On ‘Stepping Into The Shade Room,’ Lex P. and Drea Nicole—hosts of the ‘Pour Minds’ podcast—dig into viral “cheating” jokes, what dating looks like now for Lex after a college confession, and why Drea says she’s open to dating outside their race.
Lex P. and Drea Nicole didn’t come to soften the edges.
On this episode of ‘Stepping Into The Shade Room. ’ the ‘Pour Minds’ podcast hosts sat down with Thembi to talk about six-figure checks. their next money moves. scaling a brand. and keeping a 10-year friendship steady. But when the conversation landed on “cheating” jokes and interracial dating. the talk got sharper—less glossy punchline. more lived-in honesty.
Lex explained that she likes to “embellish” stories. while also admitting that she did cheat on someone back when she was in college. Even so, she said her current preference is being able to date freely. She added that she jokes about it in a way that can make men uncomfortable. saying she does it “freely. ” because men “usually” do.
Drea, meanwhile, took a different tone on the dating conversation. She said she is open to dating outside of their race, then framed it with a simple feeling: “Whatever is going on, this isn’t working. So maybe I should try something different,” Drea Nicole explained while chuckling.
As Lex and Drea kept the moment moving, they also weighed in on another type of “shoot your shot.” They shared thoughts on other content creators—specifically whether they’d shot their shot—then teased what they’d do with a longer list of entertainment names.
The hosts asked the audience to watch the clip as they discussed whether they’d shoot their shot at Nick Cannon, Shannon Sharpe, Cam Newton, DJ Akademiks, and more. The conversation also swept across the entertainment industry, their “Still Sippin” tour, their individual business ventures, and more.
One minute it was about friendships and future money moves; the next. it was about the stories people laugh at. and who gets to change the rules once they’re actually living them. For Lex P. and Drea Nicole. the viral jokes aren’t just talk—they’re a doorway into how they date. how they tell stories. and what they’re willing to be honest about.

So Lex cheated in college but now she just jokes about it like that’s normal? Men uncomfortable?? ok.
I don’t even get why people are calling it cheating jokes… like it’s a podcast. Also the whole “open to dating outside their race” line felt kinda random, like why bring that up in the middle of money talk lol.
Wait so she “embellishes” stories but then admits she cheated? That sounds like they’re trying to be relatable and also avoid accountability. And the Nick Cannon / Shannon Sharpe thing… are they saying they’d date them or like just interview them??
I swear every time someone says “men usually” they mean men are all the same. Like nah, people just do what they do. Also “six-figure checks” and “scaling a brand” got me thinking this is all about clout, not real dating. If she wants to date freely then just date freely, don’t make it a joke and drag interracial dating into it like that.
