CockTales: Dirty Discussions

This week, we’re joined by comedian Keysha E for a fun, slightly chaotic, and very honest conversation about dating, attraction, and figuring out what we actually want. From celebrity crush debates to whether chemistry is just a toxic addiction (yes, we said it), we get into the difference between a good partner and a good time.

We also talk about pretty privilege in comedy, dating in Atlanta vs. LA, finances in relationships, and why “safe” might not be as boring as it sounds. Plus, we answer a listener question about feeling lost in life and share a CockTales story that involves a FaceTime mishap you absolutely don’t want to experience 😭

We kick things off getting to know Keysha—from her journey into comedy to what it’s like being an attractive woman in a space where people don’t always expect you to be funny . The conversation quickly turns into dating (of course), where we unpack everything from celebrity crushes and short king debates to the reality of dating in Atlanta versus Los Angeles.

We get into a deeper conversation about chemistry vs. compatibility—are we chasing that instant spark because it feels good, or because we’ve been conditioned to? And are we overlooking genuinely good partners because they don’t give us that “high”?

We also talk about marriage, financial conversations in relationships, independence, and what it looks like to build with someone instead of waiting until everything is perfect.

In this week’s advice segment, we respond to a listener who’s questioning the point of life and whether everything feels like a performance. It turns into a real conversation about purpose, slowing down, and figuring out what actually brings you joy.

And of course, we wrap things up with CockTales—where Keysha shares a story involving FaceTime that goes very, very left.

This week on CockTales: Dirty Discussions, Kiki and Medinah sit down with LaToya Shambo, founder and CEO of Black Girl Digital and creator of Creator Palooza. From building a platform that celebrates Black creators to negotiating million-dollar brand deals, LaToya breaks down what it really takes to build influence into a real business.

The conversation dives into entrepreneurship, imposter syndrome, and the realities of the creator economy—plus how to determine your value and confidently negotiate what you’re worth. LaToya shares the lessons she learned from working in advertising and media before launching her own company and explains why learning on someone else’s dime can be one of the smartest moves future entrepreneurs make.

They also talk about growth, letting go of old situations, the importance of forgiveness, and why knowing your value—whether in business, relationships, or life—is a practice. If you’ve ever wondered how creators turn content into careers, this episode is packed with insight, honesty, and real talk.

This week on CockTales: Dirty Discussions, we sit down with comedian Trey Moe for a conversation that’s equal parts chaotic and grown. From going through phones and finding out you’re not the only one, to standing firm on financial standards in relationships, Trey explains why he’s quick to say, “You do that again, I’m gone.” But is that emotional maturity… or just control in a cardigan? We also get into:
• Open relationships and “roster” culture
• Financial responsibility and relationship expectations
• Why some women hear “comedian” and think “struggling artist”
• Celibacy, discipline, and personal growth
• Is it hard to date someone who actually holds you accountable?
• Older women, social media posting, and modern dating dynamics Trey shares how growing up fast shaped the man he is today and why growth in relationships isn’t always soft and gentle. Sometimes it’s uncomfortable. Drop a comment below: Is “you do that again, I’m gone” a healthy boundary or a red flag?

BEDUCATED: Kick off your journey by taking the Quiz! https://beducate.me/pd2608-cocktales

This week we’re joined by producer and BET host Brian “B-Mac” McIntosh for an honest conversation about modern dating, boundaries, emotional growth, and what healthy relationships actually look like.

We talk about how dating changes in your 30s, why moving too fast in relationships can create chaos, and how men and women often misunderstand each other when it comes to vulnerability and emotional needs. The conversation dives into casual dating vs commitment, love languages, communication, and the importance of boundaries in modern relationships.

B-Mac opens up about fatherhood, co-parenting, career growth, and learning how to be emotionally available in a world where social media and public opinion never stop talking. We also discuss the pressure to share your life online, handling criticism, and the reality of building relationships while still healing.

If you’ve ever struggled with situationships, dating boundaries, emotional attachment, or figuring out what healthy dating looks like, this episode is for you.

In this episode we discuss:
 • Dating in your 30s vs your 20s
 • Boundaries in relationships
 • Casual dating vs commitment
 • Emotional maturity and vulnerability
 • Love languages and communication
 • Co-parenting and modern fatherhood
 • Healing while dating
 • Social media and relationships
