On Mashable's Say More, hosts Kristy Puchko (Mashable's Entertainment Editor) and Mark Stetson (Senior Creative Producer) bring humor and their trusted insights to the biggest shows, films, digital trends, and cultural moments. From viral-worthy rants and passionate raves to smart recaps and first-look teasers, they cover what everyone is talking about. Celebrity guests join the conversation for real talk about their careers, upcoming projects, and what’s trending online.

New episodes every Friday.


There's nothing better than a good drink, a great circle of friends, and some piping hot tea.

It's little wonder then that Dropout's Dirty Laundry has been enticing fans for five seasons and counting. Each episode, dazzling host Lily Du and bantering bartender Grant O'Brien gather together four guest stars to share their wildest stories. For added fun, there's a game element: Can you guess whose dirty laundry is being aired?

Following the fifth season, Dirty Laundry's stars brought their gossipy game to SXSW for a live audience to enjoy. But before their big show, Du and O'Brien came by Mashable's SXSW Say More studio for some conversation about cocktails, mocktails, soap opera acting, and much, much more.

The video above features the first chunk of our interview. For more — including Du's thoughts on her Game Changer breast milk taste test and O'Brien's proud representation of chaotic bisexuals — be sure to check out the full episode on YouTube.

And for more Dirty Laundry, check out Dropout.
