We’re back! And this week’s episode of CockTales: Dirty Discussions has range, okay? From backshots and braids to funerals and family group pics, we cover it all. Kiki talks about heading to Louisiana a few hours after recording for her grandfather’s funeral and gives an update on the emotional rollercoaster that came with it (yes, grandma got her group photo and yes, it’s on YouTube). Meanwhile, Medinah just took her braids out in the most luxurious way and is deep in her "enjoy and romanticize every moment" era.  We’re talking young love, grown crushes, being a tender-headed Black girl just trying to function, and the ridiculous things we believed about sex back in the day. There’s also a new cocktail recipe (Heaux on the Rocks), a ridiculous listener confession, and of course, a little indecisive date suggestions from Diane.

🎥 Watch the full episode on YouTube – trust, the facial expressions alone are worth it.

In this heartfelt and hilarious episode, Kiki and Medinah are back in their original studio space catching up on life—both the beautiful and the hard parts. Kiki opens up about the recent passing of her grandfather, sharing intimate, funny, and touching memories that remind us how fleeting life can be. Medinah reflects on her trip to Pittsburgh for Mother's Day and the emotional rollercoaster of spending time with her grandmother, who’s battling dementia. The duo also dives into a trending quote from Marlon Wayans about not marrying because of his mom—and unpack the emotional and generational dynamics around “emotional incest,” legacy, and mother-in-law drama. Plus, why some old-school family values still matter, why fried catfish can cure anything (sorta), and a very necessary PSA on checking in on our elders.

This week, we’re shaking things up with The Affair — the cocktail, not your situationship (but if the shoe fits…). We’re joined by the fabulous matchmaker and intimacy expert Tana C. Gilmore, and let’s just say: she’s spilling all the tea on sexless marriages, spicy matchmaking secrets, and why living in separate states from your husband might just save your marriage and your sanity. We’re talking grown folks business — from side-eyes over the group chat to couples who haven’t had sex in 12 years (girl, yes, 12!). Tune in for laughs, lessons, and a reminder to charge your vibrator AND your emotional batteries.

In this hilarious and unfiltered episode, Kiki and Medinah sit down with comedian Tee Sanders for a juicy conversation full of laughs, confessions, and a few wild surprises. Tee opens up about her healing journey back to Chicago, her love life as a self-proclaimed "collector of wounds" Gemini, and what really goes down in lesbian dating scenes. From crazy ex stories to high standards for 90s-fine women, they cover it all—including the truth about fake straight girls, air mattress hookups, and the seductive power of R&B playlists. Plus, the ladies play their favorite game I'm Curious to Know, and Tee drops gems about embracing vulnerability and healing past traumas. Pour up a Peach Please and get ready for a good time!
