Cocktales with Kiki
Cocktales with Kiki is the place where cocktails meet candid conversation, hosted by Kiki Said So. What started with wild stories about sex, dating, and relationships has grown into something bigger: the kind of conversations you have over dinner with your girls, in the group chat at 2 a.m., or after somebody says, “Okay, but can I tell y’all what REALLY happened?”From love, friendship, and questionable decisions to pop culture, travel, internet rabbit holes, and whatever has Kiki curious this week, nothing is too random to make it to the table. Some weeks Kiki is riding solo, other weeks...
Interview With A Vampire with Nya The Vampire
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 figu...
Love, Friendship & Other Bad Decisions ft. Mandii B
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 who...
Don't Make Me Match Your Energy
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, unexpect...
The RSVP | Who Shows Up,Who Flakes, And What It Really Means
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 involv...
PROSECCO, PLOT TWISTS & POOR DECISIONS ft. Dree Taylor
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...
Cheers To The Girls' Weekend! Reality Recaps & Revenge ft. Dree Taylor
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...
The Next Chapter: New Studio, New Show, Same Ol' Kiki
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...
Special Delivery: "The End of an Era" ft. Medinah Monroe
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...
Is It the Move… or Is Mercury Drinking Gatorade Again?
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 ma...

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...
Ep. 497 "The Neighborhood Watch"
This week, Kiki is taking roll call: Production, where y’all at?
From the pressure to be a “girl’s girl” to the very real question of whether we need everybody to like us, Kiki gets into the complicated ways we show up for other women, and when “support” turns into blindly backing somebody who may be dead wrong.
She also addresses the nosy-bitch paradox: Why do we hate when people are in our business… but suddenly know exactly who to call when we need the tea? Is being nosy actually the problem, or is it what peo...

Kiki and guest co-host Dree Taylor are back with another hilarious and chaotic episode of CockTales: Dirty Discussions.

“You Say You Deserve Better… So Why Are You Still There?”
This week on CockTales: Dirty Discussions, we’re unpacking a word we use all the time but rarely question… deserve.
What does it actually mean to deserve something? Is it earned… aligned… or just something we say we want?
From dating standards and “soft life” expectations to the reality of accepting less than we claim we deserve, we get real about confidence, self-worth, and the disconnect between what we say and how we move.

From international trips to real-life mentorship, they’re shaping the next generation of women in a major way.

Hydration Station & Doomsday Delusions
This week on CockTales: Dirty Discussions, we start things off light with a “hydration station” cocktail (because apparently water is the drink of the day 😭) before spiraling into a conversation that goes everywhere — and we mean everywhere. From reflections on Harriet Tubman’s no-nonsense leadership to debates about whether we’d survive the apocalypse, the girls get into family compounds, doomsday prepper plans, and what skills actually matter when everything falls apart. Let’s just say… not everyone is making the cut. Somehow, we also find time to debate fast food favorites, question what’s really in our food, and discuss helping...
Are You a Good Friend… or Doing Too Much?

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?
