This week, Kiki and Medinah get real about the fine line between being a good friend and doing way too much. From unsolicited advice to judging your friend’s relationship choices, they break down when to speak up—and when to mind your business. Plus, a wild advice letter about dating a “good man” with not-so-good bedroom performance sparks an honest conversation about compatibility, sex, and what really matters in relationships.

This week, we’re outside (literally) with a real Atlanta insider. We’re joined by Shanita, the woman behind @blackgirlsguideatl, and she came through with the blueprint for actually enjoying this city—whether you’re dating, solo, or outside with your girls.

We kick things off with a round of I’m Curious to Know that gets a little personal (as usual), then get into everything Atlanta: where to go, what to do, and how to stop defaulting to the same tired dinner + drinks routine.

From Beltline staples and hidden gems to interactive date ideas, museums, wine tastings, and even where to meet quality men (yes… she gave real strategy), this episode is basically your Atlanta starter pack. We’re talking daytime vibes, girl dates, family-friendly options, and experiences that actually make dating fun again.

We also get into real conversation about confidence, self-worth, and dating from a place of abundance—not desperation. If you’ve ever felt stuck, overlooked, or unsure where to start, this part is for you.

Plus, we highlight some incredible Black-owned businesses, local experiences, and upcoming events you need to add to your list ASAP.

Save this episode, share it with your group chat, and take notes—because Shanita did not come to play. 

Cocktail of the Week:

“Sweet, But Don’t Play With Me”

2 oz vodka
1 oz triple sec
½ oz fresh lemon juice
Splash of soda water

Add ingredients over ice, top with soda water, and stir gently.

This week on CockTales: Dirty Discussions,the conversation gets real about effort, expectations, and the ongoing struggle of trying to meet people halfway… when they’re barely stepping forward.

We’re joined by publicist and conflict coach, Adrienne, of the IPY Agency.  We unpack the imbalance that shows up in dating and relationships — from emotional labor to planning, communication, and consistency — and ask: are we asking for too much, or are people just doing too little?

The episode dives into what “meeting in the middle” actually looks like, how compromise gets misunderstood, and why so many situationships feel one-sided. Of course, we keep it honest, a little petty, and very relatable.Topics Covered:

• What “meeting in the middle” really means in dating
• Feeling like you’re always the one putting in effort
• Unrealistic expectations vs. bare minimum behavior
• Why compromise shouldn’t feel like sacrifice
• Situationship dynamics and uneven energy
• Emotional labor and communication gaps
• Knowing when to adjust… and when to walk away

This week, we’re joined by comedian Keysha E for a fun, slightly chaotic, and very honest conversation about dating, attraction, and figuring out what we actually want. From celebrity crush debates to whether chemistry is just a toxic addiction (yes, we said it), we get into the difference between a good partner and a good time.

We also talk about pretty privilege in comedy, dating in Atlanta vs. LA, finances in relationships, and why “safe” might not be as boring as it sounds. Plus, we answer a listener question about feeling lost in life and share a CockTales story that involves a FaceTime mishap you absolutely don’t want to experience 😭

We kick things off getting to know Keysha—from her journey into comedy to what it’s like being an attractive woman in a space where people don’t always expect you to be funny . The conversation quickly turns into dating (of course), where we unpack everything from celebrity crushes and short king debates to the reality of dating in Atlanta versus Los Angeles.

We get into a deeper conversation about chemistry vs. compatibility—are we chasing that instant spark because it feels good, or because we’ve been conditioned to? And are we overlooking genuinely good partners because they don’t give us that “high”?

We also talk about marriage, financial conversations in relationships, independence, and what it looks like to build with someone instead of waiting until everything is perfect.

In this week’s advice segment, we respond to a listener who’s questioning the point of life and whether everything feels like a performance. It turns into a real conversation about purpose, slowing down, and figuring out what actually brings you joy.

And of course, we wrap things up with CockTales—where Keysha shares a story involving FaceTime that goes very, very left.

This week on CockTales: Dirty Discussions, Kiki and Medinah sit down with LaToya Shambo, founder and CEO of Black Girl Digital and creator of Creator Palooza. From building a platform that celebrates Black creators to negotiating million-dollar brand deals, LaToya breaks down what it really takes to build influence into a real business.

The conversation dives into entrepreneurship, imposter syndrome, and the realities of the creator economy—plus how to determine your value and confidently negotiate what you’re worth. LaToya shares the lessons she learned from working in advertising and media before launching her own company and explains why learning on someone else’s dime can be one of the smartest moves future entrepreneurs make.

They also talk about growth, letting go of old situations, the importance of forgiveness, and why knowing your value—whether in business, relationships, or life—is a practice. If you’ve ever wondered how creators turn content into careers, this episode is packed with insight, honesty, and real talk.

This week on CockTales: Dirty Discussions, we sit down with comedian Trey Moe for a conversation that’s equal parts chaotic and grown. From going through phones and finding out you’re not the only one, to standing firm on financial standards in relationships, Trey explains why he’s quick to say, “You do that again, I’m gone.” But is that emotional maturity… or just control in a cardigan? We also get into:
• Open relationships and “roster” culture
• Financial responsibility and relationship expectations
• Why some women hear “comedian” and think “struggling artist”
• Celibacy, discipline, and personal growth
• Is it hard to date someone who actually holds you accountable?
• Older women, social media posting, and modern dating dynamics Trey shares how growing up fast shaped the man he is today and why growth in relationships isn’t always soft and gentle. Sometimes it’s uncomfortable. Drop a comment below: Is “you do that again, I’m gone” a healthy boundary or a red flag?

BEDUCATED: Kick off your journey by taking the Quiz! https://beducate.me/pd2608-cocktales

This week we’re joined by producer and BET host Brian “B-Mac” McIntosh for an honest conversation about modern dating, boundaries, emotional growth, and what healthy relationships actually look like.

We talk about how dating changes in your 30s, why moving too fast in relationships can create chaos, and how men and women often misunderstand each other when it comes to vulnerability and emotional needs. The conversation dives into casual dating vs commitment, love languages, communication, and the importance of boundaries in modern relationships.

B-Mac opens up about fatherhood, co-parenting, career growth, and learning how to be emotionally available in a world where social media and public opinion never stop talking. We also discuss the pressure to share your life online, handling criticism, and the reality of building relationships while still healing.

If you’ve ever struggled with situationships, dating boundaries, emotional attachment, or figuring out what healthy dating looks like, this episode is for you.

In this episode we discuss:
 • Dating in your 30s vs your 20s
 • Boundaries in relationships
 • Casual dating vs commitment
 • Emotional maturity and vulnerability
 • Love languages and communication
 • Co-parenting and modern fatherhood
 • Healing while dating
 • Social media and relationships

This week on CockTales: Dirty Discussions, we’re asking the real question: Who has shut-up money?!

We kick things off with travel nostalgia and vacation dreams before running straight into the hilarious reality of adulthood. We dive into the chaos of planning family vacations, organizing group trips, setting budgets, and why everyone wants a luxury trip until it’s time to pay the deposit.

In this episode, we talk about:
• The stress of planning trips with friends and family
• Budget conversations nobody wants to have
• The difference between work travel vs real vacations
• Why group chats can’t plan trips to save their lives
• Dream destinations vs real-life responsibilities

Then it’s time for Weird Sex, and this story is truly unforgettable. A shocking medical discovery sparks a conversation about embarrassment, health, and the wild things people do in relationships.

We wrap things up with Valentine’s Day vibes, listener advice, and plenty of laughs along the way.

Cocktail of the Week 🍸The Emotional Intelligence
Smoky, sweet, spicy, and perfectly balanced — just like the conversations.Ingredients
• 2 oz mezcal
• 2 oz pineapple juice

February looks a little different this year… because we are letting men take the mic.
To kick off our February Men’s Series, we are joined by actor, producer, veteran and content creator Mike Bless aka Michael Anthony. This conversation dives deep into dating, emotional healing, masculinity and the realities of modern relationships from a male perspective.

We talk about how men process heartbreak, the role of honesty in dating, why communication looks different for men, and the idea that many men heal quietly instead of publicly. Mike opens up about accountability, emotional vulnerability, dating expectations and the importance of being honest about intentions early.

Of course, we also get into power dynamics in relationships, monogamy vs honesty, the Atlanta dating scene, men wearing purses (yes, we went there), and why giving space in early dating might actually be healthy.

This episode kicks off a full month of real conversations with men about love, growth, healing and relationships — and we are listening.

Cocktail of the Week: The Leading Man


Ingredients
2 oz bourbon
 1 oz blood orange juice
 ½ oz simple or honey syrup
 2 dashes Angostura bitters

Are you getting a good Relationship ROI, or are you just operating in chaos? This week, Kiki and Medinah discuss the importance of intentionality—from your wellness routine to your brunch dates. We’re diving into why separated checks at a bottomless mimosa brunch might actually be the ultimate green flag for clarity.

In This Episode: The ladies discuss the transition from "brunch friends" to "real life" support and why Medinah appreciated a guy friend being 100% upfront about financial boundaries. We also get into the "weird sex" story of the week: a romantic shower that turned into an Olympic sport when the curtain rod gave up. Plus, Kiki talks about the struggle of people always "outsourcing" their work to her—from party planning to free makeup sessions.

We also cover:

• Intentional Health: Why your "Relationship ROI" starts with your own rest and wellness.
  
  
  
• The "Ghost" Eyebrow Incident: Why you should always have a backup makeup artist.
  
  
• Advice: Navigating a friendship that went cold during a season of grief and new motherhood.
