Cocktales with Kiki

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.

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.Drive Boost- Try it Today by visiting vb.health and using code cocktales!Contact us!Advice: [email protected]: [email protected] can also leave a voicemail instead of an email for advice and cocktales!! 404-692-0039Join Patreon to help support the show! www.patreon.com/cocktalesGet Your Merch & Order Your Card Game  www.imcurioustoknow.comBali With Kiki! The Travel Tribe Experience: https://travel.kikisaidso.com/BaliGet Klassy Baste!

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.Every sip has a story. 🍸Follow Nya!@nyathevampire @nyathegod @yammsburlesque Get Your tix to Yamms Fest at www.yammsfest.comSponsors:INDACLOUDIf you’re 21 or older, get 30% OFF your first order @IndaCloud with code COCKTALES at https://inda.shop/COCKTALES ! #indacloudpod SOAKING WETMake every encounter slipperier, sexier, and downright sensational.

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.Follow me! @kikisaidso & @cocktalespodcastContact Me!Advice: [email protected]: [email protected]: [email protected] Sip & Spill where I sip and you spill: 404-692-0039Sponsors/Special Offers:DRIVE BOOSTVisit vb.health and use code COCKTALES for 10% off or click the link in the episode description.BROOKLYN BEDDINGGo to brooklynbedding.com and use my promo code COCKTALESPOD at checkout to get 30% off sitewideduring the LABOR DAY SALE.
