Cocktales with Kiki

This week on CockTales with Kiki, R&B singer Zae France pulls up, and we're getting into love, lies, and the songs that come out of both. 🎤🍸Zae gets real about cheating when he was younger, why lying is way too exhausting to keep up with, and the time he wrote a song that turned out to be about his brother's situation. Plus: the one song he wrote on purpose about a woman (and whether she knows), artists who don't write their own music, growing up singing in church, and why he loves the stage but wants to be left alone off of it.Then we get into family business. Do you tell your siblings the truth about who they're dating? What if it happens right in front of you? And just in time for the holidays, we take a Sip & Spill call from a listener whose good man has a little too much "five-year plan" energy.Grab this week's cocktail, Final Say, and pull up a chair. Because every sip has a story. 🥂💬 LET'S TALK: Would you tell your sibling the truth about who they're dating, even if they're not done yet?🔔 Subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with a friend who loves a good story!Follow Zae France: Zae France on all streaming platforms.

This week on **CockTales with Kiki**, comedian, actress, writer, and content creator **Jamila Bell** is ringing ALL the bells—and we're getting in everybody's business! 🔔🍸From dating disasters and cheating exes to questionable Thanksgiving plates and the chaos of motherhood, Kiki and Jamila are cutting up, cracking jokes, and sharing stories that probably should've stayed in the group chat.Jamila gets candid about her love life, why she's never dated a man funnier than her, the time another woman called her from her boyfriend's phone, and why some relationships are strictly **for the plot**. Plus, she takes us behind the scenes of creating her new sketch comedy pilot and shares how she's turning years of content creation into something bigger.But the mess doesn't stop there! We're debating whether couples content is cringe, how to handle friends who turn into liabilities on vacation, why gentle parenting isn't for the weak, and what happens when somebody brings terrible mac and cheese to Thanksgiving. And just when you think we've covered everything, Jamila closes things out with a bedroom story featuring a man who barely made it past the starting line. 😭Grab a glass of this week's cocktail, **Ring My Bell**, and get ready for plenty of laughs, unsolicited opinions, and a whole lot of foolishness.**Because every sip has a story—and this week, we've got SEVERAL!** 🥂🔔 Subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with a friend who loves a good story!Follow Jamila Bell @_iamjamilaBrooklyn BeddingGo to brooklynbedding.com and use my promo code COCKTALESPOD at checkout to get 30% off sitewide during the Veteran's Day Sale.

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?

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.Follow Kiki: @kikisaidsoFollow the podcast: @cocktalespodcastJoin the Patreon: https://patreon.com/cocktales#CockTalesWithKiki #Storytime #DatingStories #BaliTravel #PodcastFollow Kiki: @kikisaidsoFollow the podcast: @cocktalespodcastJoin the Patreon: https://patreon.com/cocktales#CockTalesWithKiki #Storytime #DatingStories #BaliTravel #PodcastContact us!Advice: [email protected]: [email protected] can also leave a voicemail instead of an email for advice and cocktales!! 404-692-0039Try DRIVEBOOST and use code cocktales for 10%offRight now, Arya is offering our listeners $10 off your first month at getarya.om/cocktalesGet 25%off at loveunlimited.com/cocktalesJoin Patreon to help support the show! www.patreon.com/cocktalesGet Your Merch & Order Your Card Game  www.imcurioustoknow.comBali 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. Grab your cocktail and get into it!Have some messy business you need to get off your chest?
