Some people are counting down to Christmas. Others are just trying to make it through the month.

This week, Straight Up. 🍸 Extra Dirty slows it down for some free holiday therapy.
Talking honestly about the holiday blues, missing loved ones, old memories that suddenly hit harder, and that weird feeling of being lonely even when you’re not physically alone!

L.A. Marchesi & Mikey G open up about grief, anxiety, and the heavy thoughts that can creep in this time of year, while reminding you there is help, there are resources, and you are never as alone as your brain tries to convince you.

About the Hosts
L.A. Marchesi & Mikey G are the duo behind Straight Up. 🍸 Extra Dirty.

In This Episode, You’ll Hear:
➛ What the “holiday blues” really look and feel like
➛ Grief, empty chairs, and the people we wish were still here
➛ How the holidays can trigger depression, anxiety, and dark thoughts
➛ Gentle reminders that you are not a burden and it is okay to ask for help

Why Listen:
Because not everyone feels festive and that doesn’t make you broken

Lights low, drinks poured, and everyone swearing they’re “totally fine” 🫠

This week, Straight Up. 🍸 Extra Dirty is tucking you in with Bedtime Stories, the kind of late night confessions that happen after someone pulls a Kris K and decides the “sleepy-time snack” clearly isn’t working fast enough… so they improvise.

L.A. Marchesi & Mikey G cozy up in bed for unfiltered pillow talk, questionable decision-making, and the exact moment everyone realizes:
maybe the first one was working...

It’s chaotic, giggly, slightly sideways, and feels like a grown up sleepover where the group chat finally goes off screen.

About the Hosts
L.A. Marchesi & Mikey G are the duo behind Straight Up. 🍸 Extra Dirty.
Real talk where bold humor meets modern culture. Expect sharp banter, cheeky laughs, and the kind of “we probably shouldn’t say this” honesty most people their age avoid.

In This Episode, You’ll Hear:
➛ Bedtime stories that start chill and slowly tilt sideways
➛ A gentle reminder to never trust the “I don’t feel anything yet” moment
➛ When your nightcap, your “vitamin,” and your big feelings all clock in at once
➛ Late-night overshares, cozy chaos, and laugh ’til you cry energy

Why Listen:
Because some of the best stories start with
“I’m just gonna take one and sip this slowly…”
and end with everyone wide awake, laughing, and pretending this is their new “relaxing” routine.
