Kiki Said So and Medina Monroe return this week with a no-guest episode of their podcast CockTales: Dirty Discussions, trading interviews for a lively catch-up filled with laughs, sidebars, and thoughtful reflections.
The latest installment covers everything from church crushes to the challenges of situationships, underscoring why their mix of candid storytelling and real talk continues to resonate with listeners.
Early in the conversation, the hosts explore lighthearted but relatable territory with a discussion on church crushes and unspoken attraction. The focus soon shifts to relationships, as they examine the differences between situationships and deeper emotional ties, offering insight into why certain connections can be harder to release. They also break down the idea of “peace” in relationships, emphasizing that true peace requires effort rather than silence or avoidance.
A key section of the episode centers on health and wellness. Sparked by the sudden passing of a friend at 38 from cardiac arrest, Kiki and Medina reflect on lifestyle habits and the urgency of prioritizing health. They highlight the dangers of excessive sugar consumption, criticize soda as an overlooked contributor to poor health, and stress how chronic stress itself can be more damaging than people realize. Alternatives like Ollie Pop and practices such as hot yoga are discussed as ways to support both body and mind.
The advice segment features a listener letter focused on astrology, karmic connections, and the confusion of a bond that feels destined but unstable. The hosts approach the topic with a balance of humor and practicality, noting the complications of constantly seeking outside reassurance in uncertain relationships.
The episode also brings personal updates from both hosts. Medina talks about taking a dating hiatus, preparing for a friend’s birthday celebrations, and planning her upcoming “Lover Girls” trip to Thailand, designed for women healing from heartbreak. Kiki shares her progress with a book club, previews ideas for a podcasting and media bootcamp, and highlights her “XO Man” podcast, which centers conversations around Black men and masculinity.
Upcoming events include the Save the Tatas breast cancer awareness walk on October 25 in Tampa, with additional mentions of future podcast-related projects.
True to its style, the no-guest format doesn’t slow down the energy. With topics ranging from lighthearted encounters to serious reflections, Kiki and Medina keep the conversation engaging, relatable, and often unpredictable. The result is an hour-long episode that blends real-life lessons with humor, offering listeners the signature mix of entertainment and authenticity that defines CockTales: Dirty Discussions.
