do know there are women who accept less, but we got to do better. You know what I mean? It's just. I wouldn't want the bare minimum. I don't want. I want the person that I'm doing.
Ashley Nicole
I think they're getting the bare minimum. I think they're getting what they want.
Lex
We're talking about materialistic stuff, though.
Ashley Nicole
I mean, to be the side, like they, they know their role. So I feel like they don't feel like they're missing out on something.
Lex
I mean, there are people who know their role for sure, but what are you getting out of it? Nothing, except for something monetary or temporary satisfaction. Nothing of value, of substance, only monetary and to me is whack behavior. And you also really, like, you know, it's just really very much putting yourself in the position of that you are not the one. And to me, you getting that energy and you putting that into just the relationship. You can't question this man. You can't, you know, and then, and then, low key, if you seeing Them out or you see him, you know he's not with you. If he's not with you, he's with the other the his wife or potential. Just his main partner who he's giving love to. But low key. I posed the question though, like do the people like if you really or with somebody in a like in a committed relationship and then the side chick is, has like that hush mentality of not coming out. Like do you all feel like it's almost like almost degrading of that woman to just be like accept the bare minimum. Like I mean I know you said ash a little bit like you know, be good at being a side chick. But I feel like I believe in karma. I believe in all these different things that you know, why are we accepting the bare minimum? So I just want to. I'm just curious so what you guys thoughts are on that, you know, of just really thinking that, you know, the guys can think this is okay. I don't know, I just, I just feel some kind of way about it.
Ashley Nicole
I don't believe in this. I just want to put that out there. I'm just trying to.
Lex
Oh for sure.
Ashley Nicole
From the perspective of you know, women who don't mind being second or aside or whatever. You know, I feel like way outside of myself.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
I feel like there's some women like Ashley said who don't want to just be tied down in a relationship because I know some women who are side chicks and they are okay with being side chicks. Do I agree with it? No, I do not. But the reasoning where they don't have to deal with the stress. They person take care of what they need to take care of. They come and go, they satisfy their needs and move on. There's no nothing more. They don't want nothing else to it. They would rather let the main person deal with all the stress and drama.
Lex
It's like so they accept a portion of a man.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
They really accept what they want and they continue on. So I don't know. I could not be no side chick.
Lex
I'm just saying like it's not my portion.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
It's no you got no, it's not my portion either. It's just nothing, nothing against those who choose to live that lifestyle, who want that lifestyle. There's nothing wrong with it because in some, some situations it's people who've been married and they feel like it's cheaper to keep her and their relationships are just, just there just because. And they have a whole nother thing going on.
Lex
I feel like men are not Going to leave their wives, though, for the side check. Like, statistically, I feel like, you know, I guess if you know that's what your portion is going to be, then like low key, you're just going to always stay second. I mean, I feel like over time there could be feelings attached. Obviously there you the hope of maybe I'm going to be with this person later on. I don't know. It's just beyond disrespectful to me. So I don't know, it's just. And I could never be number two.
Ashley Nicole
Maybe it's a thing of like, not. You're not a side chick, but you might be with a man who has just like a lot of women, you know what I mean? That counts as a side chick too, right? Because you're not a man.
Lex
I think. I think if you are, if, you know, like, if y'all have this like a little conversation and you like, hey, you know, obviously, you know, he's in a situation, he's like, yo, I am committed to this woman, you know, or whatever, she's my main. Or we live together, we got kids together, whatever he's going to come up with. I guess maybe he's given that. That the side chick, the option to be number two. And knowing that, you know, if my wife calls, you need to hush up if we're out, or I'm gonna do family things or whatever the case may be. I just feel like they know what they're doing and they know their position.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
Yeah, I think a lot of.
Ashley Nicole
I think there are like a lot of situations, situationships where people are out here, you know, with men and they know, you know, that they do things for other women, but they would say, like, that's not my man, that's not my boyfriend, and he's. He doesn't have a woman, but he's doing like those things for maybe her and somebody else. So, I mean, I don't know, I feel like it's just interesting because, you know, I feel like a lot of women these days don't care about, you know, if they're not looking for a man, like, if they're not looking for their husband, they would prefer a situationship where they get flew out, they get the bags, they get this, this and that. You know what I'm saying?
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
Temporary fix.
Ashley Nicole
They're okay with that. They're okay.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
Yeah. Sometimes it makes it okay.
Ashley Nicole
Like, okay, well, I don't got a man, but I do got this one, like, pacifies it. Yeah.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
Then you got some flat chicks that Turn into the so called main chick. And then now it's a new side chick. So it's like.
Ashley Nicole
This is.
Lex
You lose them, how you get them.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
That's so true.
Lex
But I believe, I believe in karmic energy, you know what I mean? Like, obviously the main chick, she probably don't even know what's going on. She don't know funds are leaving her household. The emotional attachments, the physical, the all these things, you know. And I feel like most men in these situations when they have a side chick, they pick the weaker women that are okay with this and just they know that they can throw some money off. I mean, to them, I feel like.
Ashley Nicole
There men in the world who marry a certain type of lady because they know they can have side chicks, you know what I'm saying? Like, I feel like rich men know how to pick a wife and sometimes the wife, you know, I think men think that like women are dumb and like, you know, we don't see like.
Lex
Their way, like naive or something to that.
Ashley Nicole
And I think some women play into it because they like, fuck it. I don't care if he has a side piece or whatever, as long as, like, my lifestyle is the life, you know, My lifestyle, You know what I'm saying? So do y'all think that intentionally will, you know, be with a man who has a lot of money knowing that he's probably gonna have side chicks?
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
I think the woman is more acceptable if the man has a lot of money. Like, they'll deal with more of it than. And know that, okay, this is what's going on. I've seen it several times.
Lex
This is a lot of community. Yeah, religious. Do you have the money, the funds? It ain't tricking if you got it.
Ashley Nicole
I guess, I don't know, Chad, I don't know.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
But if you was in that, if you was in those shoes and he got all these women, shit, the woman can have her a side piece. Suit in.
Lex
I'm sure it's not going down. I'm sure it's him.

I never had a chocolate pumpkin with raisins before. Those were raisins, right? Next time use Amazon Pharmacy. We deliver and no, those were not raisins. Amazon Pharmacy Healthcare just got less painful.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
Um, what? Tom Brady and just that y'all think Tom had him some side pieces.
Lex
What I feel like, I mean, I don't know. I don't know.
Ashley Nicole
I don't know about that.
Lex
I didn't hear. I didn't.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
No.
Lex
You said what?
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
I don't think Tom was cheating on him.
Ashley Nicole
The law was his side piece.
Lex
I mean we do not know. I don't know. I just can be a side chick. I feel some kind of way about side chicks. And just because I feel like you're doing more harm than good and it's very selfish. But then I don't fault them as much as I fought whoever's in the relationship. Especially if you hiding behind backs, you doing the dirty stuff. You know what I mean? It's just like now you're starting to put health in jeopardy. Now you're starting to put financial strain and all these things and just that that putting that energy of you know, we're sneaking around behind the main situation but we have seen where people are.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
Very much anything happen like you don't know it happened. Like more kids can come about.
Lex
Of course then what?
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
Like anything can happen.
Lex
So you just you playing with fire. So that side chick mistress type of thing. And I don't feel like, they're being elevated. So, like, I know we have fans that are of all ages. I don't think they're being elevated. I think it's just very show what I got on the gram, you know? But you can't even show him on, like, a picture or whatever. You can show the stack, or you can show the new bag that came out, but there's more to that. You know what I mean? It's just like. But that bag is not going to warm me up at night. It's not going to answer that phone call if you have an emergency, either. You know what I mean? You're just not the priority. So what's your value?
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
So have we normalized being the side chick because relationships are failing?
Lex
Oh, no, it's not normalizing it.
Ashley Nicole
I don't think it's normalizing. But like I said, it might be easier, you know, if you come coming from a relationship where you got hurt or cheated on or whatever, or it didn't work out for whatever reason, it might be easier to just decide, like, oh, well, I'm gonna mess with this man. Like, I can get what I want from him or whatever. You know, I feel like it just appeases to some women in some situations. You know what I mean?
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
I don't know.
Ashley Nicole
But I don't think it's normalized. I don't think nobody deep down inside wants to be a side chick.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
Yeah, I definitely. I just came out of a relationship, and I definitely ain't about to jump into nothing being no damn side chicken. That's not worth it.
Lex
No. I'm not even holling at you if you got a person, like, I don't even want that energy.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
Yeah.
Lex
I don't need nobody, you know, hitting me up on the side like, yo, you dealing with my man. Yeah, I don't. I don't want no smoke with that. It's not for me.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
So if a man is paying bills, flying you out and keeping it honest, is that toxic or transactional?
Lex
Say that again.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
I said, if a man is paying bills, flying you out and keeping it honest, he got a woman. Is that toxic or transactional? Both.
Lex
Yep. Both. It's very much toxic because I'm just, you know, paying for you to hush and really stay on the side, not be elevated very much, stay stagnant and very toxic because of that energy. Again, you know, let me be financially, you know, manipulating you. Low key.
Ashley Nicole
I mean, it's not toxic since he's keeping it real.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
What if he's keeping it honest and he's like, you know what? I'm married, but I'm not happy. You know, my wife does not give me sex. And I just, you know, I respect her and everything, but I just want to fulfill my needs. And this is what I'll do for you in exchange for this.
Ashley Nicole
Yes, both.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
It's both.
Lex
Yeah. My ph. Between my. Let me tell you something. For me to get some kind of disease or some kind of whatever is not worth my health.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
He's not sleeping with no one else he chose. He's gonna. You know, his wife ain't giving him the sex and he cho. He was like, okay, I'm gonna still marry another partner. A sexual partner.
Lex
Still married, still attached.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
Yeah.
Ashley Nicole
I mean, I just feel like the whole transactional thing, it appeals to a lot of women these days. Like, I feel like they would rather that situation over having nothing and over having a chance that this man is. They think they're gonna get hurt again. You know what I mean? I feel like it's not that it's normalized, it's just. It appeals to a lot of women these days because dating, the dating game is crazy out there.
Lex
It'd be very transactional and very toxic.
Ashley Nicole
I might as well. I might as well get a bag. I might as well get food out. I hope you getting food out on the ground and you getting everything. Your bills paid. All of that. Please don't be out here doing all that.
Lex
Please, like, please.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
Nothing. Not a thing.
Lex
Not for nothing.
Ashley Nicole
I'm saying it's better, but it's just like, girl, we gonna be out here doing all that.
Lex
I don't want to go.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
At least get the light bill paid.
Ashley Nicole
Something.
Lex
Light bill.
Ashley Nicole
Okay. Car note, light bill.
Lex
Rent flew down for me. The world.
Ashley Nicole
See the world.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
I ain't having it.
Lex
Nah, nah, nah, nah. I'm not risking making sure my kids go to school every morning. My health, my mental. None of that. Nope, not for me. And being married, I wasn't playing that, you know, that's not fun. Who wants to be dealing with that? And now being like dating and when you talk to people and you want to lock it in, I'm still not dealing with that. Mm. Mm. We can have very much open conversation.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
What if you dated and they wanna date other people?
Lex
Then we can break up and not be together. We can all. We can all go date other people.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
You just said you believe in dating multiple people.
Ashley Nicole
Uh huh.
Lex
I mean, no. Now if we locked in, that's different. Okay, if we. Again, and I said this too. If we had the conversation of, hey, we're being exclusive, this is what it is, then I'm down for that. But if you like, you know, let's be exclusive, but you know, I still might dibble and dabble here and there. Then you're not exclusive with me. Yeah, that's what we got to clear.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
Up too, because a lot of people, they was on our heads last week, Lex, about. They sure were dating multiple guys. But it's not dating and having sex. It's like out your options. Okay, I'm going to date with this guy. I just met this guy. I'm going to date. I'm not, I'm not intimate with them, but I have options that I can weigh out.
Lex
Yeah. Just keeping an open mind because I'm trying to figure myself out too, like, who I want to lock it down with. Because it's like really low key. Made the best man win, you know, like, because I know whoever I'm going to end up with, I'm elevating their life. So it's going to take some time. I get to. I need to know what's going on. I need to know who your people are. I need to know how you treat others. So to me, I want to know who you are. Because we can only be compatible.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
Yeah.
Lex
Because you get a representative at the first, you know, first few months, the first. Everything's fun and all this. I know what's going on.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
Telling that. Thank you. Like, what the hell. I got myself in.
Ashley Nicole
It is.
Lex
So that's dating. And if, and if somebody asked me, like, hey, are you dating other people? I would be very honest with them. I wouldn't keep it from them. But that doesn't mean I'm being intimate with everyone. I'm really just. I'm going to have a coffee, I'm going to go to dinner. Like, it's good to have conversations. And I'm not with anyone to be like thinking I'm being sneaky or think, you know, any of that kind of stuff. I'm very much grown and can very much communicate and verbalize what's going on. So if I want to ask, I will.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
See, that's the thing. And that's why I. Where I feel like relationships fail. And because we feel like we only can go out on a date, we go out on a date with one person, we feel like we have to just lock in. That's what people miss, especially these men. They misunderstood what we did. It's like, I want to weigh out my options. No, I'm not having Sex with all these guys. No, I'm not intimately involved with all these guys. I just want to weigh out my options to see if we're compatible. And if we're not, we're not. We can move on. It's nothing serious. It's okay to go. This is go on a date.
Lex
Correct.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
Get to know each other. If we're vibing, we're vibing. If not, move on. I'm going to go on another date with this person. See how it is.
Lex
That's right.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
There's nothing wrong with that. Especially when you're at an age where you know what you're looking for and you know what you want.
Lex
Correct.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
And not settling, you know, better.
Lex
You do better. You know, that's the whole point of dating. It's just like dating. Like, you want to date.
Ashley Nicole
I know. Men just can't handle it. They just can't handle, you know, women doing what men do anyway.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
So women don't do what they doing. They out here.
Ashley Nicole
But, but, but the thing is, they were really parents. If y'all wanted to, y'all could, like, y'all are grown as fuck. If y'all wanted to go out here and have sex with whoever you want to have sex with, you could. It's just like the double standard of dating and the double standard with men and women, like, you know, men just can't handle a woman doing what they do. You know what I'm saying? Like, it just.
Lex
It is what it is really verbalizing that. Just saying, hey, I'm dating other people and it's you.
Ashley Nicole
Yeah, they can't.
Lex
They don't want to be on your top of your game.
Ashley Nicole
Always double standards. I mean, if y'all wanted to go have sex with people, like, okay.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
That'S why you ain't gonna never be married. That's why you. The book.
Ashley Nicole
You absolutely could do that. So y'all even just having to, like, correct that. It's just like, y'all don't have to do all that because y'all are grown as fuck. Y'all can do what y'all want to do. Y'all can have sex with who you want to have sex with.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
They.
Ashley Nicole
Whoever you want to date. It's just they're mad because men in their egos just cannot handle it. That's point blank, period.
Lex
Right?
Ashley Nicole
All it is.

All of them.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
All of them. Damn.
Lex
I don't. I have four. I have about 14 tattoos, y'all. But the way I tell my kids is be very strategic about it, because I'm like, you're in my personal space. Or, like, you know, more on an intimate level. Then you can see them. They're all over. You know what I mean? So I don't have. I could wear a gown, and it's like, won't be like this, you know, so they're, like, hidden in different ways and they mean different things. But I'm all for timestamps, you know, I don't mind, like, but it can be. It can be like a little anchor. Cause y'all like to go, you know, fishing or something. I don't know. I mean, there's other things to do. But this is her whole fiance, so I think it's cute. Whatever. She's into tats. I mean, she probably got her other ex husband on there, too, you know, or maybe crossed off or whatever. I mean, who knows? That might be her thing, but, you know.

At it and then he back out.
Ashley Nicole
Like, don't like it, you know? Like, why you do that, you know?
Lex
Well, I mean, I understand what you're saying, because I'm thinking, like, think about the ladies who are getting the faces tattooed on their face, like a whole portrait.
Ashley Nicole
Yeah, no, that's a bit much. I don't think that's smart. That's just done, period. I don't care. Eternity bitch.

Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
I used to have Pearson. If you started dating a guy, he had his ex tattooed on him. What are you doing?
Ashley Nicole
I mean, if it's getting serious, especially if he has, like, a lot of other tasks, I was like, it's time to go get that covered up.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
Like, why.
Ashley Nicole
Why wouldn't you want to go get it covered up?
Lex
I don't think. I don't know. Again, I feel like it's a timestamp. So if that was somebody that you were rocking with, then, like, I don't think it'd bother me.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
It ain't bother me.
Lex
Go ahead.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
Had a feeling.
Lex
It just depends on maybe where it is.
Ashley Nicole
I don't want to see it.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
If we.
Ashley Nicole
Especially if we getting married. And this is the only body I'm finna see for the rest of my life.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
Oh, yeah. Trying to get that. If we get married, baby, I don't.
Ashley Nicole
Need to see that every time. I don't want to see. No.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
You about to start doing some foreplay, and you run into. You bump into the name.
Ashley Nicole
Yeah, no, I was gonna say I'm wondering where.
Amy Brown
Where.
Lex
And now it depends on where it is. Like, if it's right above, like, you know, certain areas, and it's like the name. Is this talking about hers or something?
Ashley Nicole
You know, this is my one body. I could eat and do whatever, too, for the rest of my life. Cover it up. Cover it up now. Burn it off. Something. Cut it off.
Lex
You make a good point.
Ashley Nicole
Agree.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
A lot of arguments have started because of previous tattoos, like, getting into new relationships.
Lex
Really?
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
Yeah. A lot of people can't accept that having old. Old names, you know, exes. Names on them. A lot of people can't.
Ashley Nicole
I mean, I. I mean, I feel like, you know, if it's like, a previous marriage or mom, like, I don't know.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
But once you're.
Ashley Nicole
I just feel like once you're in a deep, deep, long, committed relationship, at some point you should, I think, probably cover it up. Like, that's a. Out of respect.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
Yeah, that's true.
Ashley Nicole
I don't think going into a relationship, you should be, like, automatically, all right, cover that bitch name up. You know, that might be a bit too much. Yeah.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
But.
Lex
I have a tattoo on my ring finger, and I wouldn't cover it up.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
What does that tattoo?
Lex
What did it symbolize, like, when I got married? What is it, a date? It's a Roman numeral 12. Well, yeah, and it's matching.
Ashley Nicole
You know, that's your, like, marriage and like, that's a part of your life. Like, I. I get that. You know what I mean? But how would you feel, like, name, like Keisha. Keisha. You know, like, I think that's a bit much.
Lex
I don't know. I don't know. I. I mean, I think it's the name if. If I have to see it. I feel. I think. I feel some kind of way. But like, if he has a. Like even a face. I don't know if I want to see a face. That would be weird. But like, the Roman numeral, it's just a part of a time, you know, and then that's it. But I mean, it's red. Red ink. I have a lot. A few red tattoos, but it can get. It can get covered up, you know, it's asked.
Ashley Nicole
Well, do y'all think it's the right flag if somebody asks you to get their name tatted on you?
Lex
No, I don't think it's a red flag if it's bothering them that much. But that's if we locked in and if we about to. We.
Ashley Nicole
We.
Lex
We together. Together. Not just anybody.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
I'm dealing with no one to ask me to get their name tattooed on me. Like, if I wanted. Yeah.
Ashley Nicole
Like, I don't want nobody to do it.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
Don't ask me to get your name.
Ashley Nicole
That's why you want like a name tag. Like you.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
Yeah, like.
Ashley Nicole
Like you own me. Like, I don't know. That's a little. I don't like that.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
I don't that either.
Ashley Nicole
Don't ask me to do it. I want to.
Lex
It should definitely be mutually, you know, consensual. For sure.
Ashley Nicole
Yeah.
Lex
But now I feel like we go together.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
It'll make me not want to get it because. Why are you asking me to? No, let me do it. Because I want to do it.
Ashley Nicole
Exactly, I think.
Lex
Yeah, me too. I, like once. Yeah, well, I think, you know, Bami wanted to get her tat of her fiance, so here we are.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
Well, well, we got form of expression. It lasts. Because, Bambi, you don't want to be looking like your good old sister over here.
Lex
Now. I wish the right there until you can really see.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
I know you can see it, but.
Ashley Nicole
What you gonna do with yours, Shirelle? Are you keeping it?

Alexis Welsh Stoudemire

Ashley Nicole
Okay.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire

Lex
Well, at least it's an Option because.
Ashley Nicole
Nowadays you can get them removed and everything too. So yours is little.
Lex
Did you turn it into something?
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
No, I think if I did do something between covering up or removing, I probably would remove. Yeah.
Ashley Nicole
Cause you said you don't like any of your tattoos at this point.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
I don't.
Lex
That's true.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
Zero.
Lex

Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
I'm past that stage, y'all.
Ashley Nicole
What are your tattoos of but the rest of them?
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
I have a lotus flower on my. My thigh.
Ashley Nicole
I have a cover up.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
I snuck and got a tattoo when I was. When I was 16. The first tattoo was a little Playboy, a little Playboy bunny, because I want to hide it because I snuck and got it. Then when I was like, what the hell am I doing with a Playboy bunny? Like, I didn't even know the true meaning of a Playboy bunny. So they get covered up with another flower.
Ashley Nicole
Okay. You like flowers like that?
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
Yeah. Well.
Ashley Nicole
Cause I mean, you getting it that. Honestly, that's why I have never gotten a tattoo. Cause I'm like, I don't even like nothing enough like that to even get it. You know what I'm saying?
Lex
Yeah. Like flowers.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
I have my kid's name on my back. I have my zodiac sign on the taper of my neck, and I have a big tattoo on my stomach. Flowers.

Lex
Like, mine are all over. I got the kids. I got a little heart. That's my first, my latest one. I don't know my Hebrew name. They're all over the place.
Ashley Nicole
Like, I want something that means something. But that's like, you got to ask me to know what it is. Like, I don't want it to be like, like, got a flower. I need them to be like, what is that?
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
What did that mean?
Ashley Nicole
Like, it's a sport, but I ain't got nothing. I don't have anything.
Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
Like, let's see, all my stuff was young, so it's like, I did it because I was in the military. You know, everybody. It was.

Ashley Nicole
What that you want? What do you want? What's your next tattoo?
Lex
I want to get an outlet of the world. And then I want to. I think I'm going to end up doing some, like, tallies of all the countries I've been to and gonna grow that. I'm gonna do a phoenix. I got all kinds of stuff, but I'm gonna have them to where, like, if you see me standing up straight, you won't really see them. Cause, I mean, mine are all over the place.
Ashley Nicole
See, I feel like I would be a girl who would want a whole sleeve, you know what I'm saying? Like, I just don't know.

Alexis Welsh Stoudemire
No.
Lex
Was it just like, a name? Was it a signature, a symbol? I don't. Okay, well, you know, you just hope somebody's locked in all the way to where you keep it going and you. You got it. Now, did he get hers or no? Do we.
Ashley Nicole

Alexis Welsh Stoudemire

Hosted by Ashley Nicole and Alexis Welsh Stoudemire, this episode offers candid discussions, personal insights, and diverse perspectives on navigating love, loyalty, and self-expression in today's fast-paced social landscape.
The conversation kicks off with a provocative question: Are side chicks winning in today’s relationship landscape? Alexis Welsh Stoudemire introduces the topic by highlighting how side chicks today are unapologetic about their roles, often flaunting their luxurious lifestyles on social media.

(05:14)
Lex delves deeper into the transactional aspect of these relationships, emphasizing the temporary satisfaction derived from material benefits but questioning the long-term emotional impact.
Notable Quote:
Lex: "It's very much temporary satisfaction. It shows that when you understand that you're a side chick, you know you're not first. I wouldn’t want the bare minimum. I want the person that I'm doing."
(06:10)
Alexis counters by pointing out that some women choose this lifestyle to avoid the stresses of committed relationships, finding solace in the flexibility it offers.
Notable Quote:
Alexis: "They don't have to deal with the stress. They take care of what they need... they satisfy their needs and move on."
(10:08)
The hosts grapple with the ethical dimensions of being a side chick, debating whether accepting a secondary role perpetuates unhealthy relationship dynamics. Lex voices concern over self-respect and the potential for emotional harm.
Notable Quote:
Lex: "I feel like you're doing more harm than good and it's very selfish... I just want to know what your value is."
(07:45)
Ashley brings in the aspect of societal expectations, suggesting that some women opt for these roles due to disillusionment with traditional relationships.
Notable Quote:
Ashley: "Being in a relationship, people just don't believe in it as much because of their past situations... you might as well just get flown out and bags."
(06:55)
Transitioning from relationship dynamics, the discussion shifts to tattoos—specifically, tattoos as expressions of love. The hosts explore the significance of getting a partner's name inked, the permanence of tattoos, and the potential regrets associated with them.
Notable Quote:
Alexis: "Do y'all think she took things to the next level by tattooing her fiancé's name on her?"
(30:50)
Ashley shares her perspective on the emotional weight of such tattoos, emphasizing the desire for meaningful and thoughtful expressions of love.
Notable Quote:
Ashley: "As long as you do it and you're smart about it... I was like, let's go get a piercing."

Ashley and Alexis explore contemporary dating trends, including open relationships and the acceptance of multiple partners. They discuss the challenges men face in handling women's autonomy in relationships and the double standards prevalent in societal expectations.
Notable Quote:

(20:12)
Alexis elaborates on the importance of communication and setting boundaries, advocating for honesty in navigating multiple dating scenarios.

Lex: "Please don't be out here doing all that. Please, like, please."

Alexis reinforces the idea that handling past relationships and their repercussions with maturity is crucial for personal growth and future relationship success.
Notable Quote:
Alexis: "I definitely ain't about to jump into nothing being no damn side chick. That's not worth it."
(20:26)
The episode wraps up with light-hearted banter about potential future segments like speed dating, reflecting the hosts' playful dynamic and their commitment to engaging discussions on relevant social issues.
Notable Quote:
Ashley: "We’re going to do the speed dating for me. Remember? Y'all going to do a Speed dating for me."
(28:35)
Key Takeaways:
Side Chicks as Empowered or Exploited? The discussion oscillates between viewing side chicks as empowered individuals capitalizing on financial perks and critiquing the emotional and ethical compromises inherent in such roles.
