A
I went through some of your tweets. These were interesting. You ate a tuna sandwich at a donut shop. That sounds gross.
B
It's the best tuna sandwich ever.
A
What?
B
It's so good. The corner donut shop, Birmingham High School in the Valley, they make the best tuna sandwich. I was like, give me the tuna sandwich. They're like, okay. They're known for it. I swear, it's like a thing.
A
No one here has had one.
B
Cause you guys aren't real Valley Los Angeles people. It's fine.
A
All right, guys, we got Alexis Afshar here today.
B
What's up?
A
Going through a lot right now. Your YouTube got deleted. What's going on?
B
Now every single YouTube video of mine is off the Internet.
A
And you had tens of millions of views, right?
B
So many millions and millions of views.
A
Damn. So what? Exactly.
B
I went to go, like, look, and, like, be like, oh, look at my video. And I'm like, I can't find my video. Where is it searched? Search the Internet. It's nowhere to be found.
A
How do you think they got in?
B
This is where things get complicated. Because I had people working on it on my YouTube shorts and stuff like that. And I think when we transferred over to them in between, something happened and it got hacked.
A
Damn.
B
There's no way. I. I can't get it back yet.
A
No, you'll get it back.
B
We're working. We're working it.
A
Is your Tik Tok still up or you banned there?
B
Tik Tok. I'm on my. I'm on my fifth TikTok. We're getting up to 6K followers.
A
Let's go.
B
Let's go. You know what? I really like going live on Tik Tok.
A
Why?
B
You just. I don't know. People get to know you like, more like they're getting to know me and they're crossing over to Instagram, and I can see, like, it's just a crossover. I don't know. I'm getting more of a fan base, a following from, like, me as a person. Not, like, the twerking or, like, something that they found on Instagram, you know, I feel that. So it's pretty cool.
A
Why'd you get banned on other accounts?
B
It was very random stuff. Like, it didn't even make sense to me.
A
Twerking, you know?
B
No, actually, that's, like, the last thing I get banned for. One time. You're not allowed to tick tock in the car. I didn't know that.
A
Oh, really?
B
Yeah. You can't even be in the back of an Uber And. And live stream.
A
Oh, wow.
B
Like live streaming at least. Yeah, definitely live stream. Like rules that they don't tell you until you're. You get strikes or whatever.
A
I would have never known that.
B
Yeah. Don't go on an Uber live streaming. So something must have happened.
A
Someone must have.
B
It's weird, right?
A
Got in an accident or something and then sued Tik Tok.
B
Yeah.
A
Damn, that's wild.
B
But, yeah, these social medias have been really rough recently. A lot of engagements gone down for me and a lot of my friends as well. I've realized talking to other people. I started doing more ads, like putting spending money. I'm like, do they just want you to spend some money? Because I don't normally do that unless I got a single or like a record. Then I'll start putting money in it. But I'm not, you know.
A
Yeah.
B
And I'm like, I wonder if this will, like, kickstart it a little. So we're trying. And seeing the engagement's gone up, obviously it has to go up, but we're seeing what. What the vibes are.
A
Well, we're at the point now where you kind of have to. Because they throttle your reach so much.
B
What?
A
Like Instagram will only show your post to like 2% of your followers.
B
Even Facebook. I posted something on Facebook. I have almost 3 million followers. It said that 40 people saw my post.
A
Wow.
B
That is absurd. 30. 40 people out of 3 million is. Something's wrong. Like, that's not normal.
A
Maybe you're shadow banned or something too.
B
Yeah, I'm the shadow band queen. I am the shadow band queen.
A
Have you been posting a lot of politics?
B
You know, I try not to. It just really gets me every day, though. Like, I like fucking battle. Do I do it or not? Because I know that there's a possibility that it will get flagged. The last time I posted Donald Trump with his hand going up. Just a picture of it, like a painting or whatever, it said false advertisement.
A
Wow.
B
Oh. Completely put a ban on my account for I don't know how long I'm in. I think till like April next year. I'm in some sort of band thing.
A
That long?
B
Yeah.
A
Yeah. When I posted.
B
Not play.
A
When I posted even Trump Jr. Not even Trump. I got shot a band. Like, my views are down 80%.
B
This is bad. And we talked about this on the last time I was here. This is the second time now. The last time we talked about how it was bad, and now it's getting worse.
A
It's scary because. Yeah, it's Affecting our livelihood, honestly, you.
B
Know, what do we do, y'all?
A
I miss the days of. I missed the days of getting solutions. Yeah. For real.
B
Just millions of freedom of speech. Twitter's. Which. Twitter's still cool, though, you know, we can say what we want on Twitter, kind of. It's not as bad as bad. They still have community notes or whatever, which I think are absolute bull still.
A
But you don't. You don't agree with those.
B
No, a lot of them are still false. It's just, like, why put. I don't know.
A
Yeah. I wonder how they determine.
B
I don't know. It's called community notes or whatever.
A
I know you're talking about. Certain tweets have them on there.
B
Like, this is the real thing. You don't know. Like, who's even saying it. Like, fact checked. Who? Who fact checked this.
A
You just went on Fousey's live stream.
B
Yeah. Like, oh, yeah, Fousey. He confessed his love to me.
A
How'd it make you feel? Because you've known him for a while, right?
B
I've known him for a long time, and we've. I've dated his best friend. I said, look, we're friends. Like, we could be friends. We're cool. That's about it.
A
Damn. So you put him in the.
B
I don't know how he saw, like, a switch or when or whatever, but, no, it's not gonna happen.
A
It's tough for guys and girls to be friends.
B
I think I asked him if he had any friends that, like, were girls, like, in that space. He's like, no, not like. That he hadn't messed with. He's like. I'm like, you guys can't have girlfriends, like, at all that you guys haven't messed with. That kind of blows my mind.
A
I can't, you know, just being honest, I can't.
B
Damn.
A
I've made girls.
B
I understand there's a chemistry, a sexual tension thing. I get that. But I also have friends that, like, I've been friends with for so long, and. I don't know, I think, yeah, maybe you have to put up a boundary and just really not think about crossing that line, and it just naturally doesn't happen.
A
I've made a few girls on the show called her best friend that are guys and ask them if they want to hook up. What do you think they said? I've done it a few times now.
B
See? Yeah. No, no, no, no. They. A thousand percent will. That's what I'm saying. There's no doubt about it. The thing is, is you got to just put the boundary there and not. You know what, that really upsets me though, because, like, I have like two or three solid homie friends. It's just like my friends. And if you call them out, them wanting to bang me at all. No, you are my friend. I need you there as my friend.
A
But do they know they're in the friend zone or.
B
Yeah, they know you don't. I mean, if you're friends that long, I don't think you have to like, say something. I think obviously Fousey could have gotten the hint.
A
Yeah.
B
It hasn't happened yet. After how many years? What makes you think suddenly there's going to be like a switch?
A
Some people be waiting, man.
B
You know, the long game.
A
The long game, that's way too long.
B
Give up, honey.
A
They wait till you're fresh out of relationship and your feels, you know, Fresh out and vulnerable. Dating's calling.
B
These men are fucking vulnerable.
A
Yeah. I mean, out here they are heard people in general, Louisiana's tough.
B
Listen, date. I'm not gonna lie. Dating is really rough. And if you know me, you know this. Come on. My music is all about me crying about it. But like, I started kind of talking to somebody recently, okay. And Fousey got upset because I told him, like, he's like, well, why would you go out and hang out with me if you like somebody? I'm like, bro, we're hanging out like his friends. That's it. Like, this is what it was. Anyways, this guy is a. He was a fan of mine. And I've never in my life ever, ever, ever dated like a fan. So this is a very new, different situation, like situation for me scenario.
A
That is interesting. Yeah.
B
I don't know if we met in.
A
Person too, and he told you he was a fan?
B
Yeah, absolutely. Off the back, like, very clear.
A
And that didn't turn you off?
B
At first I was like, yeah, for a second. But the chemistry was.
A
You saw past it.
B
Yeah. Yeah.
A
Interesting.
B
And it's. It's really new. So, I don't know.
A
We'll see how it goes. Shout out to this.
B
I've dated the industry and it's rough, you know, to date people in the industry. But then I also see that there's going to be some challenges that might face because he's not in the industry. So if you don't understand certain things, I get that. So there's gonna be a struggle. Probably.
A
I think a lot of guys are probably intimidated to date you because of.
B
All the success and people automatically think I'm a cheater. I think.
A
Really?
B
I've realized that recently.
A
Huh.
B
Why do you think they don't like that at all?
A
I mean, why would they assume that?
B
Because I just know everybody and I'm like. They think because I know these, like, celebrity guys and blah, blah, blah, like, I'm just gonna cheat. Go for somebody better, different. I don't know. That's not fair, though. That's really fucked up.
A
Yeah, I guess it's more common in the celebrity culture to cheat, so they just assume. Right.
B
I would more so think the guy, though.
A
The guy. Oh, we talked about this last episode. You said, guys, 85%. I said, yeah, that's way too high.
B
Hell, no, it ain't. 85% of the guys in the industry cheat, period.
A
Okay? In your industry. Yeah, but you said 85 in guys.
B
I did say guys, but then I did change it. I changed it. I said industry, Okay.
A
I still think women cheat more overall.
B
That's crazy.
A
We'd have to see some data on it.
B
But that is really crazy. I mean, I don't believe that at all.
A
Really.
B
I don't know. Can we get a round of hands around?
A
Yeah, we got some guys watching this right now.
B
Give me a percent.
A
All right. Out of the three guys watching this, have you guys been cheated on? Yes. One yes, one no. So two yes and one no.
B
Name a guy that hasn't cheated. Do you have a friend that has never cheated? A boyfriend? A guy friend? Yeah.
A
Shout out to Elon.
B
Elon Musk?
A
No, Elon Musk, definitely.
B
He's cheating with robots and, I don't know, everything in between.
A
Yeah, he's probably.
B
Shout out to Elon. That's a good guy for not cheating. I don't know, I just. I feel like I haven't ran into many guys that haven't done that. I'm not a cheater myself. You've cheated myself?
A
Come on.
B
No, no, no, no. I would say that I've gotten a little too close to somebody, but I've never cheated. No.
A
You've never cheated?
B
No, I'm not a cheater. I'm a loyal girl. Love, love, love.
A
So what's your definition of cheating, then?
B
Like emotionally cheating? Like if you're texting a girl every day or something like that. That's crazy.
A
So that's cheating you?
B
Yeah.
A
And you've never done that?
B
No.
A
Wow. Yeah. Some people have different definitions. Some people just physically.
B
That's crazy. Guys think that it's just physical.
A
Most guys would. Yeah, I think that way they could.
B
Be texting a every day. Good morning, good night. Like you cheaters.
A
I feel that, though.
B
I always say that, like, guys texting guys. You shouldn't. I'm giving this advice to the girls that follow me. Like, don't fall for the text messaging. Because guys are like the President of the United States. And text message, like they will. They could be anything in text message. You know what I mean? And they will tell you whatever you need to know. So, honey, get him on FaceTime. You like FaceTiming?
A
I'm not a FaceTimer. No.
B
You text your girl?
A
Yeah.
B
What about phone calls?
A
We do calls, too.
B
Yeah.
A
I'm not a facetimer, though.
B
Why?
A
I don't know. I don't like looking at myself, you.
B
Know, I don't like looking at myself.
A
Like, even zoom calls on Zoom calls because I do a lot of, like, business calls. I turn off the camera, you know, I don't know, it might be some insecurity from.
B
Well, you're cute and we all work on the self confidence.
A
I got bullied. I was thinking about this. This girl told me I was ugly in fifth grade.
B
That stuck with you forever.
A
Low key. Yeah, because we used to. Oovoo. Did you have Oovoo?
B
Wait, why does that sound so familiar?
A
It was like before Zoom, before Skype.
B
Okay.
A
But yeah, as soon as I turned the camera on, she said, you're ugly. And then. Yeah, that fucked me up.
B
Nah, screw that. How dare you. We talked about this. Bullies. You can go to hell. Go to hell.
A
We both got bullied and we're both got bullied. We're all right now. I think it helped me in the long run.
B
You guys thought I was a bully. I go, I got bullied. The background was like, we thought you were the bully.
A
I thought you were.
B
Hell no. This badass personality is because I got bullied.
A
That's what I'm saying.
B
Fuck with me.
A
Helped us in the long run. At the time, it sucked for sure.
B
Yeah. Don't be mean. Y'all. Don't be mean. There's a lot of bullies online.
A
Have you been partying lately? Going to Diddy's house?
B
Oh, my God.
A
You've been to a Diddy party. I know you have.
B
You know what? I've been to Diddy's house twice.
A
For parties or just.
B
I've known their sons for, like, a long time.
A
Wow.
B
Since they were younger. Just in the scene and music stuff. So I've been over their house, just hanging once. That was fine. That was normal, casual. He wasn't around? No. And then there was a party in Miami a couple years back I went to, but everything seemed normal and fine, you know, it wasn't like a crazy experience. The crazy experience that I did have, though, is I saw, like, an ex boyfriend of mine and I completely freaked out that he was there and I ran across the room. You know when your heart just sinks to your fucking chest, like, it just drops to your floor? I had that feeling, so I had to, like, go across the room.
A
Oh, okay.
B
I was wondering why he was there, though. I didn't know that he was familiar with the people there.
A
So that was the craziest thing at a Diddy party that happened to you?
B
Yeah, they wouldn't let me in the house because I guess I'm not their type.
A
Oh, okay. Did you have to sign anything to go in to the party?
B
God, there's so many different parties that you can't bring your phone and sign. I don't remember signing anything, though. Probably. I don't remember. I remember.
A
But you've been to parties where you can't bring your phone in.
B
Yeah, definitely. Yeah. Yeah. That's weird. Stupid.
A
Yeah.
B
Nothing crazy. Crazy, you know, goes down, but just some celebrities, they don't want. Usually the rapper boys, they don't want things going down. No one.
A
How do you feel about rappers? You've dated some rappers, right?
B
I don't go for the rappers. I did date one rapper. He was the one that was at the party.
A
Oh, okay.
B
Lord. And no, I don't date rappers because I know the lifestyle they live, and there's no way I'm living that type of lifestyle. I tend to go for the other ones, the athletes. The other bad ones.
A
Well, athletes are pretty wild too, right?
B
They're all. They're all bad. Hence why I'm dating a very normal, good fan of mine.
A
What's his. What's his occupation? Does he have a job?
B
Yeah, thankfully he has a job, honey. He does construction.
A
Oh.
B
And he likes to play soccer. So he teaches, like, kids to play soccer. Wow.
A
You're taking a whole different approach, little family man over there.
B
Yeah, Daddy.
A
I think that's too normal for you, though.
B
No, I like it. I'm a very normal girl, too.
A
Come on now.
B
I have two different sides to me, honestly. Yeah, I'd like to be on the farm, too.
A
You do?
B
Oh, yeah.
A
Okay.
B
I'm a. I'm a little tomboy at heart, but, like, you know, I like the girly things, but I like a normal guy. I need a normal guy to Ground me. I mean, what else? What other option? Honestly? I'm not gonna have some crazy, like, industry guy. I feel that too much.
A
Yeah. Because you're traveling a lot. You're a nomad right now, right?
B
Yeah, Honestly. Yeah. This year is gonna be traveling for me.
A
And what made you decide to pack up from Miami?
B
I'm not married. I don't have children. I'm spending too much in rent. I live bicoastal right now. LA and Miami. I'm like, let me just pack up both. And I want to see the world. I want to go and, like, dive into, like, Japan for a month and a half and then Thailand and Bali and then I want to go to Switzerland and, you know, different places like that.
A
Okay.
B
Get into the culture.
A
I feel that.
B
But who knows what's going to happen after this election. Lord, I hope we're all safe and well and able to do these things, you know?
A
Yeah. I'm starting to think of some backup passports to potentially get.
B
I need to get married to somebody that has another passport.
A
Like a visa somewhere else wouldn't be a bad idea.
B
Italy.
A
Italy, France.
B
I feel like these are more of the safe places now. I don't know.
A
Well, no, France just banned Telegram CEO or something. Arrested him. Did you see that?
B
Oh, is he still locked up?
A
Yeah. Or he might have bailed out, but it's looking weird over there.
B
I have a bone to pick with Telegram to.
A
Really?
B
Oh, yeah.
A
What they do to you.
B
I mean, there's like, Telegram groups of, like 3,000 people selling my content.
A
What?
B
Yeah. It's crazy. It's bad. It's terrible.
A
So they get your content and they sell it for cheaper than what you sell it for? Basically, yeah. Wow. I didn't know that.
B
3,000 more people on this group.
A
Holy crap.
B
I can't get in.
A
I'm like, oh, they banned you?
B
Yeah, Like, I can't get in.
A
No, no.
B
I tried different ways. I don't even know how they're in this group, honestly. It's like fucking crypt. Cryptid code to get in this group.
A
Oh, they must have went through your.
B
I feel like they DM people, you know, and they're like, do you want this content? Like, they're probably hit up all my fans on my pages. I don't know. They put in work, honey. Like, work.
A
Wow. Must be some guys in India.
B
Telegram. I mean, what are you gonna do? You can't do anything about it.
A
Yeah.
B
That's really bad.
A
Yeah. I've never heard of someone getting banned on there. So you probably can't report them or anything.
B
I can't do anything.
A
Wow. Does that happen to all the creators of creators?
B
Oh, I'm sure now, yeah. There's a couple of girls that are in the group. Like they'll pair us with a couple different girls, so it fucks with our money.
A
Damn. Are you still pretty active on of.
B
Yeah, very active. On Only Fans? Yeah.
A
Nice.
B
I'm actually creating. I created a label, Lex Luthor Records, to service girls like me that have only fans, that have budgets. They come over to me and I can help guide them from top to bottom. Like, maybe they want to learn how to dj. They want to be a DJ or they want to be an artist. Like, I'll actually develop them and turn them into what they kind of want and create their projects and then release and market them.
A
Wow.
B
Because a lot of girls aren't like, they won't work with a lot of girls like us that are edgier or on only fans and stuff like that. A lot of doors are closed. And so I've been in the industry for so long, I mean, over 15 years now, the music industry. So I know a lot of people in ways and around things, you know. So I kind of want to build out like a community for us. Then it's a safe way and easier path. So I can just be like, don't do this. Don't like. Because I've been through it, you know?
A
Yeah. We talked about this last episode, how you were kind of blackballed by.
B
Right. There are certain places it is just like.
A
But you probably wouldn't get invited to Rolling Loud, right?
B
Yeah. Rolling Loud. Jesus.
A
Because they're too corporate now.
B
That too. And I've. I've messaged them, I've talked to them. Geez. I've tried to perform there multiple times. For some reason, they just won't. I don't know.
A
Well, they're too corporate because they got bought out by someone big.
B
Someone just offered like, oh, pay $15,000 to be enrolling Loud. I said, go fuck yourself.
A
You have to pay them.
B
I think now you have to pay.
A
Wow.
B
Some people. Are they. I just got offered this, but not by them, but by somebody else that was like, hey, I have this opportunity. And I was like, I've never heard of that before.
A
Yeah, it could be a middleman. Could be.
B
Yeah. It could be a scam too. Yeah. You never know. I don't know.
A
That's rough.
B
But who knows? I mean, yeah, people buy on tours and things like this is normal in the industry. Also, you know, but the struggle with the of girls is like, you know, radios, like teams won't play your songs because you have an of like, I've dealt with a lot of the El Arabia situation. I'm taking me off of the COVID Things like this, it's like, wow. We still have to deal with this. But it's okay for like, girls, like, huge that are like, with labels, they can have an only fans and not. No one says anything about it. It's totally fine. But someone like us independent artist, we can't get a label because we have an only fans.
A
Yeah.
B
It's like absurd.
A
Yeah. That sucks. Damn.
B
But you're still pushing, honey. We all we do is open doors and make our own path.
A
Yeah. You just performed that Fashion Week. You're still getting some gigs, right?
B
Yeah, of course. Yeah, yeah.
A
That's cool.
B
It's going really great right now. New York is a vibe.
A
Yeah. You might move there, right?
B
Yeah. Yep, yep, yep. It's a vibe. Music is just. It's a good music hub. It's active. People are working. I feel like people are working in the streets. People here work in their homes. They're so boring. Everyone in Los Angeles is so fucking boring. Where is everybody?
A
Good question.
B
They're just in their homes. Like on the computer.
A
Yeah. The streamers these days.
B
Boring.
A
Yeah. I feel like the celebrities these days are just like streamers and like people on their phone.
B
Streamers are not. They're bad in their own way, let me tell you. Really bad. Because it's just so exhausting. But, like, at least they're doing something. They're out there being fun and doing things.
A
Yeah.
B
People are just kind of like not doing things, I think.
A
Technology.
B
What do you do for fun?
A
Fortnite, basketball, video games. Old movies. I don't like the new ones.
B
I just went to the movies yesterday for the first time in forever.
A
That's what I mean. I don't like Beetlejuice. Oh. How was it?
B
It was okay.
A
That's what I heard.
B
It wasn't my favorite.
A
Yeah. Which is a shame. Jenna Ortega.
B
Yeah.
A
You would have thought she could carry it.
B
It was because I picked, though, the one where you lay down and eat your food.
A
Oh. The full recline.
B
I was. Good vibe.
A
Yeah. Modern movies don't hit, though. I know you're not. You're acting a bit too, right?
B
Yeah. I want to get more heavy into it. I just did an independent film, actually.
A
Okay.
B
It's like a faith based scary movie.
A
Whoa.
B
Yeah.
A
Faith based.
B
Yeah. It's interesting.
A
That is interesting for you.
B
Yeah, especially so. It's coming. It's coming. Just wait for it. Yeah. Acting. I love acting. I just. I realized that older. The older I get, I love to act. So we'll see. I'll tap more into it. I need an agent, though.
A
You do all right. If you're watching this, guys.
B
Yeah. I need an acting agent.
A
Sign this woman. Acting's coming to Vegas.
B
What do you mean?
A
We just got Mark Wahlberg moved over. There's a studio being built.
B
Oh, my gosh. Congrats.
A
Yes. You might have to move to Vegas too.
B
No.
A
You don't like Vegas?
B
No.
A
Why?
B
You will not catch me.
A
Why? There's no way Vegas is lit.
B
What? No way. A desert. Oh, gosh. This literally the last place I would ever move to.
A
Wow.
B
Is the desert really? No ocean, no water. Like, no trees. No fucking way.
A
So you like nature?
B
Yeah. How do you survive over there?
A
Not in nature.
B
You don't like nature? You're not?
A
No, I like nature, but I have to travel so I can get my nature fix in Vegas.
B
The only thing I would like about Vegas is the fact that, like, our friends come and go. You know, we have people in and out all the time, which. That's why I liked New York and Miami. Yeah, that's fine. But no, I'll come in and out and visit once in a while.
A
Feel that. I went through some of your tweets. These were interesting.
B
Oh. Oh.
A
You ate a tuna sandwich at a donut shop? That sounds gross.
B
I know. It's the best tuna sandwich ever.
A
What?
B
It's so good. I grew up next to a donut shop since, like, little. And now I still go the corner donut shop. Birmingham High School in the Valley, they make the best tuna sandwiches. And then I randomly went to a random donut shop. I was like, I'm gonna trust this. And I went to another Valley donut shop because Valley donut shops are the best. And it fucking hit so good.
A
What?
B
I was like, give me the tuna sandwich. They're like, okay. They're known for it. I swear. It's like, a thing.
A
Oh, my gosh.
B
It's a thing.
A
I'm nauseous thinking about it.
B
No one's had one?
A
Hell, no. No one here has had one because.
B
You guys aren't real valley Los Angeles people. It's fine. Well, it is what it is.
A
We'll go there one of these days and film it. I'll try it, but expectations are not high.
B
It's like your mom. Like, if your mom Was gonna make one, and they lit, like, in the kitchen. It's very basic. It's very simple ingredient.
A
We'll give it a try.
B
It might be, like, a canned tuna.
A
I eat some weird. I ate camel.
B
It's for sure can't.
A
I ate camel yesterday.
B
Are you serious?
A
Yeah, Camel jerky.
B
And here.
A
It was on the way here because I drove here from Vegas. Some jerky store had it have those.
B
Random jerky stores on the way to, like, Vegas.
A
Yeah, they do. There was a couple, actually, I stopped at.
B
Wait, but why did you get the camel one?
A
They had camel, they had turtle. They had. They had shark.
B
They had illegal.
A
I thought it was this place.
B
Illegal.
A
I don't know. Seemed legit. Soft shelter or snapping turtle. Yeah, they ran out of that one, though. They had rabbit. They ran out of rabbit.
B
No. How did it taste?
A
Really good.
B
Like, what did you. Couldn't tell.
A
No. If I didn't tell you was camel, you would have thought it was, like, beef or.
B
I can't eat any weird meats at all. Very, very basic. I don't even eat lamb.
A
What?
B
No.
A
Lamb is good. No, no, I can't go.
B
No, no, no, no. Poor billy goat.
A
Veal.
B
No. Oh, wait. Is ve. Baby.
A
Baby cow.
B
Yeah, I eat a little beer. Barely. Barely, though.
A
So you stick to chicken?
B
Hell, yeah. But I have Crohn's disease, too, so, like, all the other meats is not.
A
Like, oh, it doesn't.
B
I can't. Yeah, I can't do all that. The extra shit. No, the turkey, the chicken, and salmon is, like, good for me.
A
You're looking a lot better. I remember the Crohn's. You talked about it last year and you were struggling with it, but majorly.
B
Yeah, no, I've healed. Shout out to Jane Don Johnson. He's an amazing doctor and healer.
A
You got him on my show.
B
Yeah. How did that go?
A
Dude, I almost cried. His story is inspirational.
B
He's changed my. My whole life. I owe him so much.
A
Yeah. Shout out to him, man. Yeah. What he overcame was, wow.
B
He's healing a lot of people. And it's just crazy because so many people have IBS and Crohn's disease, and you don't know or they don't even know. And they are dealing with crazy symptoms, and I just. I feel for them.
A
Damn.
B
So when I meet someone, I'm like, wow, let me help you. I call Dana, like, automatically.
A
I love that. That's how I feel. With Charlie.
B
Rocket was the one who introduced us.
A
Oh, yeah. So he had it too.
B
No, I called Charlie. I'm like, charlie, you have to know somebody. Like, I'm dying. He's like, oh, my God. I have the perfect person. Like, Charlie, you're a lifesaver. Obviously, he had somebody. And, yeah, that's when Dane. I called Dane crying, devastated. In the studio. I couldn't even record.
A
Oh, your voice. Was that.
B
No, my stomach. I was just, like, done for.
A
Holy crap.
B
Yeah. It takes over your whole body, Everything.
A
So what did you have to do to fix it?
B
He put me on a liquid diet for two. Two weeks. Elemental shake. An amazing shake. Anybody should try it. It gives your gut. It's already digested, so it gives your gut a chance to not do anything for two weeks. So, you know, rehabilitated or whatever you call it. And then I started doing, like, an elimination diet. Almost.
A
Nice.
B
Started adding things to the shake, and then I started eating what I was supposed to be eating.
A
There we go. So now you can eat.
B
Yeah. I mean, I fuck up, like, if I'm. But, like, I definitely eat things I am not supposed to eat. But I'll. I'll know. You know, I know if I'm messing up, and I know what to do to get myself back on track. And it's a process. It's a learning process. But the most important things is our body. And we don't even know how to handle or heal or put. What do we put in our bodies? So it's important to pay attention.
A
Yeah. I've gone on a massive health shift lately, too.
B
Why?
A
Similar to you. I just felt like crap.
B
Really? Yeah.
A
Because when you're young, you could get away with it. I feel like. Like, fast food and stuff. But for sure, you start feeling it after school.
B
Chips and.
A
Oh, I used to eat four bags of chips a day.
B
My sister's still eating Takis. I'm like, oh, I used to eat those anymore.
A
The ones from Costco. Right.
B
You got to get rid of them. You.
A
Yeah, I used to pound those.
B
I could only imagine. No way. When I have children. I'm so sorry. It's not happening.
A
Yeah. I'm not giving them chips. I used to. My lunch in high school was four bags of chips. Flaming hot Cheetos. Yeah, I got bullied for that. Funyuns sun chips.
B
Cool kid. Actually, they wanted your chips.
A
They were lowkey. Jealous?
B
You got money?
A
Nah. They sold them in the cafeteria. They were like 50 cents each back then.
B
Damn. My mom never did the chip thing.
A
What?
B
Because it was too expensive.
A
Really?
B
I feel like they were too much. Damn. We would Have. You know what? This is crazy. We asked to go, we had to go to. I don't even know what they're called anymore. What are they called?
A
Food kitchen or whatever. Soup kitchen.
B
Food.
A
Food shelter.
B
Yeah, like a food shelter. There's something different. But we used to go to those and my mom would get groceries from them. And we used to love it because, like, we knew that we would actually get all the things that we would never get because all the rich people would give us the groceries. Right. So you would have, like, things like gushers and like, you know, the over expensive things.
A
Damn.
B
And we would be, like, grateful. We would be excited to go.
A
Humble beginnings. I didn't know that about you.
B
Yeah.
A
Wow. Look at you now.
B
Some humble beginnings. Look at me now, suckas. I always give back, though. I go. I go back to Sacramento. I grew up in Sacramento, Oak Park. And yeah, I love going back during Christmas time, buying a bunch of toys and like, you know, passing them out.
A
That's cool.
B
Yeah. It melts my heart.
A
Yeah, it's. It's crazy how just like five bucks can change someone's life like that. Yeah.
B
Christmas is coming up. I'm excited. Let's see.
A
Yeah. I need to figure out how to get back in Vegas. How do you find all the kids?
B
They're just out there.
A
Yeah.
B
In the streets. When you grow up in the hood, they just, like hang out outside, you know, don't find them. Or their parents will just be coming by and then they'll go grab their parents or they'll be like, let me go get my family and go grab their family.
A
Wow.
B
And they'll go grab the toys and stuff.
A
Because a couple Christmases ago, I'll just.
B
Be out, like on the streets with like a sign.
A
Really?
B
Yeah.
A
A couple Christmases ago in Vegas, I made a bunch of sandwiches. And the thing is, though, you can't go where the homeless are in Vegas. They'll kill you.
B
Oh, it's aggressive.
A
Underground. Underground, where there's a name for it.
B
They're actually underground.
A
Yeah, they made a documentary about it. But yeah, if you're not homeless and you go in there, they'll kill you. And I just left them at the front.
B
You gotta act homeless. You gotta walk in with, like a limp or something.
A
You have to be with someone that lives here.
B
Like, I'm homeless, y'all. You gotta act all, like, dirty or like, what is it? How do they know if you're homeless or not?
A
You have to be with someone. They gotta vouch for you.
B
That's oh, it's a gang.
A
It's a system. Yeah, and there's a whole hierarchy down there, too.
B
They're like, how much money you got? Your two rich were killing you.
A
Yeah, it's different out there. It's easier out here.
B
Come on, guys, get it together. We don't need to be killing people, homeless or not. Lord, jeez. Get it together.
A
Yeah, for real.
B
No one's getting sandwiches down there if you're killing people.
A
No, I didn't see the risk to reward ratio there.
B
No, we got to find the kids. The kids are the ones that need the help.
A
Yeah, it's rough out. Kids and. And dogs have my. Have my heart. I'm big on dogs. I would have, like, 20 dogs if I could.
B
Me too, but we travel. We can't.
A
Yeah, it's tough.
B
I'd have another golden doodle. Thousand percent.
A
You got a golden doodle?
B
Oh, God. They're the best dogs ever. This dog is incred. I don't deserve him at all. Damn, he's incredible. Yeah. I can't believe it. What kind of dog do you have?
A
Golden retriever. Bernie's mountain dog.
B
Oh, so yours is amazing, I'm sure.
A
Yeah. Golden retrievers are so pure. I'll see him tonight. Love you, Milo and Otis, if you're watching this.
B
Wait, are you going back home tonight?
A
Yeah, after this.
B
Okay.
A
Taking the drive.
B
Okay. Yeah.
A
Hopefully no traffic.
B
No more beef jerky?
A
No, I'm stopping.
B
No turkey jerky.
A
I'm getting some ostrich on the way home. And elk.
B
That's crazy.
A
Yeah.
B
I'd like to know which one tastes better, though, out of all the crazy things.
A
I'll give you some alligator jerky. That one's interesting.
B
God, that has to fuck my stomach up. What the fuck? Swallowing an alligator. There's no way. My doctors would be like, you ate alligator. What do you expect?
A
Oh, man. Alexis, what is next for you? Where can people find you?
B
Oh, guys, I'm on a mission. I don't know what I'm doing, but I'm doing something. Music. Music. Music album. I have a crazy music video dropping in November. I'm really excited about it. I kind of have, like, a rebrand with new music, new name. Because I've learned that sometimes you might have to do that when you have a name that's been around for a minute or, like, the stigma that's attached to it. Something in business, I've learned. So I might do some sort of rebranding.
A
Okay.
B
Or people are like, layla, who's that? And then they find out it's me, you know, something like that.
A
Keep them thinking.
B
Yeah. So we'll see. We'll see. So I'm gonna do that. So keep an eye out for my music.
A
All right, we'll link it below.
B
Thanks for coming on my new YouTube channel that we're gonna figure out where it's at.
A
Hopefully it's back by the time this airs.
B
That's where the YouTube video will be.
A
All right, we'll link below. Thanks for watching, guys. See you next time.

The discussion delves into the broader challenges across social media platforms. Lexy reveals declining engagements, attributing part of the problem to shadow banning.

Content Theft:
A significant issue highlighted is the unauthorized sale of her content on Telegram. Lexy states, "There's like, Telegram groups of, like 3,000 people selling my content" (16:33), expressing frustration over the inability to control or report these violations.
The conversation shifts to Lexy's personal life, particularly the challenges of maintaining platonic relationships. She candidly discusses Fousey's live stream confession, asserting, "We're friends.

Industry Barriers:
She highlights the difficulties independent artists face, particularly those active on OnlyFans, which often leads to being blackballed or facing closed doors within traditional music channels: "We can't get a label because we have an OnlyFans" (19:48).
Lexy discusses her plans to embrace a nomadic lifestyle, citing financial strains from maintaining multiple residences. "This year is gonna be traveling for me" (15:25), she reveals her intention to immerse herself in different cultures across Japan, Thailand, Bali, and Switzerland.
