This week on CockTales with Kiki, we’re mixing vodka, lime, club soda, and a splash of delusion for a cocktail called “What the Hell Is Going On Anyway?” Honestly, it fits. Kiki catches us up on her kitchen adventures, from jerk oxtail to chicken shawarma, plus gardening, dinner-party plans, Halloween, and the fine art of dilly-dallying through life. The conversation takes a few turns through exes, dating and money, ancestry, family secrets, trauma bonds, and reincarnation. There’s also plenty to catch up on in reality TV, including The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City and Potomac. Then it’s time for Sip and Spill: friend group gossip, when to set boundaries with family, and navigating long-distance dating. Grab your cocktail, get comfortable, and come sip and spill with Kiki. How do you spend your time dilly-dallying? Got a story, dating dilemma, or question for Kiki? Call 404-692-0039 and stick around to help choose the next cruise! 🎙️ **CockTales with Kiki** — Every sip has a story.

I went to Bali to find my peace, prayed for God to remove everything that wasn't meant for me, and came home to a LAYOFF! 😭 Be careful what you pray for, because apparently God does same-day processing! This week on **CockTales with Kiki**, I'm catching y'all up on my Bali girls' trip, the luxury villas, wild group challenges, spiritual revelations, and why I'm seriously considering relocating my entire nervous system overseas. But the real plot twist? After 12 years at my radio job, I got called into the office just to be laid off! We're talking unexpected life changes, career transitions, knowing your worth, and whether Venus retrograde has everybody's life in shambles. Is this a setback or the blessing I've been asking for? And because this is CockTales, we can't get too inspirational without getting into some MESS! 😂 In this week's **Sip & Spill**, one listener shares a disastrous date with a lawyer who couldn't afford the drinks but somehow still managed to talk a big game in the bedroom. Another listener is caught in some strange best friend and marriage drama that leaves me with more questions than answers. Plus, we've got a spicy international hookup story from South Korea! We're talking dating disasters, broke men, friendship drama, travel adventures, spiritual resets, starting over, and learning when it's time to let things go. Have you ever asked God or the universe to remove something from your life, only to regret how quickly it happened? And what's the craziest dating experience you've ever had? 🎙️ **CockTales with Kiki** — Every sip has a story.

Some of y'all have fake friends, some of y'all talk too damn much, and some of y'all are planning weddings with men who don't even like you. We have a LOT to discuss! Kiki is back for a hilariously unfiltered solo episode of CockTales with Kiki, and this week, she's got questions. Why do people pretend to like someone just to keep a business connection? Is your friend copying your style because she admires you, or is she trying to steal your whole life? And why does your best friend know every intimate detail about your relationship? Before getting into the advice emails, Kiki takes a few hilarious detours through chaotic reality TV, The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia, Game of Thrones family dynasties, overrated baby showers, matcha obsession, and why everybody's boyfriend doesn't need to come to girls' night. Then things get messy in Ask Kiki, where we're tackling: Fake friends who secretly dislike each otherA copycat bestie who's taking imitation a little too farWhether to tell your friend you hate the man she's planning to marryHow much relationship business is TOO much to share with your friendsIt's friendship drama, dating advice, questionable behavior, and a whole lot of minding everybody else's business. Because Kiki might not always take her own advice, but she's got plenty for everybody else! Every sip has a story. Grab your cocktail and get into it! Have some messy business you need to get off your chest?

Comedian, actress, author, and professional truth-teller Ms. Pat joins Kiki for a conversation that goes exactly where you’d expect it to… and then completely off the rails.Ms. Pat is celebrating her new book, Miss American Dream, and opens up about how her idea of “making it” has changed over the years. From once believing success looked like a house with a white picket fence to realizing that family, happiness, and breaking generational cycles are the real dream, she reflects on everything it took to build the life she has now.The two get into believing in yourself when nobody else does, separating friendship from business, learning to set boundaries as your success grows, knowing when it’s time to let people go, and why everyone around you can’t automatically come along for the ride.Of course, it wouldn’t be CockTales without things getting a little chaotic. Kiki finds out very quickly that she would’ve made a TERRIBLE drug dealer, Ms. Pat explains why Kiki has absolutely no street in her, and a Sip & Spill about a one-sided friendship turns into some brutally honest advice about jealousy, fake friends, and trusting what you already know.Plus, Ms. Pat talks about her marriage, raising a house full of kids, turning painful life experiences into comedy, her upcoming projects, and why after everything she’s survived and accomplished, happiness is still the ultimate American dream.Grab a drink because Ms. Pat came to tell the truth, hurt a few imaginary feelings, and leave absolutely no room for excuses.

This week, Kiki sits down with Nya the Vampire, the woman behind Atlanta’s all-Black burlesque revue, YAMMS, for a conversation all about confidence, sensuality, and taking up space unapologetically. Nya breaks down what burlesque really is, what people can expect at a show, and how the art form can help women reconnect with their bodies, femininity, and confidence. They also get into seduction, self-expression, feeling sexy without performing for anybody else, and what happens when you stop waiting for permission to be bold. Whether you’re already comfortable being the center of attention or still figuring out how to own the room, this one is your reminder that confidence is a practice — and sometimes you just need a little glitter, a little nerve, and a whole lot of audacity.

Nya joins us to break down what it really means to live as a vampire, separating the Hollywood myths from the reality of her day-to-day existence.

It’s Kiki’s birthday episode, and Mandii B is back on the couch — which means there was never a chance this conversation was going to stay on one topic. Kiki and Mandii catch up on friendship, getting older, cutting people off, dating across age groups, and what it means when the relationships you’ve had for years no longer fit the person you’re becoming. Mandii also gets candid about being solo poly, why marriage and kids aren’t part of her end goal, navigating jealousy in non-monogamous relationships, and why knowing exactly what you want makes dating a whole lot easier. Of course, things get messy along the way. They get into who can and cannot say the N-word, why some people are obsessed with leaving a “legacy” through children, the pressure women put on romantic relationships, AI helping the girlies text men, rich auntie expectations, and whether people actually like the people they’re dating. Then Ask Kiki brings the perfect dilemma for Mandii: a listener is considering opening her relationship… except her boyfriend already has a coworker picked out. Is that ethical non-monogamy or just cheating with extra paperwork? And because Mandii is Mandii, she closes things out with a CockTale from Jamaica involving a nude pool, a very forward woman, a sea urchin, and a trip to the nurse’s station that somehow only gets wilder from there. Pour something bubbly and get into it — because this one is equal parts friendship, sex, relationships, hot takes, and pure chaos. Every sip has a story.

What happens when somebody switches up on you — do you protect your peace, address it, or give them exactly the same energy back? This week on CockTales with Kiki, Kiki gets into the difference between setting a boundary and just being petty, why changed energy can tell you everything you need to know, and whether “matching energy” is actually empowering… or just letting somebody else dictate how you move. Then Sip & Spill takes a turn when a caller shares a situation involving an ex resurfacing and a baby, raising some very real questions about old relationships, unexpected circumstances, and what happens when the past comes knocking with a whole new set of complications. Plus: flaky friends, knowing who really shows up for you, and why sometimes the best response to weird energy is not matching it at all.Every sip has a story — and this one comes with boundaries.

In this solo episode of CockTales with Kiki, Kiki gets into what it really means to show up — for your friends, your relationships, and yourself. After a Sip & Spill caller admits she’s nervous about planning a party only to have people cancel, the conversation opens up into flakiness, dating etiquette, last-minute cancellations, and the difference between protecting your peace and simply being inconsiderate. Kiki also answers an Ask Kiki letter from a listener who feels like she’s wasting her twenties waiting for the next chapter of her life to finally begin, plus another very different dilemma involving a boyfriend, old sex videos, and one extremely questionable camera roll. From RSVP anxiety to mixed signals and learning how to enjoy your life before everything is perfectly figured out, this episode is about who shows up, who flakes, and what it really means.

Every sip has a story… and apparently one glass of Prosecco has about 20. Dree Taylor is back, and this week we're catching up on everything from the RHOA reunion and our latest reality TV opinions to moving drama, family updates, expensive weddings, questionable decisions and the very real possibility that Whitley almost sent somebody to the First 48. Then the stories start STORYING. We get into some absolutely unhinged listener submissions—including a workplace hookup with more parts than a Netflix limited series—and Dree and I add a few confessions of our own. Somewhere along the way we're talking broken beds, sex on vacation, old flames, bad decisions, and why some stories only get funnier once enough time has passed. Grab a drink and come sit with us.

Dree Taylor is back, and apparently all we needed was a cocktail and a microphone to cover every possible topic known to womanhood. We start with a truly unhinged edition of Weird Sex featuring jewelry made out of semen (yes, you read that correctly), then head to Westeros to discuss dragons, questionable family trees and why Kiki still needs somebody willing to cut a head off on her behalf. From there, we get into the Housewives friendship fallout, men with multiple wives, childhood crimes involving acorn pies, and whether there should be a statute of limitations on airing your ex out online. Somehow, we also end up planning Kiki’s funeral—complete with a hologram, a snatched casket body, possible haunting privileges and a plan to turn her ashes into a diamond. Because obviously.  Then we get a little serious about friendship when a listener asks what to do when she realizes she may be the only thing keeping her friend group alive. Is it time for an honest conversation…or time to let that group chat die in peace?  Plus: moving woes, air-mattress celibacy, and a little Bali temptation for anybody who wants to join the girls’ trip.  Pour something strong. **Cheers to the girls’ weekend!** 🥂 Sponsors: VB Health Make every encounter slipperier, sexier, and downright sensational.

Welcome to **The Next Chapter of CockTales with Kiki** — new studio, new show, but don’t worry… it’s still the same ol’ Kiki. In this first official episode of the new era, Kiki is catching Production up on what’s changing, what’s staying exactly the same, and why CockTales is becoming even more like the group chat you never want to mute. We’re still talking **sex, dating, relationships and all the questionable decisions that come with them**, but now we’ve got even more room for pop culture, friendship, travel, life updates, random thoughts and whatever else has Kiki asking, “Am I the only one wondering this?” This week, a listener needs advice about mismatched sex drives and how to help his “good girl” girlfriend tap into her freakier side. Kiki has thoughts about libido, intimacy, foreplay, romance novels, sexual compatibility and why sometimes the answer isn’t another position — it’s actually talking to your partner. Then it’s time for the debut of **Questions That Need Answers**, including why everyone stands up the second a plane lands, why Atlanta restaurants insist on turning dinner into the club, and why the quietest person in the group chat somehow knows everybody’s business. Plus, **Sip & Spill** is officially open! One listener calls the Nightcap Number with a wild work-trip hookup involving a little heartbreak, a fine man, several drinks and one unforgettable one-night stand. New chapters don’t mean becoming somebody different. Sometimes they just mean making more room for who you already are. **In this episode:** sex and relationship advice, mismatched libidos, sexual compatibility, dating and intimacy, one-night stands, workplace hookups, friendship and group chat drama, solo podcast life, pop culture, travel talk, listener confessions and the beginning of a brand-new CockTales era. 🍸 **Sip responsibly.

It’s the end of an era...but not CockTales. Medinah returns to CockTales one final time to share what she’s been up to, what she’s learned during this season of transition, and why she made the difficult decision to step away from the show after nearly 500 episodes. Kiki and Medinah reflect on growing up publicly, doing things scared, navigating new relationships, unlearning old patterns, and accepting when something meaningful no longer aligns with the direction your life is taking. They also discuss the pressure to give people every detail, why closure does not always come with a dramatic explanation, and how walking away does not have to erase the love, memories, and work that came before it. There are tears, laughter, old CockTales memories, a few final confessions, and an honest goodbye to the chapter they created together. Thank you to everyone who listened, supported, laughed, traveled, attended live shows, and grew alongside CockTales over the years. One chapter is closing, but the story is far from over. Stick around. Kiki has a few tricks up her sleeve, and next week, the new chapter begins.

Kiki is recording on fumes in the middle of moving week, surrounded by boxes, broken nails, damaged furniture, and enough bickering to make her wonder whether the stress is coming from the move or Mercury being in Gatorade again. She shares the chaotic reality of combining households with her man that’s not her man, why his approach to the homebuying process has left her feeling out of the loop, and how to support a partner who is stressed without sounding controlling or turning into their unpaid project manager. Kiki also breaks down how Mercury retrograde may be affecting communication, relationships, collaborations, and major life transitions, plus what everyone should watch for during the post-retrograde shadow period. Then, she opens up a conversation about breakups, closure, ghosting, and whether every relationship deserves an exit interview. Production, tap in with your advice, and get ready for Sip & Spill, the new segment where listeners can call the Nightcap Number with anonymous confessions, questions, and stories before drunk-texting their ex.

QTNA: Questions That Need Answers Kiki has questions…and apparently, y’all are production now, so it’s time to clock in. 😂 This week, she’s catching you up on the chaos, the changes happening behind the scenes at CockTales, and why some updates may need to stay on mute until the keys are in hand. Then we’re getting into the real questions that need answers: Are your friends’ former hookups permanently off limits? Is keeping it a secret worse than actually doing it? Have you ever seen a man so fine you didn’t care if you or your homegirl got him—as long as SOMEBODY did? Why don’t men listen? And when does “being the bigger person” stop being maturity and start feeling like self-abandonment? Plus, Kiki wants to know why everybody is so serious on the internet, why some of y’all stopped listening to CockTales, what brought you back, and most importantly…what’s going to make you stay? Grab a drink, get in the comments, and answer the damn questions. QTNA. 🍸 VB Health- Try DRIVE BOOST Get 10% off DRIVE BOOST from VB Health with code COCKTALES visit vb.health today Contact us!
