L.A. had one goal: teach Mikey G how to make homemade energy balls.

That goal lasted approximately three seconds.

What follows is a short but spectacular train wreck filled with nonstop double entendres, debates about grooming preferences, peanut butter mishaps, pickleball references, questionable life advice, and enough ball jokes to carry an entire season of the podcast.

Somewhere in the middle of the chaos, a batch of energy balls is actually made. Whether they turned out edible is another story.

This may be our shortest episode ever, but it might also be one of the funniest. Every ingredient, every instruction, and every attempt at staying focused immediately spirals into complete madness.

EP 21 - Straight Up. 🍸 Extra Dirty: Love, Lies, and the Spotlight

What happens when the “perfect couple” image starts to feel… a little too perfect? 👀

In this episode of Straight Up. Extra Dirty., we get into the conversation surrounding Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban—the headlines, the rumors, and the details people can’t stop dissecting.

But this isn’t just about them.

This is about how we all engage with relationships in the spotlight.
How quickly we build narratives.
How easily perception becomes “truth.”
And why people are so invested in watching both love stories… and their unraveling.

We break down:

• The pressure behind maintaining a public image
• The subtle moments people read into (and sometimes reach for)
• How media and social platforms amplify speculation
• And the psychology behind why audiences are drawn to both perfection and chaos

Straight Up. Extra Dirty. means we’re not here to play it safe.
We’re here to say what people are thinking—and unpack what’s really going on beneath the surface.

If you’ve ever questioned what’s real vs. what’s presented… this one’s for you.

EP 20 – Straight Up. 🍸 Extra Dirty: Vacuums and Batteries – Which Are You?

Every circle has them… the ones who drain the room and the ones who charge it. 🔋⚡

In Episode 20 of Straight Up. Extra Dirty, hosts L.A. Marchesi and Mikey G dive into one of the toughest realities of personal growth: sometimes leveling up means letting people go. ✂️

As we step deeper into 2026, many of us are realizing that not everyone in our lives is meant to move forward with us. Some people lift you higher, while others quietly pull you down. 🪫

In this episode, we unpack the idea of “Vacuums vs. Batteries.”

Are you surrounded by people who drain your energy and keep you stuck?
Or are you building a circle that charges you up and pushes you forward? ⚡

L.A. and Mikey share real-life stories, tough personal decisions, and raw moments about cutting off relationships that no longer serve a healthy or productive purpose. Whether it’s a friend, relative, toxic relationship, or long-standing connection, sometimes growth requires making uncomfortable choices. 🧠

This conversation is honest, unfiltered, and relatable for anyone navigating the challenge of protecting their peace while pursuing growth. 📈

Because at the end of the day, the real question is simple:

Are you a vacuum… or a battery? 🔋
