EP 27 - Straight Up. 🍸 Extra Dirty: Cocktails, Chaos and Poor Choices

🍸 Things started with a cocktail recipe.

That's about the only thing that stayed on track.

This week, L.A. and Mikey G mix up a peanut butter whiskey cocktail and somehow end up discussing celebrity hall passes, dating preferences, hairdresser horror stories, concert experiences, Madonna, Morgan Wallen, and a few topics that probably should have stayed off the microphone.

Along the way, L.A. shares some behind-the-scenes stories from life behind the salon chair, the duo debates confidence versus age when it comes to style, and they reveal which celebrities they'd invite for a drink if they had the chance.

It's funny, completely unfiltered, occasionally inappropriate, and exactly the kind of conversation you'd expect from Straight Up. Extra Dirty.

⚠️ Warning: Contains peanut butter whiskey, celebrity crushes, questionable advice, and absolutely zero self-control.

Cheers. 🍻

Spicy glitch shot.

SPEAKER_00 2:18

I don't want the spicy glitch out. You don't want to see this spicy clit shot. Minus another 20 years, maybe you would have.

SPEAKER_02 2:26

Alright, now we're adding a splash of banana liqueur because we're not the d. There's no banana.

SPEAKER_00 2:31

Why do you put the banana on like where does the banana come from? Or you just like bananas?

So speaking of d so what is it that you do like give me an idea of like if the guy doesn't have it all going on down there, but he's handsome as hell, six-pack uh abs. Like, are you still going for it? Or is it if he doesn't have the right? Yes, yes, so that trumps the so that trumps it. So we can get the peanut butter, so we can Okay, so we can get the peanut butter, we can do the peanut butter dust. You'll take the peanut butter d with the plane.

SPEAKER_02 3:56

With the plane. Okay, so it doesn't only with the plane.

SPEAKER_00 3:58

So let me ask you a question.

SPEAKER_02 3:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 4:00

So with that being said, like, like, is there like a like being a gay man, clearly, you're gay. Did you ever like women? Did you ever like women? Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_02 4:11

No.

SPEAKER_00 4:12

No. Okay. All right. Moving on to the next question. So, in a relationship, like, if you're so we talked about the d because we're drinking peanut butter d right now, and I want to stay on the subject of penises, whatever you want to call it, balls. Like, do you so what about somebody that's not circumcised? That's a big question I get from women. So now you're a guy who sleeps with men, well, your husband, but what's the difference? Like, what's your thing of well, and others we could talk about?

SPEAKER_02 4:44

That's a whole other topic. That's a whole swing of television.

SPEAKER_00 4:49

That's when we're gonna bring your husband in on that conversation. And we're keeping mine out of it.

SPEAKER_02 4:53

I don't know about another one.

SPEAKER_00 4:56

So what like I think.

SPEAKER_02 4:58

That's an Eiffel Tower right there. An Eiffel Tower?

SPEAKER_00 5:02

What the hell's an Eiffel Tower?

SPEAKER_02 5:03

You don't know what an Eiffel Tower is? No, what's an Eiffel Tower? Well, that's when you you when when you're with two guys and they're gonna be.

SPEAKER_00 5:10

I'm trying to try to wait, let me try to figure this out. Oh, okay, go ahead. Sorry.

SPEAKER_02 5:14

You're in the middle. You're in the middle, and there's one guy in the back and one guy on the other side, and they're high-fiving each other to say, like, we got this. Like, it's like they're giving each other down.

SPEAKER_00 5:24

I don't even I can't even get a video. Like, what do you mean? That's an Eiffel Tower?

SPEAKER_02 5:27

I mean, do you want me to get on all fours? Like, how much time do we have? We might need a third. Segments get.

SPEAKER_00 5:36

Who would that third be?

SPEAKER_02 5:37

Who would that third be?

SPEAKER_00 5:39

If you were gonna do an Eiffel Tower, who would Alright, so Eiffel Tower is a sexual position. Okay. Clearly, I don't know anything. I'd love to know from our audience, like out there listening, who's ever heard of an Eiffel Tower? Because now I seem like I'm kind of like lost in the dark ages. So now you're telling me the Eiffel Tower is like this sexual position. Yeah. So when it takes three people.

SPEAKER_02 6:00

It takes three people.

SPEAKER_00 6:01

Okay, so who would be your fantasy three?

SPEAKER_02 6:05

My fantasy three. In an Eiffel Tower. We have to put my husband in there. Of course. Yes, for sure.

SPEAKER_00 6:14

Of course.

SPEAKER_02 6:16

Maybe Aquaman? Aquaman? Who's Aquaman? Jason Lamola.

SPEAKER_00 6:21

Oh, Jason Lamar. Oh, okay. Like, so that's your fantasy.

SPEAKER_02 6:24

Yeah. Like Aquaman's like, I mean, he's so you like.

SPEAKER_00 6:28

So you like, so that's your type? Like you like these big.

SPEAKER_02 6:31

Don't ask me who's going in the middle. I'm not gonna answer that one. Who's going in the middle? Aquaman. Totally.

SPEAKER_00 6:40

So he's like your dream catch then. Alright, because women, for me, I still have like fantasies of like, you know, people that, you know, if I was gonna get a hall pass from, like I would ask. Oh yes, you know I love Brad Pitt. I knew it.

SPEAKER_02 6:56

I clogged her for the break. Yeah, I do.

SPEAKER_00 6:58

Because you know what? When I see him, I think of him back from Legends of the Falls. I do. I'm sorry. I love the guy. I think he aged great. I think he did some f shit in his life. But that man is freaking beautiful.

SPEAKER_02 7:09

He's sexy, yeah. I mean I don't know, Fight Club is Fight Club, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 7:12

You like Fight Club? Oh, I like him as well.

SPEAKER_02 7:14

Who doesn't like to get hit here now and there?

SPEAKER_00 7:16

A little slap around, you know, like um I'd rather pull on his long hair from Legends of the Falls. Man, that dude's he's just it's oh god, I guess.

SPEAKER_02 7:25

Which way are you pulling on it from? Like the front or the back?

SPEAKER_00 7:30

Maybe I'll put him in the Eiffel Tower.

SPEAKER_02 7:32

He would be a good Eiffel Tower, yes.

SPEAKER_00 7:34

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_02 7:35

It depends on the character, though. That's true.

SPEAKER_00 7:37

That is true.

SPEAKER_02 7:38

Because you don't want them like somebody pegging you from the back when they're from Pike Club, like you know beat you to a pulp.

SPEAKER_00 7:47

So relationship. So help me out. So what do you think the difference is between? Well, you're a you're a hairdresser, right? So what is it that you see from women that are coming in? Like, what is like, are you completely honest with them or do you tell them what they want to hear?

SPEAKER_02 8:05

Oh. That's a very good question. So I'd have to say it depends on how much money they pay you. That was it depends on how much money they pay me. Uh it also depends on if I feel like the person is receptive to that.

SPEAKER_00 8:24

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 8:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 8:25

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 8:26

I know I don't like to bully people. I'm not a bully.

SPEAKER_00 8:29

No.

SPEAKER_02 8:30

No.

SPEAKER_00 8:30

No. So, like, but so do they come in and they say we'd like this? Like, what happens with somebody who's like, do you believe in the hairstyle or length based on age? Because that is a big question.

SPEAKER_02 8:43

I believe that how you wear it is how you own it. Like, that's just how it is. Like, if you're gonna be 90 and rock your hair long, you can make that look fashionable. I've seen some pretty sexy women like literally up there, you know, like walking through the street and owning their fashion with long silver hair. Like, I just like you know it's absolutely gorgeous. And and I don't think you always have to show face like that. It's nice to be like natural too.

SPEAKER_00 9:08

Right. Who are some of like the people you see in on social media or celebrities that you think are on the older scale that can rock it? And tell me who you think shouldn't rock it.

SPEAKER_02 9:19

Uh Juliana Moore. Like she would look fabulous if she let her gray hair. Actually, the Hunger Games kind of cheated us on that one because we got to see what it looked like with when she wore the silver wig.

SPEAKER_00 9:30

Right.

SPEAKER_02 9:30

She's absolutely stunning. Like she rocks it amazing.

SPEAKER_00 9:33

Yeah, she's beautiful.

SPEAKER_02 9:36

You Nicole Kidman would look amazing, yeah, if she let her if she let her natural grow out. But the thing is, she would probably have to show face. Because she has like that those like very watt like very bland features, so she has to be careful. Like, if you What about her hair length?

SPEAKER_00 9:50

Because I've seen her with short hair and I've seen her with long hair. Plus, she's married to that wonderful hot musician, Keith Urban. Like, like J Lo, for instance. Oh, she's too old to be wearing long hair like that, and this and that. I'm like, I I'm not bel I I think.

SPEAKER_02 10:05

I feel like if you wear it, you can own it. It doesn't matter. Just confidence is key. Like, really.

SPEAKER_00 10:10

Confidence is key.

SPEAKER_02 10:11

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 10:11

I like that.

SPEAKER_02 10:12

That's honestly why I love being in the business I'm in, because it gives people confidence to go into the everyday world and feel fabulous. Like you could be have no makeup on, you could feel like you could even be sick, which by the way, I don't like it when them in sick, but anyway, like you could come in sick and I could do your hair and you could leave and feel fabulous and look good.

SPEAKER_00 10:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 10:33

And that's what I love about it.

SPEAKER_00 10:35

That's awesome. How long have you been in business?

SPEAKER_02 10:38

Uh well, um on my fourth year of business, um, which I just went on my own four years ago, and um prior to that I've been doing hair for 15 years on and off uh for other salons.

SPEAKER_00 10:50

Who, without saying names, because I know you can't.

SPEAKER_02 10:54

Definitely not.

SPEAKER_00 10:55

Who would be your like give me uh an example of a difficult customer?

SPEAKER_02 11:03

Difficult customer. I have a list of people that are 45 minutes late.

SPEAKER_00 11:09

Oh I'm not one of them, am I?

SPEAKER_02 11:12

No.

SPEAKER_00 11:12

Okay. I don't think so, because I'm always on time.

SPEAKER_02 11:15

No, I always put a buffer in there because there's always like, you know, traffic light or whatever. But you know, you have your occasional one that's like, oh, I just got came from lunch, and or they try to tell you they're from somewhere else or they had to pick their kids up, or blah blah blah. And I'm like, oh, kids. Totally kidding. No, they'll just show up late just to show up late. You know, they they know that I accommodate them.

SPEAKER_00 11:36

Give me one good tip that you would give anybody that wants to come in and change their look.

SPEAKER_02 11:43

My tip would be no peanut butter on the d. Because this drink is awful.

SPEAKER_00 11:51

Oh my god. One of the things that we do when we when I sit down in your chair is we just talk about whatever the hell is going on. And like you instantly, you and your husband sang to me when Wicked came out, the entire, entire like show. Like you sang the whole show to me, Wicked. I went and downloaded the soundtrack. And I'm sure you could recite all the lines to it.

SPEAKER_02 12:16

Maybe. I might stumble a little bit.

SPEAKER_00 12:18

What was what was one of the songs?

SPEAKER_02 12:20

Which one?

SPEAKER_00 12:21

Which one? That's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_02 12:22

Like, oh I'm not gonna sing.

unknown 12:24

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 12:26

Me, me, me, me, me, me, me. Hold on, I gotta clear my throat. So we've got Lady Gaga.

SPEAKER_00 12:32

What other shows? Like, when I come into your salon, you got Lady Gaga playing. You you I downloaded her new album.

SPEAKER_02 12:38

Right.

SPEAKER_00 12:38

Fabulous, by the way. Are you gonna go see her?

SPEAKER_02 12:40

Uh, we are not gonna go see her.

SPEAKER_00 12:42

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 12:43

We'll be out of town.

SPEAKER_00 12:44

Oh, okay. I have really, where are you going?

SPEAKER_02 12:47

Somewhere good. Puerto Rico, I hope.

SPEAKER_00 12:49

Is it is she coming here?

SPEAKER_02 12:51

Is who coming here? Lady Gaga. She'll be in Miami at the Cassier Center.

SPEAKER_00 12:55

Oh, I can't believe you're not going. My friends in San Francisco were all going. Dude, they sent me they sent me video. It's freaking awesome. You did go see Kylie Minogue.

SPEAKER_02 13:05

I did see Kylie Minoke.

SPEAKER_00 13:06

And I didn't realize she was this huge, like she's the Madonna of the of Australia.

SPEAKER_02 13:12

Like, she's just amazing. She's changed the face of music in so many ways, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 13:17

I listened to some of her new music too, which is pretty freaking awesome.

SPEAKER_02 13:21

She's amazing.

SPEAKER_00 13:22

I and like I guess the LGBTQ community has like adopted her, like they did with more so than ever, because I didn't even know that until you told me that.

SPEAKER_02 13:31

And Laura Fabian. Sorry, Celine.

SPEAKER_00 13:33

Oh, really? Okay.

SPEAKER_02 13:35

Oh yeah. That whole thing. Have you ever heard Laura Fabian?

SPEAKER_00 13:39

I don't think so.

SPEAKER_02 13:40

Laura Fabian, she has a sound that sounds very similar to um Celine Dion, but she's like, she's kind of like um actually, you probably have heard one of her songs, which I don't remember the name of it right now off the top of my head.

SPEAKER_00 13:53

But And if I try to ask Alexa, she's not gonna answer.

SPEAKER_02 13:56

No, she's not gonna answer. And I'm not singing it, so that doesn't help either.

SPEAKER_00 14:01

I'll play it, I'll I'll play it, I'll play it.

SPEAKER_02 14:06

Anyway, so um, yeah, she's pretty awesome. Um, I would check her out. I would say that anybody should check out Laura Fabian if you haven't.

SPEAKER_00 14:14

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 14:14

And also Kylie Minoke.

SPEAKER_00 14:17

Kylie Minok, yeah, I'm definitely gonna check her out. Would you go see Madonna?

SPEAKER_02 14:22

No.

SPEAKER_00 14:22

Yeah, I I feel the same way.

SPEAKER_02 14:25

You know, I don't know. My thing my my opinion on Madonna is that she I don't know, she kind of she's just mean to her fans.

SPEAKER_00 14:32

Like what do you mean?

SPEAKER_02 14:35

She's rude. She always shows up late. She's I mean, I know it's like a signature. And speaking of, she hates hydrangeas. There was a whole thing with the blue hydrangeas, yes.

SPEAKER_00 14:45

That Madonna hates?

SPEAKER_02 14:46

No joke, yes.

SPEAKER_00 14:47

Really?

SPEAKER_02 14:48

Well, she's you know what she stomped on them because somebody gave them to her and she had her mic on and she accidentally was like, oh my god, it was like a whole thing. Ever ever since then I lost so much respect because I was like, be gracious gracious, you know, like could it be a piece of paper? Maybe a little kid drew the stick figure or something like that. It still supports your bank account.

SPEAKER_00 15:08

So the fact that Madonna treated the crowd like that, does that affect the way you feel about her as a musician and a performer? Like, is that gonna s prevent you or stop you from wanting to go to her concerts or download her music?

SPEAKER_02 15:23

I feel like when you go to a concert to like to like meet people or to when you pay money to go see somebody, you're basically there, you know, to be uplifted, to feel good, to, you know, not to feel abused and unappreciated, and you know, I don't know, it's just a it's a it's a life. So you wouldn't go life anymore.

SPEAKER_00 15:44

Like for that reason alone, you wouldn't go.

SPEAKER_02 15:46

I wouldn't go.

SPEAKER_00 15:46

Like Michael Jackson, like what he did, like there's all these thoughts that he did all this stuff to these kids. I I don't there was never any proof that came out of it, and that didn't stop me from going to see his uh the show that they did on Broadway.

SPEAKER_02 16:00

Right. Well, and the thing is, and that was freaking fabulous. Madonna's the same thing, they both changed the face of music, it's never been the same since both of those those people like they changed the trajectory of of the way music is, you know. So do I appreciate them for that? Yes, but do I want to contribute further? No. Right. I contributed plenty to all of them mansions and all them places and all that she got. Like, you know, I'm like, all right. Like when she wears the M's, I'm like, that's for Mikey. Because I bought that mother over the course of years buying Madonna sh.

SPEAKER_00 16:36

So if we could have anybody invited here and they come here to our podcast, who would that person be? Anybody it could be. Singer.

SPEAKER_01 16:45

Neil Diamond.

SPEAKER_00 16:46

Neil Diamond?

SPEAKER_01 16:47

Really?

SPEAKER_00 16:48

Why?

SPEAKER_01 16:49

Because my husband loves him.

SPEAKER_00 16:51

Oh, that's so sweet.

SPEAKER_02 16:55

Yeah, well, you know. And he'd be fun to make a cocktail with, especially a peanut butter d.

SPEAKER_00 17:02

I don't know. I I I mean, if I don't know, if I had my I would love to kick it back with Morgan Wallin. I just saw that guy in concert. He's a hell of a lot of fun. He's very cute, but he's young. Not too young, but he's young.

SPEAKER_02 17:18

Hey, hey, hey. You know what I say about the youngness.

SPEAKER_00 17:21

I would bring Morgan Wells.

SPEAKER_02 17:23

Oh, younger men and then older women are more sexually compatible. Just so you know, statistically.

SPEAKER_00 17:33

You know, he talks about whiskey. This is f ⁇ ing dick right here.

SPEAKER_02 17:36

Whiskey.

SPEAKER_00 17:37

So, I mean, I don't know. I would love to sit down with him.

SPEAKER_02 17:39

I've never had a problem with the whiskey, that's for sure.

SPEAKER_00 17:44

There's so many people I'd love to sit back and have a cocktail with. So, how'd you make the drink? Tell us about it.

SPEAKER_02 17:50

It was pretty easy if you remember, we just filled the thing with ice, we put a little bit of peanut butter whiskey, and we put two small cans of the ginger beer.

SPEAKER_00 18:00

What's that banana thing?

SPEAKER_02 18:02

Oh, and a splash of the banana liquor.

unknown 18:06

All right.

SPEAKER_00 18:06

It was refreshing. It was good.

SPEAKER_02 18:08

It was refreshing, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 18:20

Morgan Wallen, where the hell are you? I need you to come here and have some whiskey with me, and I need you to sing the song that you wrote co-wrote for your mom because I went to your concert and you didn't sing the song. All that money I spent. I brought myself to the concert, and all I want to do is dance to him, to you singing that song, and Miranda Lambert sang it. Beautifully, but I'd love to have you come and shoot some whiskey with me. Miranda Lambert shoots a fabulous. But I'm waiting for your morning.
