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? 🔋
