    Last week we kicked off our “Who Said That?” recap, and this week we’re back with Part 2 — more wild clips, iconic one-liners, and a few moments that reminded us why CockTales is funny and deep when it wants to be.

    This episode is a continuation of last week’s trip down memory lane, pulling standout moments from different years of the show. Some clips had us crying laughing, some had us side-eyeing ourselves, and others took a surprisingly thoughtful turn — because if we’re gonna reflect, we might as well do it honestly.

    We talk fashion eras (yes, the Martha Stewart linen phase still stands), dating boundaries, bad decisions we didn’t make, and the difference between being open-minded and being open to everything (spoiler: not the same).

    We also get into why “sex is a skill,” why everybody with a microphone is not a licensed expert, and why sometimes the real growth is knowing when to stop, sit still, and get yourself together. As always, there’s plenty of foolishness, a little ministry, and a lot of “did she really say that?” energy. If you haven’t listened to Part 1, go run that back first — then come join us here. 🍹

    Cocktail of the Episode French 75… But Make It Therapy

    You’ll need:
    • Sparkling wine
    • Vanilla vodka
    • Simple syrup
    • Bailey’s (or RumChata) foam
    • Lemon twist
    How to make it:
    Shake Bailey’s with a small splash of simple syrup until frothy. Pour vanilla vodka into a flute, top with sparkling wine, gently spoon the foam on top, and garnish with a lemon twist. Do not rush the foam unless you want chaos in a glass. 🗣 Topics We Get Into:
    • Recapping iconic CockTales quotes and moments from past years
    • The Martha Stewart / Ina Garten aesthetic debate (still unresolved)
    • Dating boundaries, self-control, and learning when to say no
    • Why being open-minded doesn’t mean being open to everything
    • The difference between licensed professionals and internet “experts”
    • Taking breaks from dating without guilt
    • Why sex, intimacy, and communication are skills you can actually learn
    • Free and low-cost resources people sleep on (libraries, schools, clinics, and more)
    • Growth, reflection, and recognizing patterns in yourself

  • "WHO SAID THAT" 2025 YEAR IN REVIEW
    Jan 8 2026
    It’s time to look back… and immediately ask ourselves, “Wait—who said that?!”
    In Part 1 of this two-part recap episode, Kiki and Medinah revisit some of the wildest, funniest, most unhinged moments from 2025 (with a few older classics sprinkled in), reacting to past clips in real time and reliving everything from comedian guests and dating rants to weird sex stories, hair debates, pop culture takes, and those signature CockTales side quests that somehow always lead back to food.

    This episode is pure commentary chaos:
    – Comedians we loved (and clips that still hold up… mostly)
    – Dating opinions that aged interestingly
    – Hair, weaves, man-weaves, and why honesty matters
    – Weird sex facts that somehow turn into social commentary
    – Pop culture deep dives (yes, including Game of Thrones)
    – Rants that start one place and end somewhere completely different

    Think of this as a highlight reel with commentary, context, and a little “wow… we really said that” energy. And don’t worry — this is just Part 1. There’s plenty more where this came from.
    🎧 Listen, laugh, argue with us in your head, and let us know in the comments which clips took you OUT.

    🍸 Today’s Cocktail: The Velvet Revolution

    Smooth, cozy, and perfect for a recap episode.
    Ingredients
    1.5 oz Baileys
    1 oz vanilla vodka or dark rum
    1 oz cold brew coffee or espresso (optional, but highly encouraged)
    Ice
    Nutmeg or cinnamon (for garnish)

    How to Make It
    Add Baileys, vodka or rum, and cold brew to a shaker filled with ice.
    Shake well until chilled and silky.
    Strain into a coupe or rocks glass.
    Sprinkle nutmeg or cinnamon on top and enjoy.

    Cheers to closing out 2025 and easing into 2026 — raspy voices, hot takes, and all. 🥂

  • Ep. 473 When Honesty Gets Uncomfortable with Kiara "Kiki Said So" Walker and Medinah Monroe
    Dec 27 2025
    In this episode, Kiki and Medinah get into one of the hardest parts of adulthood: how to say uncomfortable things with love, tact, and intention. What starts as a casual conversation quickly turns into a deeper discussion about honesty, boundaries, emotional awareness, and why so many people avoid hard conversations altogether.

    From awkward truths like bad breath and body odor to deeper emotional feedback that can strain friendships and relationships, the ladies unpack why delivery matters just as much as truth. They talk about when honesty is helpful versus harmful, how personal experiences shape our ability to receive feedback, and why avoidance often feels easier than vulnerability.

    The episode also explores relationship expectations, emotional maturity, and a listener write-in that sparks a real conversation about compatibility, communication, and knowing when something just isn’t aligned. Along the way, Kiki reflects on personal growth, past embarrassment, family dynamics, and learning how to pause before reacting, especially when emotions are high.

    This is a funny, honest, and thought-provoking episode about growth, self-awareness, and learning how to communicate without tearing people down — or disappearing when things get uncomfortable.

    If you’ve ever struggled with telling the truth, hearing the truth, or figuring out how to say the hard thing without hurting someone, this episode is for you.

  • The Truth About ‘Vibes’ Dating: Why Men Think Basic Questions Are ‘Too Much’
    Dec 11 2025

    This week, we’re talking about vibes — the good ones, the delusional ones, and the ones men swear should replace actual communication. After mixing up our refreshing pH Balance Cocktail, we dig into Medina’s viral moment about dating communication and the wild comments from men who think asking, “What podcasts do you listen to?” is somehow “too much.”

    We also get into:• A listener’s essential-oil disaster (peppermint should NOT go everywhere)
    • Why communication is not “being nosy”
    • New men in elevators & unexpected meet-cutes
    • Cat-mama initiation tips from Black women with cats
    • Atlanta life updates, Friendsgiving stories & deconstructed pies
    • What dating looks like when you’re grown, busy, and intentional

    🍸 pH BALANCE COCKTAIL
    2 oz vodka
    1 oz fresh lemon juice
    0.75 oz honey syrup or simple syrup
    Splash of cranberry juice
    2–3 cucumber slices
    Club soda to top
    Garnish: cucumber wheel or lemon twist

    How to make it:

    Muddle the cucumber gently in a shaker. Add vodka, lemon juice, and honey. Shake. Strain over ice in a tall glass, add a splash of cranberry, top with club soda, and garnish. Announcements and promos are at the end — don’t miss them!

    Dec 4 2025
    Try Beducated and use code COCKTALES for 50% off your annual membership https://beducate.me/pd2549-cocktales #BEDUCATED #getbeducated

    We’re shaking up the holiday season with a cocktail that tastes like Christmas, cozy vibes, and just a little bit of sin. This week’s drink is the Naughty Nog Martini, a frothy eggnog latte moment that somehow led us straight into one of the wildest public emergency stories ever told on CockTales.

    🍸 Naughty Nog (Eggnog Latte Martini) Recipe
    Ingredients:

    • 1–2 oz vanilla vodka

    • 1 oz eggnog

    • 1.5 oz cold brew or espresso

    • 0.5 oz simple syrup (optional if you like it sweeter)

    • Dash of cinnamon or nutmeg

    • Ice

    Instructions:
    Add everything to a shaker with ice. Shake hard until frothy, strain into a martini glass, and top with cinnamon or nutmeg. Sip slowly… because clearly, this drink has consequences.

    Once the cocktails hit, we dive into:

    ✨ Holiday traditions and why cheesy Lifetime movies still eat every time
    ✨ All Her Fault theories, plot twists, and why Kiki is ready to write and direct
    ✨ Medina’s acting dreams and the monologue she’s already prepared
    ✨ Theme night prep: Dirty Disney, North Pole After Dark, In Living Color, and Strip Club Night
    ✨ Plane farts, airplane germs, and why those blankets are not your friends
    ✨ A full-on stomach betrayal that led to a Ziploc bag, a frantic phone call, and an emergency Chick-fil-A pit stop

    We also get into supporting partners with mental health struggles, TikTok conspiracy holes, dog-nap nightmares, Carry-On Only delusion, and why sometimes you just have to end the whole day and start over.

    This episode has holiday chaos, movie talk, outfit planning, questionable decisions, and a very public emergency that will absolutely have you hollering.Grab a Naughty Nog and press play — we warned you.

  • Paper Pregnant, Real Hormones: Lindsay Diann on Baby Joy, Loss & Ride-or-Die Friendships
    Nov 28 2025
    In this week’s episode, actress, writer, producer and professional on-screen villain Lindsay Diann pulls up for a raw, funny, and deeply honest conversation about being paper pregnant, navigating miscarriage, and stepping into baby joy after loss. She shares what it was really like inducing her missed miscarriage at home, how hormones had her feeling unhinged, and what partners should—and shouldn’t—do when you’re carrying that emotional load alone.

    We dive into the mental shift from “outside girl” to “intentional woman,” why friendships change when marriages and babies enter the chat, and how to be a better friend when someone in your circle goes through trauma. Lindsay also spills on playing the unhinged Leslie on “The Team”, the joy of being a villain, and what’s next for her production company, LA Elite Productions, including her upcoming films “Girls Night,” “The Perfect Proposal,” and “Curious.”

    And because every episode needs something in the glass, today’s drink is the Prego-Rita — a citrusy mocktail with a sparkling-wine upgrade for the girls who aren’t pregnant.

    🍹 Today’s Cocktail: The Prego-Rita (Mocktail + Cocktail) Base:
    • 2 oz fresh lime juice or alcohol-free margarita mix
    • 1 oz fresh orange juice
    • 1 oz agave syrup
    • Club soda to top
    • Optional: salt/Tajín rim + jalapeño slices
    Cocktail Add-On:
    • 2 oz sparkling wine
    Directions:
    Shake lime, orange, and agave over ice. Pour into a rimmed glass over fresh ice.
    Mocktail: top with club soda.
    Cocktail: add sparkling wine, then top with club soda.
    Garnish with jalapeño for a spicy kick.

  • GRIEF, HEDO, & THE ER
    Nov 15 2025
    We are back in the studio with Cocktales Chardonnay in our glasses and a lot on our hearts.This week Kiki and Medinah catch you up on everything from Hedonism in Jamaica after Hurricane Melissa to one of the wildest Weird Sex stories we have had in a minute. Kiki shares how the resort staff has been impacted, why she is turning her suitcase into a donation bin, and how you can help if you feel called to give. Medinah talks about Paradise & Vibe’s Traveler’s Resort family, the fundraiser in Jamaica and why natural disasters hit different when you know the people affected.We also get into robot taxis glitching in Atlanta, Kiki’s fever app mock trial experience where the audience decides who is guilty in an AI car accident, and Medinah’s grown woman announcements, including her holiday tablescaping class with her interior designer and a full wellness retreat in Istanbul, Turkey.A listener writes in about an ER trauma case where a woman comes in after being hit by a car, gets scanned head to toe, and the entire team discovers a plug sitting pretty on the CT. From toys to MRIs and lying about metal in your body, we take it there.Then the episode takes a tender turn. Medinah opens up about putting her dog Shai down, what led up to that heartbreaking vet visit, the costs, the process and the grief of coming home to an empty hallway, a leash in the car and a quiet house after more than a decade with her best friend. She reflects on a long season of letting go, trusting God, and learning healthier coping mechanisms than she had when she first got Chi.Kiki shares her own life updates too, including a Leo and Teyana Taylor film premiere, more thoughts on AI car trials, using the Fever app to find things to do, and why Atlanta actually has plenty of food and fun if you stop following only the “lit” IG spots. The ladies swap date recommendations like Midtown Social’s R&B Bingo, Cirque du Soleil, museums, sushi classes and even ballroom dancing.They close with some real talk about how podcasts and creator work are actually funded, why your subscription, reviews and shares really matter, and how you can support CockTales without going broke in this economy. Plus, Medinah invites listeners to join her for a Meals on Wheels Atlanta volunteer day and reminds anyone struggling that there are resources and community waiting.If you have ever loved a pet like a family member, felt stuck in grief, or just needed a reminder that you can cry and still get cute for a date and a concert, this episode is for you.Interested in being a guest?
