Are you getting a good Relationship ROI, or are you just operating in chaos? This week, Kiki and Medinah discuss the importance of intentionality—from your wellness routine to your brunch dates. We’re diving into why separated checks at a bottomless mimosa brunch might actually be the ultimate green flag for clarity.

In This Episode: The ladies discuss the transition from "brunch friends" to "real life" support and why Medinah appreciated a guy friend being 100% upfront about financial boundaries. We also get into the "weird sex" story of the week: a romantic shower that turned into an Olympic sport when the curtain rod gave up. Plus, Kiki talks about the struggle of people always "outsourcing" their work to her—from party planning to free makeup sessions.

We also cover:
  • Intentional Health: Why your "Relationship ROI" starts with your own rest and wellness.


  • The "Ghost" Eyebrow Incident: Why you should always have a backup makeup artist.

  • Advice: Navigating a friendship that went cold during a season of grief and new motherhood.

Grab a drink and get comfortable. CockTales: Dirty Discussions is that unfiltered conversation happening in the corner of your favorite bar, hosted by friends Kiki Said So and Medinah Monroe. With one navigating single life and the other rooted in a long-term relationship, their perspectives clash and complement in the most honest ways. This isn't a clinical advice show; it's a raw, comedic, and deeply personal journal of what modern dating, sex, and relationships actually feel like on the ground, specifically through the lens of life in Atlanta. Each episode feels like you’re pulling up a chair to their table as they dissect their latest encounters, frustrations, and triumphs with zero censorship. The laughter is genuine, the stories are real, and the discussions go to places most are too polite to mention. You’ll find this podcast lives in the messy, human intersection of society, culture, and personal revelation, all served with a hefty side of comedy. Tune in for the kind of candid talk that makes you nod in recognition, laugh out loud, and maybe even rethink your own approach to the complicated sea of love and connection.
