The RSVP | Who Shows Up,Who Flakes, And What It Really Means

The RSVP | Who Shows Up,Who Flakes, And What It Really Means

Author: Kiki Said So August 28, 2026 Duration: 54:53
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 involving a boyfriend, old sex videos, and one extremely questionable camera roll.

From RSVP anxiety to mixed signals and learning how to enjoy your life before everything is perfectly figured out, this episode is about who shows up, who flakes, and what it really means.

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.
