Summary
In this week’s episode, Lo is joined by actress, singer, producer and Dallas Texas native Hayley Orrantia. They take the Lo Lifers deep into their Texas takeover — from Dallas culture shocks to full-blown southern awakenings. Lo enjoyed his first-ever cattle walk, discovered the chaotic glory of Buc-ee’s, and had a spiritual experience with Whataburger (jury’s still out).
The duo breaks down the unhinged magic of garters and mums, the Texan traditions that left Lo questioning every California school dance he ever attended. They spill on the restaurants that were overhyped, the spots that earned the official Lo Life Stamp of Approval, and Lo’s favorite neighborhood in Dallas that low-key feels like its own world.
Hayley also dishes on performing at a massive LGBTQ+ gala — yes, 2,000 gays turning up in the middle of conservative Texas — complete with a charity auction, drag-level energy, and enough sequins to blind a longhorn.
Then it’s time for their new game “Texas or NAH?”, where Lo tests Hayley’s Lone Star patriotism and exposes just how seriously Texans take… being Texan.
It’s an easy, hilarious, comfort-listen with tons of culture, chaos, and cowboy energy. A perfect escape episode.

| 1:25.2 | you are not alone in those feelings. A lot of people are going |
