Dre
Wake that ass up early in the morning.
DJ Envy
The Breakfast Club.
Charlamagne Tha God
Morning everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got some special guests in the building.
Nicole
My girls.
Charlamagne Tha God
Lex P, Andrea, Nicole, Poor Moms Podcast.
Lex P
What's up guys?
DJ Envy
We're back again.
Lex P
I know.
Nicole
How y' all feeling?
Charlamagne Tha God
Great.
Lex P
Good.
DJ Envy
Really good.
Lex P
Yeah, happy to be here.
Nicole
Happy to see y' All.
Andrea
Yes.
DJ Envy
It's been too long.
Nicole
Y' all got the new show, Travel Queens. First of all, I'm happy to see y' all just evolving. Poor Minds podcast is a hit. Poor Mind's podcast evolving Now. Y' all got the Travel Queens TV show on bet. It's a docu series. How'd that come about?
DJ Envy
Also, the production company Cocoa Butter, they actually reached out to us because they wanted us to audition for it because they had us and, like, I think some other maybe like two or three other friend groups in mind. So we auditioned for it, they loved us, and then we got it and we started filming maybe like a month after.
Lex P
Yeah, it was.
DJ Envy
And then we filmed the whole show in two weeks.
Nicole
Cocoa Butter. I know that's a black woman on production.
DJ Envy
Yeah. No, it's actually not white people.
Lex P
It's a white guy. To black Ian and Tim shout out to Ian. Smart. Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
So what is Travel Queens about? Where y' all going? What y' all doing?
Lex P
So we went to four different cities. We went to Cartagena, New Mexico City, Key West, Key west and Charleston. So it's basically really shown young black millennials, gen zers, especially women, how to travel, where to go eat, where to find other black people when you travel, and just how to be safe and have a good time. I think right now in media, I won't say right now, but I feel like a lot of stuff that we're seeing in the media with black women, it's like, who fighting, throwing drinks in people's face. So I really think it's refreshing to see two black women who are really friends just having good, innocent fun. We not talking about men and dating and gender wars and all this stuff. It's just good fun.
Nicole
But what about the ladies that are watching it? Like, well, how am I going to be able to fly myself out?
Lex P
Don't start, Uncle Baddie. We have graduated from that.
Nicole
But y' all flying y' all stuff out on this show.
DJ Envy
But actually, BET and Coco Butter flew us out. That's right.
Lex P
But I will say so a lot of the stuff, too, is like, it's budget friendly. I mean, we went to Charleston. You know what I'm saying? You can do a road trip. We went to Key west so you can drive to Key West. You know what I'm saying? You don't have to necessarily fly. It's not like we're doing extremely expensive things, to be honest. So I think if you budget, you know, it's not like we're doing luxurious things and going to The Maldives and, you know, staying at the Four Seasons. It's very budget friendly stuff.
DJ Envy
Yeah. And I think that was the point of the show. They wanted to make everybody feel like, okay, I can come here, and I don't have to spend a lot of money to have a good time.
Nicole
So if a guy was flying y' all out, y' all still want to go to those destinations?
Lex P
That.
DJ Envy
Yeah, but I probably would have did something different. I ain't going to lie.
Nicole
Charleston is beautiful, though.
Lex P
I mean, Charleston is beautiful, but I'm not getting this.
Sherra
Key west is one of them little ducked off. I remember it is taken to Key west before.
Lex P
Really?
DJ Envy
Yes.
Lex P
You have flew out.
Sherra
Yes, I was flew out by Cocoa Butter, but, you know. Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Lex P
But that.
Sherra
That usually the older gentlemen fly you out.
Lex P
Yeah, it's a very, like, quiet town. You can definitely sneak off there with a. With a old man.
DJ Envy
I had never been to Key west before. That was my first time. It was, you know, it was cool water.
Nicole
Blue.
DJ Envy
The water was blue. That's a fact.
Nicole
That's what Little. Little took you.
Dre
Took you.
Charlamagne Tha God
They gonna be confused.
Sherra
So I just told them that when the older guys perform fellatio, they don't really know the what the kingus.
Lex P
Okay.
Sherra
When they doing that, they say because they see they don't have teeth anymore, you know, they trying to figure out where it is. Especially the ones with glasses. You know, when they slip down on the nose and they say they be.
DJ Envy
Doing it with the glasses.
Lex P
I like that.
DJ Envy
I feel like it's gonna get a little foggy from the body.
Lex P
Just a little bit. I like that. I don't need me a little.
Sherra
Yes. You'll find them in Key West. Next time y' all go.
Charlamagne Tha God
So out of the four cities y' all went to, which one did you like the best and why?
DJ Envy
Mexico City.
Lex P
Yeah.
DJ Envy
Because it was just so nice. I feel like it's so many black expats that are moving there from the United States. So it's a lot of black people out there. We went to a R B night while we were out there. We went to a black vegan restaurant. It's just. It reminded me a lot of the United States. But just in Mexico City, I feel like out of everywhere that we went, that was my favorite place.
Lex P
I'm not gonna lie. I keep saying that Charleston surprised me, too. Like that I've never been to Charleston, and I have a really close friend of mine that lives out there, and he's been trying to get me to come out there. Forever. And I was like, what is in Charleston? Like, isn't that a dance? Like, I was like, I'm not going out there. Isn't that the dance? But I was so surprised. Like, people be taking the nice boats out. The food is good. I had a ball in Charleston. Like, I'm actually planning a trip to go back. Like, Charleston is beautiful.
Nicole
That's home.
Sherra
Mexico City is nice too, though.
Lex P
It is.
Sherra
A lot of people moving there. Yeah. My husband's family's from there.
DJ Envy
Really?
Lex P
Yeah, I know. That's right. Husband, period.
DJ Envy
Okay.
Nicole
Y' all both like to travel already?
DJ Envy
Yeah.
Lex P
Oh, yeah.
DJ Envy
And we already traveled together a lot anyway, so we feel like that's why it was the perfect show for us.
Charlamagne Tha God
Y' all get tired of each other at all? Like, you know what? You go your way, I'll go out my way.
DJ Envy
Absolutely.
Nicole
Wow.
Lex P
We're neighbors.
DJ Envy
We literally live in Atlanta. I live in a building right here, and her building is right here. And the unit that I used to. To live in, she could see my apartment from the pool. So she would be, like, waving at me from the pool. No, she. I did to her.
Lex P
I followed her. I did. Cause they started building a building. I said, I'm finna move right next door to my sweetie poo. See, I love that.
DJ Envy
I would love my best friend.
Charlamagne Tha God
Y' all don't get tired of, like, you know what?
Lex P
You know what's crazy? I think when we were younger and the show first started, we didn't have any direction. We didn't know what we wanted to do. We're going through growing pains, but now it's like, she's 34, I'm 35. We grown women. Yeah. We don't having anything to fight about. And honestly, I think it's so crazy when people have podcasts and they make so much money and they be arguing about.
Nicole
Right.
Lex P
You know, we have so much fun. Like, to be able to travel the world with your best friend and have a business. It's great. It's fun.
Sherra
How is it when y' all get in relationships, though?
DJ Envy
Oh, I feel like we do a really good job of still keeping the balance of our friendship and still being in a relationship. Like, we always find the time to hang with each other, to go to dinner, to talk on the phone.
Lex P
As crazy as it is, because the podcast, we do talk about dating a lot. We are really not male centered women. And a lot of people think that because we talk about dating so much on the show, but we really not like, we like to be like, last Year we went to Turks for her birthday. We wasn't inviting them. We went to Miami one year for my birthday. Like, we just go on trips by ourself. We're not like, oh, our boyfriends have to come, or if we go to dinner, it's not like, oh, bring your man. It's none of that.
DJ Envy
We have the balance for sure.
Nicole
So y' all still booed up, you know.
Sherra
You know.
Charlamagne Tha God
They watching right now, like.
Lex P
Damn, crazy.
DJ Envy
Place in a rocky place. We gonna see what happens.
Lex P
It's complicated figuring it out.
DJ Envy
Yeah. Which is crazy, right? Because I feel like it happened simultaneously, like, at the same time for both of us. We started kind of going through a transition and a breakup at the same time, so.
Lex P
But it's not like, in the bad space. No.
DJ Envy
Yeah.
Lex P
It's not like, we're cool. It's cool. We're figuring it out type situation.
Sherra
Y' all talk each other up like, girl, leave him, or, I'm gonna leave him if you leave him, or. You know what I'm saying?
DJ Envy
You know what's crazy? No. I'm really like that friend where when she calls me and she talks to me about what's going on in her relationship and stuff, I'm just always like, okay, girl, well, you know, do what you want to do. I try to be supportive of what she want to do, as long as it's not a physically violent situation or something that you need to leave that's abusive or anything like that. I try to be supportive of my friends because I. When you love somebody, you want to stay with your man. It's hard out here. Y' all all. Y' all all married. Y' all all got.
Lex P
Y' all married.
DJ Envy
I was gonna say we are not. Y' all know how. No.
Lex P
She was like. Cause y' all all men.
Nicole
I a heard that room in a long time.
Lex P
All right.
DJ Envy
I was being.
Lex P
Y' all all married.
DJ Envy
I don't know why I stood it.
Nicole
You was just in love last year, Lex.
Lex P
I still am in love. I'm very much in love. Like I said, it's just a situation. We're figuring it out.
Sherra
I don't.
Lex P
You know, but I think we' on our careers right now, and I know it sounds so cliche, but I'm just a person. He's an amazing guy. If we're meant to be together, we're going to be together. So I'm just not putting pressure on it. You know what I mean? So it's cool. We gonna figure it out.
Nicole
You know, what have y' all learned about yourselves from doing the podcast. How long y' all been doing the podcast? First of all, five years now, right?
DJ Envy
No longer than that. We started doing Poor Minds when I was like 27.
Lex P
So yeah, yeah, seven years now.
Nicole
Okay. So y' all at that. See, this is. People don't realize this is at the point, this is the time where podcasts really start to, to take off around your 750. Everybody think it's just instant success around your 750 years. So what have y' all learned about yourselves?
DJ Envy
For me, I would say transparency and vulnerability is healing. When I first started doing the show, I think that I always have kind of had more of a closed off personality. I've always been a little bit more private than le. She's always been like an open book on the show. And I never used to want to talk about things that I was going through cuz I felt like it was a sign of weakness. And I've just always had this thing where I don't want people to at me like, you know, I'm weak or whatever. So I think that now I'm in a space where I enjoy telling my story. I enjoy telling people the things that I'm going through because I feel like it can help other people get through this, through similar things or, you know, just being transparent to me is just very important at this point in my life because I don't know, I just.
Nicole
Want to be transparent.
DJ Envy
I don't want to get emotional. I don't want to get emotional a little bit. But like I lost my dad and it was something that was. Thank you. It was something that was really, really hard for me to talk about on the show. But I wish that back then I had the same mindset because I feel like I was dealing with so much by myself. And when I started talking about it on the show, it was just so many people and such an outpouring of love. People saying, I've been through the same thing. I can understand where you're coming from. So that's what I've learned over the years about myself. I think that I really enjoy now telling people what I'm going through instead of just feeling like I have to go through everything by myself about, you.
Lex P
Know, I think with me, I am such like a loud personality and I think a lot of times I would try to hide that from people and I just embrace who I am. Like I'm not the sexy girl that's doing all this. Like I'm a tomboy. I like to Be loud. Have fun. So I really got confidence about myself, because I'm like, this is who I am. I think for when I first started, like, being on social media, I was, like, doing the bikini pics and posing by the pool, and I'm like, girl, this is not so. I've really been able to embrace myself and be like, you know what? You the loud homegirl. And that's okay. Like, you don't have to fit into this box of what you think that a woman is supposed to be. Because people always love to say. Cause I know you hear this a lot. They be like, oh, funny women aren't pretty. Or you have to. Either you funny or you're pretty. You can't be both. You know what I'm saying? So I feel like I used to try to lean into being the pretty girl, and then I would try to lean to be the funny girl, and I'm like, you know what? I don't have to be in anybody's box. You know what I'm saying?
Sherra
But you always been sexy. You just don't give off sex. Like you said, like, you're just not prissy. You're just.
Lex P
Yeah. When we talked about this on the show, there's a difference between, like, having sex appeal and, like, being attractive. Like, Dre just is, like, sexy.
Sherra
Yeah.
Lex P
You know what I'm saying? She's just walking around, she's like, hey. Oh, yeah. You know, it's just. That's how she is.
Nicole
You can have both, though.
Lex P
Yeah, you can have both. You know, like, like I said, I just think, like, being sexual.
DJ Envy
Sex appeal is something that's just from the inside.
Lex P
I feel like, yes. And I just think, like, that's not a part of my personality, but that's okay. I'm not saying I'm unattractive. I'm a baddie.
DJ Envy
Uncle baddie.
Lex P
You feel me? You know what I'm saying? So I just think that I've been more comfortable, like, being in my skin and who I am. For sure.
Nicole
Growing out loud is hard.
DJ Envy
Yes, it is.
Nicole
You know, and that's what y' all been doing the last seven years on that podcast.
Lex P
Literally, like, going through everything. Like, she said we. She lost her dad. I lost my mom. Going through breakups. And then it's like, you know, we be like, oh, we in love. And then the next month, we talking about a different dude, and everybody like, oh, my God.
Sherra
You and they doing the same thing.
Lex P
Y' all doing the same.
Sherra
Just nobody watching. Tune in support.
Lex P
But nobody cares. It's about you, you know, and people not in your business. So, yeah, it's hard sometimes.
DJ Envy
Yeah.
Lex P
Going through relationships and growing pains. And I've always been honest about my financial status, too. Because I always say, when I moved to Atlanta, I had $3. Cause I 100% did. Like, I wasn't lying. So I think it's important to be transparent, especially as a black woman in this industry. I feel like we always try to hide what we making. Cause I'm like, oh, this company signed up for your ass. How much they paying you? Because this is how much they paying us. Let's make sure that they not. You know what I'm saying? So I think that with the platform that we have, it's like, yeah, we've grown in front of the camera. But like she said, being open and vulnerable has helped us a thousand percent for sure.
Nicole
So what have y' all learned about yourselves from doing the TV show?
Lex P
Honestly, I feel like everybody always asks that because they're like, oh, my gosh. How was it? It was two weeks. But I'm like, I don't know. Nothing, I guess, to be honest.
DJ Envy
Well, I mean. Cause it's crazy. Cause I thought it was gonna feel so different, but it felt so natural.
Lex P
Yeah.
DJ Envy
Like, I feel like we made for TV a little bit because it felt so natural. It kind of felt like. And maybe because we did it together and we're best friends and we already have that chemistry and the camaraderie and stuff, it just felt. Thank you.
Sherra
Got the camaraderie.
DJ Envy
So it just felt like I'm doing this show with my homegirl and the cameras just happened to be here.
Charlamagne Tha God
How many bags did y' all pack?
DJ Envy
We had two, right?
Lex P
No, we had that one. We had one big suitcase and, like, our totes and stuff.
DJ Envy
And then a carry on.
Lex P
Yeah. So what we did, though, is, though, we had the. The bags from Amazon that you vacuum. So what we did is we had each bag for each city. So I had, like, my three outfits for Columbia and my vacuum bag. Then I didn't have to open that bag no more. Then when we went to Charleston, I had my bag for Charleston, so it wasn't that bad. But I will say shout out to the producers at BT James Knox and the Cocoa Butter Family, because they really let us be ourselves. Like, they were literally like, press record, y' all. Just do y' all. And that's another thing I was worried about. I was like, how are they gonna edit this and make us look? But it's definitely given Lex P And Dre and Nicole, it's us in real life.
Sherra
How was Columbia?
Charlamagne Tha God
How was that?
Lex P
You know what?
DJ Envy
It's really fun. I had a good time. So that was my second time going to Colombia, my first time going to Cartagena, because the first Columbia, the country.
Nicole
Good cocaine out there.
DJ Envy
Now, how you know, you said that to me in my DMs. You seen I was in Columbia.
Lex P
You are crazy. That pure white. I am weak.
DJ Envy
So, yeah. But I mean, funny enough, I think that's what people think of, though, when you think of going to Colombia, you think of the cartel and stuff. Because, like, like I said, I went to Med ien a few years ago to get my teeth done, and I was scared to leave from the area where my hotel was and where my.
Charlamagne Tha God
Daughter looked that crazy.
DJ Envy
I mean, I was just nerv nervous to travel around, because that's what you hear about Colombia. So when we went to Cardina, I had a really, really good time. And then, especially with us going to Palinka, which is the first free black city in the Americas, it was just so, you know, that it's Afro Latinos in a lot of these countries. But when I say when we were in Palinka, we felt like we were somewhere in Ghana, in Nigeria. Like, these people look like our cousins, our family members. It was just amazing being there and being submerged in the culture.
Nicole
Why'd you go all the way to Columbia to get your teeth done?
DJ Envy
Because it was cheaper.
Sherra
Oh, that's right.
DJ Envy
I think here was like 30, 000. I. You know, I'm getting a little money, but I was trying to save.
Sherra
Get them done here. They just all the same size, like the extra largest. Like, nobody ever asked for the mediums.
Lex P
Or, you know, they got the front. They get front teeth for the whole.
Sherra
Row the same size.
DJ Envy
Or they get the top done and don't get the bottom done.
Sherra
And it's like, come on, they need.
Lex P
That klarna for the texture.
DJ Envy
You gotta get the texture. Like, I think that's why my teeth look so natural, because he made, like, the texture in my teeth or whatever.
Charlamagne Tha God
And how do men treat y' all when they see y' all from out outside of where y' all usually are, outside of Atlanta.
Dre
What you mean?
Lex P
What do you mean?
Charlamagne Tha God
Because Atlanta, you know, they see beautiful women, but sometimes they might not see that in Colombia.
Lex P
Like.
Nicole
Like America. DJ Envy says Columbia got ugly women. That's the headline. Envy says all women in Columbia are busted.
Lex P
You know what I feel like?
Charlamagne Tha God
Usually when you go out the country and they see American women, they treat American women differently. Cause they don't usually see American women like that.
DJ Envy
So that's what I mean.
Lex P
Honestly, I'm not gonna lie. I feel like whenever we go anywhere, I really can't tell the difference. Cause I feel like everywhere we go, we kind of draw attention. I know that sounds bad, but it's like everywhere we go, we're used to people being like, oh my God, I know y' all from the pod. Or oh my God. Or saying, hey. And then when we were in Columbia, it's a little different because we had cameras around us. So of course people are like, looking and saying, have you ever looked around.
Just Hilarious

Lex P
And being so it's kind of hard to tell the difference between, you know, people, how they treat us outside of Atlanta versus anywhere, because I feel like everywhere we go now, people kind of recognize us. So it's not really like we're getting treated differently per se, if that makes sense.
Sherra
When you said they they, you were scared of how they were gonna edit y' all and make y' all look. Were y' all allowed to be in the room during the editing process or you just like y' all trusted them and you just like the way they ended up editing the episodes?
DJ Envy
Yeah, we didn't know anything, girl. We've seen everything when everybody else seen it. We didn't know how we still watching the.
Lex P
We was on the plane last night watching the episode for the first time.
Sherra
So are y' all nervous for every episode that come up?
DJ Envy
You know what?
Lex P
Well, I'm not nervous now. I was nervous of how my body was gonna look because I just lost 30 pounds. Okay. Congratulations. Thank you. Okay, so I. When we shot, I weighed, like, 205. Okay. So I was so nervous. I kept saying, oh, my gosh, I hope. Cause I have, like, a little belly on me. So whenever I gain weight, like, people always tend to think I'm pregnant. They be like, lex pregnant. I'm like, oh, my God. Can I just have a little shot of tequila? I had a little, you know, little enchilada. So I was really more so nervous about my body after I saw the first episode. But I was like, okay. Body tea.
Nicole
How'd you lose Dirty body? A trip to Columbia. That pure coke or what was it you said?
Lex P
What? Oh, no, honestly, I used to be a girl. I used to do everything under the sun. You know, the first time I went to Columbia, it was for my bbs. So y' all talking about. Y' all know Columbia for the coke. I know Columbia for them good doctors, but I just did it natural this time. I was doing a lot of cardio, eating healthy. You know, I feel like. And I feel better now. I think I'm getting older, and I'm just all the. I'm not dissing people who do take other routes, but I just had to do it for.
Charlamagne Tha God
It wasn't the ozempic.
Lex P
It wasn't the ozempic. I don't like needles. I couldn't do that to myself. But no, no ozempic. Nozempic.
Nicole
I do wanna say, too. You talk about walking in a room. There's something different about Houston. Houston women have a presence about them that stands out a lot more than a lot of other women. I think it's the size, really. Yes.
Charlamagne Tha God
It's the what?
Lex P
The size.
Nicole
They're usually taller, tall, and thick.
Lex P
Well, I'm not originally from Houston. I'm from Orange, Texas.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay, well, you mean Texas.
Nicole
Everything's bigger in Texas.
Lex P
Yes, yes, I agree with that. I think we do have a certain aura. We kind of command the room. You know, we walk in, we're very friendly. So it's. Especially when we walk in some rooms with people, like, from New York, they not used to people speaking. We be like, hey, y' all.
DJ Envy
The Southern hospital.
Sherra
Metallic and denim accents, too. That's Houston.
DJ Envy
It's very Houston. All day, I'm H Town all day.
Nicole
How far is Orange from Houston?
DJ Envy
Two hours.
Lex P
Yeah, it's like, two hours. Yeah.
Nicole
What's something about y' all friendship that y' all think the TV show made stronger, if anything, about our.
Lex P
I think that we realize how strong we are together and how many. I feel like, how many doors that we're opening, even though I think. And I know people gonna be like, what doors you open? Honestly, podcasting, especially in the South. It's not a lot of podcasts in the south, that. Right. And the fact that there has been podcasters out there that have gotten TV shows, but it's mostly TV shows that are based on their podcast. The fact that travel Queens has nothing to do with poor minds, and we're showing our talents. Like, we have communication degrees. Like, we went to school for this. So I think a lot of times people don't take influencers or people who started on the Internet seriously, because you started on the Internet as well. So a lot of times we get so much backlash because they're like, y' all just girls who grabbed a mic and started a YouTube channel. But I think being on this show, it shows, like, no, we. We. We got some tricks up our sleeve, you know what I'm saying? So I think that it made our friendship stronger because I'm like, bro, look at what we have done. You know what I'm saying? Even from the first time when we came on Breakfast Club, I was like, oh, my gosh. Like, this is huge. You know what I'm saying? So I think it's just, like, we realize how strong we are together and how much more that we have to do.
Nicole
And don't speed past the fact y' all got communications degrees.
Lex P
Oh, yeah, I know.
DJ Envy
I think people always forget that because we never highlighted that much, but, yeah.
Lex P
Graduated from Texas Southern, and I graduated.
DJ Envy
From Stephen F. Austin.
Nicole
So what did y' all want to do when y' all was in college? I just wanted to be, like, on tv news anchors or what?
DJ Envy
You know, I didn't really know what I wanted to do, to be honest. I knew I wanted to do something in media. And then when I graduated, I had a little fake internship at 97.9a box. Shout out to Ki. He's still on the radio in Houston right now, and I had a little fake internship with him. I shadowed him for maybe, like, two months, and then I realized I didn't really like radio, so then I didn't know what I wanted to do. And so I moved to Atlanta. Of course, y' all know, Lex ended up moving out here. One of her friends, who was also already into podcasting, was like, y' all need to turn y' all YouTube channel into a podcast. And I feel like that's when I found my niche. I was like, okay, I'm supposed to be podcasting, but prior to that, I didn't know.
Lex P
I thought I was gonna do, like, hard news. I was like, I'm finna be al roka. I'm gonna be reporting everything. It's gonna rain. I'm gon. I was gonna be like, y' all don't understand. I was like, I'm gonna be on Good Morning America, bitch.
DJ Envy
It's gonna rain. It's gonna rain.
Lex P
Gonna rain. I was gonna be the meteor. I was trying to do everything, but, like, I took an internship at my school radio station, and we were just reporting on hard news every morning. It was so sad. And I was like, I cannot do this. Like, we're having to interview people who just lost their house in a fire, like, all this stuff. And I was like, okay, maybe I need to redirect. And so. So I've always been into entertainment news. Like, I grew up, you know, watching E. News. You know what I'm saying? The kids was watching Coco Melon and Rugrats. I was watching E. News. So I was like, okay, let me do something in the entertainment world. Like, that might be, you know, more my speed. So I knew I want to do something on TV and media, but I just wasn't sure. So podcasting kind of made it easy because I was applying for all the jobs in Houston, and I just couldn't get my foot in the door. So I was like, well, let me just create our own lane and do our thing.
Nicole
How'd y' all connect with 85 South?
DJ Envy
It was because of Carlos. So Carlos always followed us on Twitter, and we were cool with him on Twitter, and I think I shot my shot, and I was just like, oh, can you come record Poor Minds with us? And at this time, we weren't even recording in the studio yet. We were still recording in the living room at my house, and he pulled up on us, sat on the floor in my living room, and recorded Poor Minds with us. And then I think ever since then, he was just kind of watching us. And then he saw how the show kept growing and elevating. And then a few years later, he ended up asking us to come on 85 South. We went on 85 South. I think that episode did a million views in, like, five days or something. So we ended up the episode did, like, a million views in five days. And then he introduced us to Chad, and he was like, I think, you know, we want to sign y' all.
Nicole
Dope.
Sherra
That is so nice.
Charlamagne Tha God
I do have a question, some advice. I have a single friend.
Lex P
Oh.
Charlamagne Tha God
She has a closet full of wigs.
Nicole
Terrible wigs.
Carlos Miller
Curly.
Nicole
Make sure you say terrible wigs.
DJ Envy
Oh, you know who the friend is?
Nicole
I do. Sadly.
Charlamagne Tha God
She has a bunch of wigs. Curly one day is straight, different colors. She's. She's funny, she's smart. She switches up her wigs like. Like a Netflix series. But when it comes to dating, she doesn't seem like she can find the right guy. She doesn't know if guys get intimidated or if they're just confused. How would you suggest she meet somebody to secure a relationship? Because time is running out, and so are her wigs.
Nicole
Damn.
Lex P
But why did you include the stuff about the wig?
DJ Envy
That's what I was about to ask. What do you think?
Nicole
Cause the wigs could be a problem.
DJ Envy
You think the wig might be the reason why she can't find a man?
Nicole
I mean, think about it. Just things that I'm sure that y' all felt like y' all had to change about yourselves a little bit. And it probably means made them, you know, made the bait a little stronger for the fish.
DJ Envy
Okay, well, you know, what kind of men is she trying to date? Because, you know, they say they like bad wig. They do the white.
Lex P
They love a crunchy white.
DJ Envy
She not dating in the right.
Lex P
Don't love a crunchy, stale wig. My wigs used to be crunchy. I could not keep the Brett's off of me.
DJ Envy
They love a stiff wig.
Lex P
Oh, they do.
DJ Envy
But I will say this.
Lex P
We were actually just having this conversation.
DJ Envy
We was literally just talking about this.
Lex P
They do.
DJ Envy
They love a stiff wig.
Lex P
They have that saying, hard wig, soft life.
DJ Envy
I didn't make that up.
Lex P
Charlotte Ray, I ain't never heard you.
DJ Envy
They do say that.
Charlamagne Tha God
Maybe she should look at a white hoe.
DJ Envy
A different pool. She's in the wrong pool.
Lex P
She might be in the wrong pool. 1. But I will say we were just telling our producer this. And I was saying, like, when you get your look together and you feel confident in yourself, it doesn't even matter. Like, whatever makes you feel good, you're gonna attract the right person. I enjoy being polished. I used to have a stiff wig or two.
DJ Envy
I still got one of them.
Lex P
She does. She does.
Sherra
But for memories, I called her.
DJ Envy
I said, when she wins her first emy I'm gonna put it on ebay in August. It's gonna be a collector's item. And it still has the scrunchie on it and everything. It's in a ponytail.
Nicole
Who do you think lies more? Women with bad wigs or men with podcasts?
DJ Envy
Men with podcast.
Lex P
Podcast, hands down. Oh, my gosh.
DJ Envy
I feel like a girl with a stiff wig. A bad wig. You living in your truth. We got. I agree.
Lex P
I agree.
Nicole
She ain't home. Oh, my God.
Lex P
Did y' all argue on the trip.
DJ Envy
For the two weeks that we were gone?
Sherra
No, we didn't.
DJ Envy
Me and Lex, honestly, really get along most of the time. We never really argue or get in if we do. Cause I feel like we can. We're at a point now in our relationship where we can sense when the other person low key, tired of each.
Lex P
Other, like, but it be over silly stuff like, Dre'll be running late sometimes and, like, she'll get in the Uber and I'll just be on my phone.
DJ Envy
Like, she won't even speak. I be like.
Lex P
She be like, hey, girl, girl, you are late. Bring your ass. So it be silly stuff like that. But we just don't. It don't be nothing like that. Serious. Like I said, life is good. What do we have to be mad about?
Nicole
Life is great, but we gotta go back to this wig shit for one time.
Lex P
Okay?
Nicole
We gonna have to open up the phones at some point. Cause I don't believe that. I've never heard the white men like stiff wig.
Lex P
They do.
DJ Envy
If you.
Nicole
You said stiff wig. Hard life.
Lex P
Hard wig. Soft life.
Sherra
Soft life.
Nicole
Who told you this?
Lex P
I lived it.
Sherra
I lived it.
Lex P
I'm serious. If you go look on TikTok right now and type hard wig, soft life, you gonna see nothing but interracial couples.
Nicole
So why didn't you stick with the white man then?
Lex P
Cuz I wanted a man. You wanted a hard life. I wanted a hard life with a hard man. I wanted to struggle with my black kings. I wanted to struggle. I wanted to hold it down.
DJ Envy
She wanted to struggle with some raw Indians.
Andrea
Did any of the teachings of Dr.
Nicole
Umar influence you to dump that white man?
Lex P
You know what people hate when I say this? I love Dr. Kung.
DJ Envy
I do, too.
Lex P
Black queens forever. Snow bunnies. First of all, I haven't.
DJ Envy
They talking about me. Talking about.
Lex P
I got back.
DJ Envy
Bad wig. Can't find him here.
Lex P
First off, what you talking about?
DJ Envy
Stop playing with me in this room. It's so nice to meet y' all.
Lex P
Hey, your wig looks beautiful, boy.
Nicole
A hard wig won't holler, Won't it? What is you talking about?
DJ Envy
Talking about her Emmy in that sat. First of all, the sassy neck normally comes from over here, but you and your sats on all over there, spinning around, looking at me.
Nicole
Nobody talking about you.
Lex P
Messy.
Charlamagne Tha God
She just got be sass.
DJ Envy
Exactly. So I had to come in here and let you know a source co close to my.
Nicole
A hard wig.
DJ Envy
Wow.
Nicole
Nobody talking about her.
DJ Envy
A hard wig Wolf. Nice to meet y' all lady. And I love the show. I think y' all look so pretty on the show. I've watched all three episodes.
Nicole
We was not talking about her.
DJ Envy
That's great. Why you kept turning around to me? We got cameras all in this studio. We going to run the tape.
Lex P
Oh, my God.
DJ Envy
That's this neck you keep talking about. Hard wig. Talking about that hard dye that's dried over there.
Lex P
Damn. Oh. All right, now I want to go.
DJ Envy
Back and get in my producer back. I'll talk to y' all ladies after, okay?
Lex P
I think your wig is beautiful.
DJ Envy
I like it.
Lex P
I love a ball. Me too. Y' all are so messy. Why y' all get us involved in that?
Nicole
Listen, how do y' all protect y' all mental health while still being so transparent?
Lex P
How do y' all protect your peace?
DJ Envy
My hard take my other people peace. I would keep the peace.
Lex P
That hard wig used to protect me. No, CTE over here, I was protected.
Nicole
But being that y' all are so transparent on the pod and on tv, how do y' all protect your mental health?
DJ Envy
I pray a lot. I have a great relationship with God. I pray a lot. I also go to therapy. I think it's so important to go to therapy. And I don't know why in the black community, so many people don't want to try it out.
Nicole
I agree.
DJ Envy
Or are afraid to try it out. Like, it has completely changed my life. Especially when I was grieving when I lost my dad, that's when I started therapy. And I've been going ever since. It's been about five years now.
Lex P
Yeah, it's the same. I go to therapy. I recently started going. I go to church every Sunday. I do not play. I worked on my relationship with God. And honestly, I really have a tight, close knit circle. Like, my friends and my family, like, me and my sister are extremely close. And I feel like that's important. Like, when I have, like, my bad days and I'm just like, my best friend is here with me. Killa. I'm like, like, you need to come to Atlanta Like, I'm not. I'm not doing too well. And she will literally hop on a plane and come see me. And, you know, because we all have our moments, even with Dre being my neighbor, I'm like, I had a breakdown last week, and I called her. I was like, bro, I'm finna lose my mind. So I think it's very important to have people around you that, you know, when I'm down, they can pick me up, and vice versa.
Nicole
So you had a grief counselor, Dre, or you just a therapist?
DJ Envy
Just a therapist. But, I mean, she did specialize in.
Nicole
Grief, though, and that helped.
DJ Envy
It helped me a lot for sure, because, I mean, I would talk to my mom about it, but it was hard talking to my mom about it because she was also grieving as well. And it was just nice to have somebody who was unbiased, who I could let all my feelings out and let them know how I was feeling. Because at the time, you know, Lex hadn't lost her mom yet, so I didn't have any friends that had lost appearance, so it wasn't anybody that I could talk to that I felt like, could relate to what I was going through, man.
Lex P
Yeah.
Nicole
Condolences, man.
DJ Envy
Thank you.
Nicole
And when you are going through those breakdowns, Lex, and you say you hit dread, would you pull up with a bottle or something, Some smoke? What y' all do?
DJ Envy
I always got a bottle. Not some smoke I'm wearing. Not that coke either.
Lex P
Exactly. Cause I know what you was about to go, are y' all gonna get flew out to make yourself feel better? No, but honestly, you know what? I don't even think we do that anymore. We used to, but now we really just talk.
DJ Envy
Like, we just talk at our convincing.
Lex P
To drink through our problems. Really don't do that anymore. We really just talk it out and, you know, just give each other time and just be there for each other. You know what I'm saying?
Nicole
Just learn them good coping mechanisms.
Lex P
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And one thing I've learned is just like, I've learned so much patience. I have so much peace in that, because it doesn't rain forever. So every time I'm going through something, I'm just like, just let it pass, and it always, always passes. So I think we. We. We now.
DJ Envy
We still get turned up wine, though.
Lex P
Yeah, we gonna drink now. But we don't. Don't use it as a crutch anymore. Anymore.
Nicole
Yeah, I was gonna ask y' all, too. How do y' all balance, like, turning up for the show? Because you still got to perform.
Lex P
Right?
Nicole
Because it's still a TV show.
Lex P
Yeah.
Nicole
But then being present for the moments that you're experiencing, like those cultural moments in those cities.
DJ Envy
You know what's crazy? We didn't really drink that much the whole time that we were filming. Like we had a few scenes. Like we had a mezcal scene. So of course we were drinking during that scene. I think the drag show. Yeah, we were drinking a little bit and then we had some mojitos. But honestly, those were the only three times throughout the whole time we were filming that we were drinking. We really wanted to stay present in the moment. Cause one thing about us, we gonna take it to the moon. We gonna take it too far. So it's best to just not have no dreams.
Lex P
Yeah. And it's crazy. Cause the mezcal scene that we did, that showed in Mexico City last night, that was actually the last scene that we did for the entire show. And that was probably the most like, lit that we got because we were drinking so much. But I think it's very different from Poor Minds. But honestly, we stopped drinking a lot on Poor Minds. Cause it was like some cringy episodes and we just like, oh my God.
Andrea
God.
DJ Envy
It was the Houston live show.
Lex P
Oh, that's what the live show really changed.
DJ Envy
It was so embarrassing because we recorded the show and then we went back and watched it when we got back to Atlanta. And it was just so cringy. We was on stage like, yeah, Lex, let's turn up. And we bringing our friends on stage and just drunk taking shots, twerking. It was. It was a mess.
Nicole
One of my favorite shows. No, y' all came out and y' all was just dancing and was like, y' all was in the zone.
Lex P
No, not that one. You're talking that. That was Houston. But that was like our second Houston show. You talking about we had the. The freaknick outfits on.
Nicole
You was doing that dance.
Lex P
Yeah. No, that was a good show.
DJ Envy
That was a good show. We had put ourselves on a drink minimum by that point.
Lex P
We have a two shot minimum before we go on stage. And then we'll have like a drink on stage. But we have one drink when we're on stage and that's it. Once we done with that drink, you're done.
DJ Envy
That first Houston show, we drunk that whole bottle of coffee was.
Lex P
We was turned.
Nicole
Had nerves. Y' all scared?
Lex P
I'm always nervous.
DJ Envy
She's always a little nervous. I was just trying to turn up. I didn't realize I was getting so drunk. So quick, so drunk.
Lex P
So.
Nicole
So what's the long term vision for the show? More seasons.
DJ Envy
Yes. We're hoping it's going to get picked up for a second season. I think we should probably know that within like the next two weeks or so. So obviously we wanted to get picked up. And as far as Poor Minds, we want Poor Minds to get picked up as a TV show as well. That's on our bucke.
Lex P
Yeah, for sure. I think, like with travel queens, I definitely want it to be a lot more seasoned. I feel like we should do like a whole season, like in Africa, a whole season in Europe. So that's what we're hoping that it'll. That it'll grow to. And, you know, same thing with poor Minds. I could see poor minds living on like, you know, maybe like a streaming app or something that, you know, outside of YouTube. I think we're ready to make that transition with Poor Minds as well. And catalog. Yeah, yeah, for sure. And more hosting opportunities for the both of us. And individually, she still has her cosmetics line that's doing really well. So her just growing in the beauty industry. I have started my YouTube channel, Love Lex P. So I'm just doing like Hot Topics show reviews because that's the lane I want to get into. More hosting as well. So, yeah, we just have so much stuff to do and I feel like now that we've made that step into tv, it's like, you know, people can actually see what we can do now, you know, for sure.
DJ Envy
I was already on it. Shop muse.beautycollection.com. make sure you get your lip glosses, matte liquid lipsticks, lip liners. I also just branched into other cosmetics products. So now I have some jelly blushes. I have mascara and eyeliner. So yeah, make sure y' all shop music beauty collection dot com.

The Breakfast Club: In-Depth Interview with Pour Minds Podcast on 'Travel Queens'
Episode Title: INTERVIEW: Pour Minds Podcast Talk ‘Travel Queens,' Learning Transparency, Friendship, Relationships + More
Release Date: May 13, 2025
Host: The Breakfast Club (DJ Envy, Just Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God)
Guests: Lex P, Andrea, Nicole from Poor Minds Podcast
Knowledge Cutoff: October 2023
In this episode of The Breakfast Club, hosts DJ Envy, Just Hilarious, and Charlamagne Tha God welcome special guests Lex P, Andrea, and Nicole from the Poor Minds Podcast. The primary focus of their discussion is the trio's new venture, the TV show 'Travel Queens', a docu-series airing on BET.
[02:20] DJ Envy: "We're back again."
[02:28] DJ Envy: "It's been too long."
The conversation delves into how 'Travel Queens' came to fruition. The production company Cocoa Butter approached the group to audition for the show, aiming to feature unique friend groups. After a successful audition, filming commenced a month later, with the entire show shot over two weeks.
[02:41] DJ Envy: "We auditioned for it, they loved us, and then we got it and we started filming maybe like a month after."
[03:03] Lex P: "But I will say so a lot of the stuff, too, is like, it's budget friendly."
'Travel Queens' showcases the group's travels to four distinct cities: Cartagena (Colombia), Mexico City, Key West, and Charleston. The show emphasizes providing black millennials and Gen Zers, especially women, with practical and budget-friendly travel advice. They highlight places to eat, connect with other black travelers, and ensure safety while having fun.
[03:18] Lex P: "It's basically really shown young black millennials, gen zers, especially women, how to travel, where to go eat, where to find other black people when you travel, and just how to be safe and have a good time."
[04:12] Lex P: "A lot of the stuff, too, is like, it's budget friendly. I mean, we went to Charleston... You don't have to necessarily fly. It's very budget friendly stuff."
A significant portion of the discussion centers around the deep friendship between Lex P and DJ Envy. They reveal that both live in Atlanta, often neighboring each other, which fosters their close-knit relationship. This proximity not only strengthens their bond but also enhances their collaborative efforts on projects like the podcast and TV show.
[07:31] Nicole: "Wow."
[07:34] DJ Envy: "We literally live in Atlanta. I live in a building right here, and her building is right here."
The hosts explore the dynamics of Lex P and DJ Envy's romantic relationship amidst their professional collaboration. They candidly discuss being in a relationship while maintaining a strong friendship, emphasizing communication and mutual support. Both acknowledge encountering challenges, such as going through transitions or potential breakups, but highlight their commitment to working through issues together.
[09:35] Lex P: "We're figuring it out."
[09:47] DJ Envy: "I try to be supportive of what she wants to do."
Reflecting on their journey with the Poor Minds Podcast, the guests share valuable insights about personal growth through transparency and vulnerability. DJ Envy discusses his evolution from a private individual to someone who openly shares his struggles, including the loss of his father. This openness not only fostered a supportive community but also served as a healing process for him.
[11:18] DJ Envy: "Transparency and vulnerability is healing."
[12:05] DJ Envy: "I enjoy telling my story... It was really hard for me to talk about on the show."
Similarly, Lex P speaks about embracing her authentic self, shedding societal expectations, and celebrating her loud, tomboyish personality. She underscores the importance of self-acceptance and breaking free from predefined boxes.
[12:41] Lex P: "I just embrace who I am. I'm not the sexy girl... I'm a tomboy. I like to Be loud. Have fun."
The conversation turns to mental health, with both hosts emphasizing the importance of therapy and a strong support system. DJ Envy credits therapy for helping him navigate his grief and personal struggles, advocating for its acceptance within the black community.
[35:45] DJ Envy: "I pray a lot. I have a great relationship with God... I also go to therapy. I think it's so important to go to therapy."
Lex P echoes similar sentiments, highlighting her church involvement and the significance of a close-knit circle of friends and family in maintaining mental well-being.
[36:07] Lex P: "I go to church every Sunday. I do not play. I worked on my relationship with God... I have a tight, close knit circle."
Looking ahead, Lex P and DJ Envy discuss their aspirations for expanding their projects. They aim to secure additional seasons of 'Travel Queens' and transition their successful podcast into a television format.
