Poolside Chats

Still at it with the Smoke Free Media crew out in Houston and today we have the lovely Ms Alexis known as Lex sitting down with us. Aside from being the amazing host of Smoke Free Weekend's game night, Lex is a mental health professional and podcaster. Lex sat down with us, along with Yo Boy AG to discuss mental health as a whole, but especially in the Black community. When Lex isn't in the middle of pursuing her PhD, she is the voice of "The Free Space" podcast. The Free Space is a place where any topic is allowed and your voice can be heard. Being passionate about mental health, Lex was able to bless us with knowledge and understanding on why mental health is important and how we in the Black community need to recognize it as such. Be sure to stay tuned into Lex on IG @_Lex_Is_More_ and @TheFreeSpacePodcast. Her podcast can be heard on Apple, Google, Anchor, Spotify and Stitcher. As always, thank you for listening!

What's going on Podcast family!!! It's your boy MTV back after a long hiatus! A few of my brother in the podcast world seemed to stay in the spotlight at all times and this week is no different. But this week it's over some blah blah blah and it's got the podcast world flip turned upside down! So I'd like to take a minute, just sit right there... while I tell you all about my thoughts from a town called Bel Air. Well that's a lie. I'm in Hollywood. My black ass can't afford Bel Air. Yet....

What's going on family!?! A quick Change the Channel today to remember the senseless murder of 17 year old Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman. It was on July 13, 2013 that Zimmerman was acquitted and we all were reminded that walking home while black was STILL a crime in America. So today on the 5 year anniversary of this event, I just wanted to briefly touch on the life and times of Zimmerman since. And remember, that at the time of his murder, many referred to young Trayvon as a thug....

What's going on family!! Back again with another dope Change the Channel session. Today I discussed the life and the tragic passing of Florida rapper XXXtentacion. His death was surrounded by a lot of mixed emotions and feelings across social media. So I decided to shed a little of my perspective on the situation. And as usual, I went Live on my Facebook page and got a lot of really great comments and feedback from my Facebook audience. Be sure to check out the video on...

The great thing that I loved about today's chat was that Mike was in no way shy about his down times. He was very open and honest about hitting hard times all the way down to sleeping in his car!! Showering at the...

Family!!!! Appreciate y'all tuning into this episode. If you've been riding with me you know that Poolside Chats is a show based on bringing LA's dream chasers and goal diggers to you. But I also from time to time just want to rant about whatever subject I happen to feel like ranting about. So from here on out when I do that... I've decided to "Change the Channel". So I'm excited to bring you the very first episode in the Change the Channel series. In this issue I discuss folk who verbally...

What's going on family!!! Had a chance to sit down with two of my homies and discuss Marvel's Avengers and the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a whole. My homie Terran from the Hodge Podge Podcast and my actor homie Vonnie D were the perfect duo to discuss this with. All three of us are true geeks and have seen every MCU movie countless times, including seeing Avengers Infinity War multiple times apiece. We talked about the latest Avengers film, our personal top 5 movies from the MCU and what...
