Cocktales with Kiki

This week, Kiki sits down with Nya the Vampire, the woman behind Atlanta’s all-Black burlesque revue, YAMMS, for a conversation all about confidence, sensuality, and taking up space unapologetically.

Nya breaks down what burlesque really is, what people can expect at a show, and how the art form can help women reconnect with their bodies, femininity, and confidence. They also get into seduction, self-expression, feeling sexy without performing for anybody else, and what happens when you stop waiting for permission to be bold.

Whether you’re already comfortable being the center of attention or still figuring out how to own the room, this one is your reminder that confidence is a practice — and sometimes you just need a little glitter, a little nerve, and a whole lot of audacity.

Every sip has a story. 🍸

We are sitting down for a wild CockTales with Kiki interview with Nya the Vampire to get the truth about the vampire lifestyle.

In this episode, we step away from our usual relationship dilemmas for one of our favorite unique interviews. Nya joins us to break down what it really means to live as a vampire, separating the Hollywood myths from the reality of her day-to-day existence.

Whether you are curious about alternative dating or just want to hear a perspective you definitely haven't encountered on the podcast before, this conversation covers it all. It is a fresh, weird, and honest look at identity that will keep you listening until the very last drop.

Pour something bubbly and let us know in the comments: what is the weirdest subculture you have ever dated? Subscribe for more weekly conversations.

It’s Kiki’s birthday episode, and Mandii B is back on the couch — which means there was never a chance this conversation was going to stay on one topic.

Kiki and Mandii catch up on friendship, getting older, cutting people off, dating across age groups, and what it means when the relationships you’ve had for years no longer fit the person you’re becoming. Mandii also gets candid about being solo poly, why marriage and kids aren’t part of her end goal, navigating jealousy in non-monogamous relationships, and why knowing exactly what you want makes dating a whole lot easier.

Of course, things get messy along the way. They get into who can and cannot say the N-word, why some people are obsessed with leaving a “legacy” through children, the pressure women put on romantic relationships, AI helping the girlies text men, rich auntie expectations, and whether people actually like the people they’re dating.

Then Ask Kiki brings the perfect dilemma for Mandii: a listener is considering opening her relationship… except her boyfriend already has a coworker picked out. Is that ethical non-monogamy or just cheating with extra paperwork?

And because Mandii is Mandii, she closes things out with a CockTale from Jamaica involving a nude pool, a very forward woman, a sea urchin, and a trip to the nurse’s station that somehow only gets wilder from there.

Pour something bubbly and get into it — because this one is equal parts friendship, sex, relationships, hot takes, and pure chaos.

What happens when somebody switches up on you — do you protect your peace, address it, or give them exactly the same energy back?

This week on CockTales with Kiki, Kiki gets into the difference between setting a boundary and just being petty, why changed energy can tell you everything you need to know, and whether “matching energy” is actually empowering… or just letting somebody else dictate how you move.

Then Sip & Spill takes a turn when a caller shares a situation involving an ex resurfacing and a baby, raising some very real questions about old relationships, unexpected circumstances, and what happens when the past comes knocking with a whole new set of complications.

Plus: flaky friends, knowing who really shows up for you, and why sometimes the best response to weird energy is not matching it at all.Every sip has a story — and this one comes with boundaries.

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.

Every sip has a story… and apparently one glass of Prosecco has about 20.

Dree Taylor is back, and this week we're catching up on everything from the RHOA reunion and our latest reality TV opinions to moving drama, family updates, expensive weddings, questionable decisions and the very real possibility that Whitley almost sent somebody to the First 48.

Then the stories start STORYING.

We get into some absolutely unhinged listener submissions—including a workplace hookup with more parts than a Netflix limited series—and Dree and I add a few confessions of our own. Somewhere along the way we're talking broken beds, sex on vacation, old flames, bad decisions, and why some stories only get funnier once enough time has passed.

Grab a drink and come sit with us. Because around here, every sip has a story—and this week, we have plenty.
