CockTales: Dirty Discussions

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.Go to BrooklynBedding.com and use code COCKTALESPOD FOR 30% OFF SITEWIDE!!For all promo codes and links for promotions in the episode, follow this link: https://linktr.ee/cocktalesadsContact Us!Advice: [email protected]: [email protected] Sex: [email protected] Show Sponsorship: [email protected] Request/ General Inquiries [email protected] Your Merch & Order Your Card Game Purchase Merch And Card Game at www.imcurioustoknow.comGet Klassy Baste!

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 mix1 oz fresh orange juice1 oz agave syrupClub soda to topOptional: salt/Tajín rim + jalapeño slicesCocktail Add-On:2 oz sparkling wineDirections:Shake lime, orange, and agave over ice.
