  • This week Kiki and Medinah are joined by Mandii B! Being a friend of the show and friend in real life makes for interesting conversation. The ladies share entertaining stories and candid conversations, from birthday sex and Covid episodes to getting robbed while having sex on a beach. Additionally, they discuss navigating friendships, including crying in unexpected situations and setting boundaries with financial support. The importance of communication, self-reflection, and understanding intentions in relationships is also explored. Warning, things get heated this episode as things sometimes do amongst friends.

    This episode was very cringe because of Medina’s intoxication and the passive aggressiveness, but this was an insightful conversation. People try to differentiate romantic relationships and friendships, but they are quite the same. I do not think grace means that you don’t hold someone accountable, but you understand that their capacity to show up in this season may look/be different.

      ⁠@@jillylills3237idk I think her continuing to bring it back to motherhood when she’s not even there yet made her point fall through. I’m sorry, but a new healthy relationship doesn’t require you to drop all of your friends until a year passed for you to come back into their lives like what’s up?! The two things are simply not comparable.
      Nothing wrong with saying, hey im finally in a relationship with someone I think will be my husband, so I’m still learning how to balance, as oppose to making it seem like everyone around her is tripping.

    First thing first Kiki gave Medina and Mandii a lot GRACE! My poor baby couldn’t get one word in!
    I feel like Medina and Mandii are going through the same thing but just handling it differently. Medina is in this new relationship and trying to figure out how to navigate this new life she is trying to cultivate with her partner. Mandii last relationship was her first real relationship ever. Her first love at that so of course she is trying to navigate her life after a heartbreak.
    They are both trying to figure out this new chapter. Mandii is looking for support from her tribe and Medina is trying to figure out by herself or doesn’t know to express herself because she doesn’t want to seem like a burden.
    Great episode ladies! ❤❤

    Medinah really showed her true self in this episode and I’m not really too sold on it. Very dismissive, condescending, and somewhat rude,, from the very beginning. She doesn’t even seem like she is a friend to Mandi. Grant it Mandi does talk about herself often but from the very beginning you can feel the tension. Y’all both can work on yourselves.

    Now that I’ve listened to the whole episode I have several thoughts but all I’ll say is I see both sides of Mandii and Dean’s argument! But Dean seems to be in a “my man my man my man” phase and it’s showing up in her friendships and the Cocktales content. Relationships shouldn’t cause you to completely ice out your friends!! I’m all for growth but stay solid!

    I went through a range of emotions this episode. I like MandiiB, but she def over talks and it’s hard to hear other guests. I thought this was going to be a regular episode, but boy did it take a turn. 🤣 1. Kiki, sis, your patience this episode deserves a standing ovation. 👏🏾 You maintained a smile through it all and stood your ground. Even at the end when you could tell that you were irritated, you still maintained a positive attitude.
    2. Medinah, ma’m. I think you needed a moment. Maybe several. You started to take everything personally after a certain point. I really hope that you had sidebar conversations with both ladies because you were on one. Which is fine! But not excusable. You continued to cut people off and kept wanting to be heard, and honestly sis, you weren’t talking about anything. I feel like your emotions were so high that it was so hard for you to understand KiKi and MandiiB’s perspective. All you wanted to do was talk about yourself, how you feel, etc. I think that you’re in a space where you aren’t able to be the supportive friend because you have your own stuff going on. Which is also okay and don’t take it negatively lol. I’m not sure what you’re going through, but I hope you get through it. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
    To all 3 ladies, thanks for being vulnerable in this episode. It was a good one!

    I was listening to this on apple but had to come here and comment. MEDINAH, you are so busy being defensive that you aren’t even capable of recalling your own statements. Mandi said you're sensitive YOU: ”no I’m not...” girl rewind this episode and write down the time stamp where you said it yourself. Kiki says y’all had "a moment." A very basic summary and YOU: ”no we didn’t,” then Mandi starts to address that you have negative connotations assigned to certain words and you deny it. Then why do you reject Kiki’s statement?!
    Lastly, I understand your points on GRACE and how it’s employed however, you too need to understand that some ppl do not remain the same as you break away in silence to manage your life without communicating it. All that’s being asked for is some communication, so that GRACE can be inserted. But I personally will not be ghosted and then have the same sentiments towards a friend once s/he decides it’s Groundhog Day. FOH!

You can tell they are more private than before which I understand but also madinah in this my man era has definitely shifted the vibe… when Mandi was in her relationship the vibe still stayed the same over on whore able .

    Medinah........I think the stress you're going through is changing your listening skills and/or the way your brain is interpreting the words being said. I have been there. Stress is so hard on the body literally.
    Maybe repeat what the person said to help re-balance your interpretation.
    Its great that everyone has their own opinions and points of view and that people in friendships can disagree with each other. It truly is the response and actions taken afterwards to determine how the relationship can still work or if it needs to be dismantled for the better. This applies to intimate partners and friends, it'll never be different or seperate.
