00:00:00.959 --> 00:00:03.919
Oh my god, I just totally got catfished.
00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:06.080
He looks absolutely nothing like his picture.
00:00:06.320 --> 00:00:11.039
So I found out the guy that I've been dating is married with kids.
00:00:11.279 --> 00:00:13.679
His wife just reached out to me.
00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:16.480
Welcome to the Meat Market.
00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:19.440
The single scene is a slaughterhouse, and we are here to devour it.
00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:20.079
We are your hosts.
00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:20.719
I'm Lindsay.
00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:21.199
I'm Jess.
00:00:21.359 --> 00:00:23.440
And today's sizzling single is Alexis.
00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:23.839
Welcome.
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:25.199
Hi, I'm Alexis.
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:27.039
So you have.
00:00:28.719 --> 00:00:31.280
So you are a waitress at a strip club.
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:33.600
What are the stories you must have?
00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:36.880
So, oh, I have some juicy ones.
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:43.759
So not for my current club that I work at, but the first one I ever worked at, it was just run so crazy.
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:47.359
They end up eventually losing the club, but that's another story.
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:51.119
But some of the craziest stories that I've seen or experienced.
00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:59.759
I was leaving work one day and there's a dancer giving a laugh dance to a guy, and then a girl was getting walked out, and they must have had some kind of drama.
00:00:59.920 --> 00:01:08.079
Because as she was walking out and the girl was bent over, giving a dance, she pulls her hair and throws it to the ground while the guy's just on the chair, like, oh my god, wait, like, what's going on?
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:09.439
Like, do I have to pay for this?
00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:10.719
Like, is it the scene?
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:12.239
Yeah, it was crazy.
00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:15.120
So I was like, oh shit, now it's just waitressing, and I was like, oh my god.
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:16.719
And this was like during the day.
00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:21.200
And another story, different girls, similar situation.
00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:25.439
There was a girl like dancing on the stage, and then a girl walked by, another dancer.
00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:31.120
And as a girl walked by, the one on stage grabbed her wig and snatched it off in front of everybody.
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:31.519
Yeah.
00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:33.120
And then she was mortified.
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:38.879
Yeah, she was mortified, and then she was just like, and I've never seen a girl pounce up into a stage.
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:48.000
Like it was like superhero straight, like where she just like leaped on stage and then they go browning on the stage, going like this, and everyone just watching, like, oh fuck.
00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:52.879
Like and like then the bouncer would like jump in, grab them both, throw them into the locker room.
00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:53.439
Oh, yeah.
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:55.840
Because he was like, take this out of here.
00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:57.920
And everyone was just like, oh my god, this is amazing.
00:01:58.000 --> 00:01:59.040
Like it was the craziest thing.
00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:03.280
I feel like that's the worst thing you can do to a woman in public is take off the wig, right?
00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:03.920
Absolutely.
00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:05.760
So what are all these strippers fight about?
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:07.040
Is it over clients?
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:07.760
I don't know.
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:11.280
It must have been, but I was like new to waitressing at the club, so I was young.
00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:12.879
I didn't like have friends yet.
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:18.960
But yeah, I was like, there must be something with clients, or like, yeah, maybe they're dating the same guy.
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:22.800
Yeah, someone messed with somebody's money and like that's he's my client.
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:23.680
Yeah, exactly.
00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:24.400
He's mine.
00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:37.120
And then there's one other time when I was working during the day, and it was only one customer just sitting out in the in the audience, and the girl was dancing on the stage, and then she swings so far that her shoe, her stiletto, flies.
00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:39.599
And it literally went right past him.
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:42.000
Like it was a miracle that it didn't hit him in the eye.
00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:42.800
It was literally this close.
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:47.520
And he was just sitting there, like minding his business, like even till he was not supposed to be there for his lunch break.
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:52.719
And the stiletto went like full speed, and then he just, before I could even be like, Oh my god, are you okay?
00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:54.479
He just got up and left and I never saw him again.
00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:57.599
Like, I think he was like, This is my sign that I'm I need to not be here.
00:02:57.919 --> 00:02:59.280
Like my family will know.
00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:05.439
How would you feel like to go to a strip club and to walk in and you're the only person there?
00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:06.639
Is that kind of awkward?
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:07.520
Wouldn't that be weird?
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:10.240
I mean, I've experienced that when guys would come in and they're like, Oh, okay.
00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:11.360
We're like, oh come on, stay.
00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:12.960
Like, we've been waiting for you, and like, oh no, I'm good.
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:15.599
Like, they think it's like an intervention and they like turn around so fast.
00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:17.919
It might be good because you get all the attention, right?
00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:18.560
Yeah.
00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:37.840
Yeah, but then you're you're also expected that like what if you don't like the dancer and you and you would prefer not to tip the dancer, but when you're the only person in there, it's like then you sort of have to because a lot of girls just end up leaving, or they'll be like, Where's everybody?
00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:40.240
I'm like, Oh, we got lots of girls working, no big deal.
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:43.360
And he's like, No, and I'm like, Oh, I didn't know you were here to see the other guys.
00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:48.080
Like, it's you can just wait, like they'll come in and then they get kind of uncomfortable, but they usually just leave.
00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:50.479
They see the only one and they're like, This is a setup.
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:54.080
Like, I'm they just turn around without even like asking questions.
00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:55.120
Oh, that's crazy.
00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:57.599
Do you get hit on a lot as the waitress?
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:05.360
I mean, yeah, I do sometimes, but my my line is like when guys are hitting on me, they're like, Oh, you're the hottest girl here.
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:16.879
I'm like, Oh, it's because I bring you gifts, because I bring beer and like alcohol, you know, but yeah, they hit on me, but I think it's just like I don't know, they maybe just because they see me the most, or it's the like taboo of like, oh, she's the one I can't have.
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:17.199
Yeah.
00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:17.920
So I like it.
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:19.920
Or it's just like the atmosphere of yeah, yeah.
00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:21.360
They feeling flirty, yeah.
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:22.560
They want to hit on everybody.
00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:26.480
I'm sure they say it to everybody, but yeah, I get hit on sometimes, yeah.
00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:29.199
Why did you choose to waitress and not strip?
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:33.360
Well, I started out waitressing when I was like 20 years old, and I was still really shy.
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:37.120
I was honestly so shy before I got that job, and it helped me not be as shy.
00:04:37.279 --> 00:04:48.399
I think it was like the dim lighting mixed with just like all the compliments and this um being surrounded by other beautiful women and they're all like naked, so it's like less pressure on me, you know.
00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:49.680
Like no one's looking at me as much.
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:53.120
Why choose waitressing at a strip club versus waitressing at a restaurant?
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:56.160
Oh, I bet the money's like so much faster.
00:04:56.319 --> 00:05:13.920
Like you know, you get tipped for just being pretty or for waters or just walking by and checking on them, like referring girls to people, like yeah, the money's turnover is so much faster, and you don't have to do all that stinky side work, like the dishes, yeah, like dishes, silverware, yeah, like mopping the floors.
00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:19.120
Like I used to work at a Mexican restaurant and I had to do all that side work where I wouldn't want to do anything after work.
00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:23.600
I'd get out at like 11, but I just want to go home because I smell like food and it was just not good.
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:26.319
And we had to do so much sidework that my back would be aching.
00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:29.279
And I'm like, So is there no side work at the strip club?
00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:30.959
You just show up, serve, and then that's it?
00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:34.000
Yeah, we just wipe down the tables, so like that's easy.
00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:39.360
Wipe down the tables and then just put the chairs nicely, neat, and then just count your money and that's it.
00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:40.000
So it's great.
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:40.639
Nice.
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:42.480
Yeah, yeah, it's not, it's very low.
00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:44.560
Count your dollar bills, ching ching.
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:47.920
Cash my yeah, count my credit card tips, do all that stuff.
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:48.319
It's fun.
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:50.000
Does it make dating hard though?
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:52.000
Do guys get upset?
00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:54.879
Even with just waitressing at a strip club?
00:05:55.199 --> 00:06:14.319
Even with just waitressing, because I feel like unless they know, like unless that they know someone in industry or I've been there, they think they just assume what they see in like movies of strip clubs, or they don't know of like strip clubs in, say, like Mexico or or other foreign countries where you can do anything you want for the right amount of money, and I'm like, that's not how it is.
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:31.120
And just because I work in one doesn't mean that I'm like doing all that stuff that you see in the movies and I mean, really essentially what's different than working as a waitress at a strip club or working at the W where you're wearing a bikini and serving in a bikini, a bottle girl there, right?
00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:32.399
It's kind of this comparison.
00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:33.680
Yeah, I think it's the same.
00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:56.879
Um, I don't know, but also I've noticed like even guys that have been fine with it in the beginning, like while we're dating, over time I think they get insecure either because they find out maybe I make more money than them when I don't when I have to do way less work, or they just they just assume like you know, you're around other guys all the time that like have a lot of money and have more confidence that might try to swoop you away from me type thing.
00:06:57.199 --> 00:06:58.720
Well and the hours are hard too.
00:06:58.959 --> 00:06:59.360
Yeah, too.
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:03.279
You have to kind of date someone who works similar hours to you, probably.
00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:04.000
Yeah, it's true.
00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:05.519
You work most nights.
00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:09.120
Yeah, I work the weekends too, Friday and Saturday nights and Wednesday nights.
00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:17.839
But yeah, the weekends make it hard because that's when most people like want to go out and do something, and I'm like, oh, I work every weekend, but we can hang out Sunday or Thursday or Monday.
00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:21.199
But are you allowed to disclose what club you work at?
00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:22.480
I don't think I should have.
00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:23.920
No, okay, that's fine, that's fine.
00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:29.519
Yeah, but this one's good, but the other ones were like the yeah.
00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:40.480
This one's like run by the right people and they pay a lot of attention and like girls can't gossip about each other, like they keep it very like high, like which it's like a high pedestal.
00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:44.560
So but the other clubs I've worked at they would just let anything go.
00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:50.800
I feel like that's important in a strip club to take care of the girls, you know, put them as a priority, make them feel safe and comfortable.
00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:55.279
The question is it like can you call say the word stripper now or is that derogatory?
00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:57.199
Do they prefer to be called dancers?
00:07:57.839 --> 00:07:58.240
Maybe.
00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:02.639
I mean, customers always say strippers, but I just say like entertainers or dancers.
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:08.639
Okay, that's like the well, like then I say I work at a strip club, so it's like the same thing, but yeah, I think they don't mind.
00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:09.920
But they're stripping.
00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:14.879
Yeah, I just I I never knew if that was offensive to them saying that calling them a stripper.
00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:18.480
I never know either, but I know the girls I've sure refer to themselves as that too.
00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:20.319
It's just the way they say it.
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:25.680
Also, a lot of them don't dance, they just kind of like walk back and forth and take their clothes off.
00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:26.560
That's actually true.
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:27.360
You know what I mean?
00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:30.000
So then if they're not dancing, can you call them a dance?
00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:31.199
Yeah, that's right.
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:34.159
Yeah, they strive.
00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:39.600
Some girls too just sit there and they'll be talking to customers for like I feel like it's like the lap dances.
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:42.080
Yeah, and I'm like, you're not even dancing and you're making so much money.
00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:44.000
Like, how are they okay with it?
00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:45.120
But like they're fine.
00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:46.080
Yeah, yeah.
00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:50.159
So when you do meet a guy, do you tell him right off the bat what you do?
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:56.639
No, I usually just say right off the bat, I'm like, okay, I bar I bar tent or a waitress at a club or a bar.
00:08:56.879 --> 00:08:57.279
That makes sense.
00:08:57.519 --> 00:08:58.399
A waitress at a bar.
00:08:58.559 --> 00:08:59.759
I work at a bar on the weekends.
00:08:59.840 --> 00:09:04.240
Like, I'll say that, and then when I get to know them more, then I'll eventually tell them.
00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:10.879
But I want to like, I don't know, get to know them first in case it doesn't work out or in case they end up being crazy, and I'm like, great, now they know where I work.
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:19.919
They might show up or be weird or and I feel like it's gonna take a very secure, confident man to be able to date you because a strip club it is all men, right?
00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:23.919
Essentially, mostly men that go there to see pretty women and flirt with pretty women.
00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:27.120
So I can imagine a lot of men would be jealous and insecure.
00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:28.879
I feel like they get jealous, yeah.
00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:31.440
How do you meet guys that you date?
00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:32.320
Are you on the apps?
00:09:32.559 --> 00:09:38.799
I was on the apps, but I end up deleting them because it's just like just red flag after red flag.
00:09:38.960 --> 00:09:44.320
Yeah, so I was on the apps, and like every once in a while I'll go on the apps because I'm like, where else can I meet guys?
00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:54.320
And like I'll meet I'll go places by myself, like karaoke bars or concerts, and like guys will approach me, but it's never the guy that I would usually go for on my own.
00:09:54.559 --> 00:10:02.399
But I like the confidence, so I'll give them a chance sometimes, but then they end up hurting me, and I'm like, great, I lowered my standards for you, and this is how you treat me.
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:06.799
But I don't know, but yeah, I was on the apps um for a while.
00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:08.320
What is your type?
00:10:08.960 --> 00:10:10.480
So I like all kinds of guys, really.
00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:17.519
There's no specific type, but I do like musicians and I like like handyman type of guys, or just like really confident men.
00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:22.399
I like the confidence ones that like take the lead or will like you know set things up.
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:27.440
Like if we're at somewhere, like they'll do the talking, like you know, trying to get like a reservation or something.
00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:29.919
I don't have to be the one to be like, oh, table for two.
00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:31.440
Like I don't want him to do that.
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:36.159
And I feel like as small of a like detail that is, I feel like not a lot of people do that anymore.
00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:37.679
And I feel like I'm gonna have to be the dominating one.
00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:38.480
A leader, yeah.
00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:42.240
Yeah, and then it makes things kind of weird, but yeah, those are my type.
00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:44.720
But I like physically all types of guys.
00:10:44.960 --> 00:10:45.519
Do you sing?
00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:47.279
Is that why you like to go to karaoke bars?
00:10:47.440 --> 00:11:04.639
Yeah, but I'm not like a really amazing singer, but I like um to perform and I like attention, so I'll be like, okay, like I'll make it like a big show and I'll scream and and I like I have a lot of fun doing karaoke, and that's like after I go by myself somewhere, I'll do karaoke and then I'll perform, and then afterwards I'll be like, okay, now people want to be my friend.
00:11:04.799 --> 00:11:06.799
Or they want to get to know me or give me a compliment.
00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:07.679
Oh, that's awesome.
00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:09.519
What is your go-to karaoke song?
00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:12.799
So my favorite one, it's uh Puddle of Mud, She Hates Me.
00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:13.919
That one's my favorite.
00:11:14.399 --> 00:11:16.879
I'll be like, she fing hates me.
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:19.519
And then I dance.
00:11:19.679 --> 00:11:24.159
Yeah, and then I get on my knees and I uh oh my god, oh my god, that's my favorite.
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:25.600
Where do you sing karaoke?
00:11:25.679 --> 00:11:26.240
I'm gonna go.
00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:27.679
Yeah, I just showed it.
00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:31.600
Last time I went, there's like three people recording me, and I'm like, oh my god, am I gonna go viral?
00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:32.720
But like it didn't happen.
00:11:32.799 --> 00:11:34.320
I didn't see it, no one tagged me.
00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:37.440
But um, I like Grapevine because they do it every night.
00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:38.240
It's in Scottsville.
00:11:38.879 --> 00:11:40.159
Every night's karaoke place.
00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:44.080
Yeah, on like Monday nights, I like this bar called Easy Tiger.
00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:47.120
It's like it's in Glendale, really cute.
00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:51.279
They do fun, like themed nights too, and or I like rips.
00:11:51.519 --> 00:11:52.799
I was in downtown Phoenix.
00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:56.879
Well, not downtown, but Phoenix and they do Sunday and Mondays.
00:11:57.039 --> 00:11:57.679
Oh fun.
00:11:57.840 --> 00:11:59.519
Yeah, so it depends on what day of the week it is.
00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:00.799
And I'm like, okay, I'll go then.
00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:02.960
You know the karake schedule all across the valley.
00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:03.600
Yeah, basically.
00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:05.440
Yeah, I do.
00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:08.240
There's even this bar called Boycott, a lesbian bar.
00:12:08.320 --> 00:12:09.759
They do it on Sundays too.
00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:10.480
Oh fun.
00:12:10.639 --> 00:12:15.039
So I'll jump around to all of them, just for everyone has like the shortest line, so I can get up there.
00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:16.399
Waste no time.
00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:18.320
I love it.
00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:21.200
So you describe yourself as a tooth collector?
00:12:21.519 --> 00:12:23.039
Oh, yeah, I collect teeth.
00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:24.399
Like what kind of teeth?
00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:25.279
So human teeth.
00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:27.519
I have some animal teeth too that I've been gifted.
00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:28.799
It's all been gifted to me.
00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:32.240
Well, besides it started with my own um wisdom teeth.
00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:34.240
Because if you ask for them, they'll give them to you.
00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:36.639
But a lot of people, I feel like, don't think to ask.
00:12:36.960 --> 00:12:41.519
But I just think teeth are so fascinating, or everyone has different teeth.
00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:43.679
I don't know, I just find that so amazing.
00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:48.240
And like you only have so many, so I feel like they should be worth as much as gold, in my opinion.
00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:53.200
That's so funny because so I lost my last baby tooth recently, like a year and a half ago.
00:12:53.840 --> 00:12:55.600
About yeah, yeah.
00:12:55.759 --> 00:13:07.919
And I so I asked my dentist if I could have it because I asked my niece in front of my mom if the tooth fairy will still come to me, even though I'm an adult, but it's still a baby tooth.
00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:09.440
And my niece said yes.
00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:11.679
And so I was like, Um mom, did you hear that?
00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:15.279
The tooth fairy is still gonna come to me as an adult.
00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:20.960
And my mom was like, The pillow, the the tooth has to be under your pillow for the tooth fairy to come, though.
00:13:21.759 --> 00:13:28.080
And so I asked my dentist, I was like, Listen, I need to take this tooth home because I need the tooth fairy to come.
00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:31.360
And he wouldn't give it to me.
00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:33.679
No, I literally but it's out of your body.
00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:34.399
I feel like you have to.
00:13:34.639 --> 00:13:35.679
No, he wouldn't give it to me.
00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:36.159
Why?
00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:37.360
I took a picture of it.
