I keep saying i will but that camera while cooking be pissing me off. I like to zone out and do my thing in the kitchen, it's therapeutic. But i'm gon get to it because reflecting on how much ppl like ikea food, i need to inspire the people lol. I'm really over here mad right now because somehow my fb got suspended and now i can't go to my favorite group and see what everybody been baking. It's literally called Black Peoples Pound Cakes. anybody reading this comment i would appreciate if you dm me their cakes and other delicious food please.
Kiki, I’m with you. I need my space even when I lived with someone. I love creating alone! Also, i would have edited out that last part cause cussing folks out is wild 😂😂. Giving gratitude for the ones showing up and sharing creates an energy of receiving.
I love when yall have guests and grow/expand the podcast, but I absolutely ADORE when it’s you two just catching up having girl talk! Towards the end you could tell the drinks started to really hit 😂😂😂
Just 16 minutes in, and I'm loving how this episode brings back the vibe of the older ones! You all seem more mature now, and I’m excited to see all the new big things happening for you. The chemistry feels like two friends catching up and sharing real opinions on life’s situations. Loving these episodes! Please bring Navv Green back📍
This ep was good and right up my alley. Medinah is beautiful and i like her but we def wouldn't be frans irl just bc we have such different mentalities and sensibilities. Kiki is my JAM tho. 🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾
Super insightful conversation on space. At first, I was a bit judgy with Medinah's take because my style is a bit more like Kiki but I think it is important to find someone who meshes well with yours. It just shows that there really isn't a rule book to dating/relationships. What works for you and yours may not work for others and that's okay.
@@cocktales Right. But that's what I appreciated about Medinah's take too because she show us girlies not to settle. There is someone out there who will love you/accept your love style and not make you feel like you're doing or asking for too much!
DEAN FROM A MARRIED WOMAN AND IN A RELATIONSHIP FOR 20 YEARS.. THE MAN WANT TO GO TO HANG OUT WITH FRIENDS EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE IS OK.. JUST LIKE PEOPLE NEED FRIEND/SOCIAL TIME AWAY FROM THE SPOUSE
it’s the club atmosphere that bothers her, not him hanging out with friends. She’s said before that the club is for singles looking to hook up so she doesn’t understand why he’d want to be there
@@twylaharper5549 I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND THAT BUT YOU DONT THINK IT WILL BUILD SOME KIND OF RESENTMENT BC HE FEELS LIKE SHE SHOULD TRUST HIM TO HANG OUT IN A SOCIAL SETTING INSTEAD OF BEING A LITTLE CONTROLLING
@@twylaharper5549 that's a very dumbass take tho...the club is whr ppl go to enjoy music, drink and hang with their ppl...folks act like you can't find ass anywhere
I'm screaming she said wtf is a baby lemur lol This whole episode had me crackin tf up. Baby stewy- "Stacy" - I'm done 😂 Def encouraging advice though. Y'all have great chemistry.
I was SO excited for this topic about space because me and kiki are so similar, but I also understand Medinah's take, too. I'm easily overwhelmed, and, naturally, I've always been a person of solitude, so taking that time for myself for a bit is important to me. But quality time is also one of my love languages, so when I truly like someone, I want to be in their presence. And like kiki said, we don't always have to be engaging in conversation or doing something. Being in your presence is enough.
Kiki, I totally get what you’re saying! I feel that way 100% and I have a nice partner who understands that I need a moment and time apart sometimes.. but it does bother me when ppl act like something is wrong with a woman not wanting to spend 7 days a week with a man! Some people need time to be with their own thoughts and own emotions.. to laugh when Kiki is saying this can be a little frustrating because she’s saying how SHE feels. I get it Kiki! You are not alone in needing a moment. Sometimes I even feel bad for needing time to myself because a lot of ppl react that way.
See @Meishaa_ we see each other. Somebody in another comment said they get overstimulated pretty easily; that's me, too. I've realized that sometimes people might get the wrong idea, but when it's too much going on (sound, movement, people, too many got damn questions)...i just get so overwhelmed and i need a moment, or days, to myself. I like to sit in silence, or in a peaceful, calm, environment before live shows or big events too. That way when i have to give the energy, i've prepared myself. sometimes with men I need a break and a recharge and time to myself. I really do enjoy my alone time and I found that when I used to feel like I always had to be around someone that it's really because I didn't like sitting with my own thoughts because those weren't my happiest or most secure times in my life. All in all, different strokes for different folks, and i'm keeping my space. Hate to end up on snapped 🌚
I need space in a relationship and im glad i have a partner who understands that we have date nights every other weekend now living together if we do end up doing it ill go in a different area of the house or apartment for a short period of time to have some alone time
I started listening to yall on iTunes podcasts years ago and I used to think Kiki’s voice was Medina and vise versa 🙈😂 now I love watching on RUclips. The growth yall have shown over the years is real! 🤍🤍🤍
I definitely sit in my car and my husband knows that it’s me getting myself together to be around him and the kids. He’s also a “shower together” type of person, I just had to have the convo and tell him I need my me time and we compromise.
54:00 Medinahs dog acts JUST like my toddler. “Wake up with nothing but food on her mind” My girl be rolling out her bed talking about “eat, eat, eat!!!” Saying the same thing that dog is thinkin. Your pup is just preparing you for motherhood, sis! 🤣🙏🏽
Medinah and I are Libras for sure! 😂😂 I like my person to be in my skin or in the same room as me. We don’t have to talk but having your energy or aura around me makes me calmer and it works for me. I need to do biweekly or monthly check-ins. I’m like this with my female friends. We don’t talk everyday but we’re checking in on each other.
33:48 my ex wife shared the same sentiment KiKi. I understand we(spouse and I) are two different people so I gave grace to she and myself. Because it is hurtful, but I completely get it. ❤
When i'm goin thru stuff and highly stressed.... sometimes I need space. I just need the person the be there. I need quiet and a safe zone!! But I'm learning that not everyone get's that and respects that!! I'm already a mama.... we all know they have no boundaries....loll!!
I was driving and listening but I wanted to finish my comment. I am always aware of my surroundings. I have watched too much lifetime to fall victim to bs lol
I love you ladies and y’all beautiful 😍 this was a good one ,I like my space but I’m clingy lol 😂 I definitely want some of keke food ,ghetto realtors 😂😂
Leave it to Medinah to say something absolutely wild and make it sound like it's normal. "... I saw these people contemplating on kidnapping me.." Wait what ?!
52:57 OMG Kiki my fur baby gets a home cooked meal every day including breakfast with oatmeal and he loves his treats I make him! I be in the house making frozen fruit treats with bananas, strawberries, spinach, mangoes, peanut butter or non flavored Greek yogurt with turmeric and cinnamon. Our fur babies be living life! And don’t let me be late cooking the food. He’s pissed lmao. We just celebrated his first birthday with a cake and everything.😊 enrichment food like bell peppers or carrots are their vibes. 😂 I can’t handle a human either 56:40 I’ll be a sucker lmao.
I relate to Medinah in this episode for sure! Me and my man are superrrr clingy and affectionate and I don’t see myself being with someone who isn’t. We both naturally get a lot of personal space because of our careers though so the clinginess when we’re together balances out. 😅 I’m also working on regulating my feelings too lol it’s hard when you’re so passionate and emotional ❤
Also, I’m with you Medinah on the macaroni and bbq! I never just put straight bbq sauce on it but I do intentionally put my baked beans or bbq meatballs next to my mac 😂 y’all should try Bbq sauce on jambalaya too!!
😁😁16 year old walking you to your car. Cocktale Summer Event…I will be there. I love my space but I do enjoy the company of my man. Loving this catchup the vibe seems like old times🥰🥰.
Medinah the same thing happen to me in a Kroger in Dallas. It was a big six foot tall woman and a man with a eye patch following me the entire time she was trying to make conversation and they had a teenager walk me to the car
Lmao when you started talking about cooking challenges i immediately was about to type “have you watched bbq showdown!” I love that show too! I binge watch every season in like one day when it comes out 😂
My husband and I spend almost all of our time together besides when he goes to work and I love it 😂. We’ve been together for 9 years and I’ve never thought I need space away from him. We also live in a city neither of us grew up in so most of our close friends live hours away but he’s a homebody and an introvert anyway he not trying to go out 😂
I love yall + I be sharing the show!! lol I’ve posted on my Instagram + got friends/family listening. So I’m doing my part, don’t be going in on me like this 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I feel like Kiki and I would get along so well. 31:28 cuz I’m the same way. My sister and I are getting our own apt bcuz she’s moving in with her man. And she’s worried about me being alone. Yes it seems scary but I don’t mind being on my own or sitting in silence.
1:16:54 listen! Y’all know Cheddars down here in Houston still be hitting. Their chicken tenders and fried shrimps do what needs to be done each time.😂😂 that hot honey sauce and them crack croissants. Don’t get me started. 😂😂😂😂

Kiki is one of the most non-judgmental ppl 🤗
Chef Keke, you sound like you were born to be in the culinary space. You have a clear passion for food. ❤
Right! She should definitely start posting her cooking on TikTok
She really loves cooking
I keep saying i will but that camera while cooking be pissing me off. I like to zone out and do my thing in the kitchen, it's therapeutic.

@@cocktales I wished I enjoyed cooking . Everytime I cook I just think of my feet hurting and the mess in the kitchen
Please I have your cookbooks and they are amazing!
Kiki, I’m with you. I need my space even when I lived with someone. I love creating alone!
Also, i would have edited out that last part cause cussing folks out is wild 😂😂. Giving gratitude for the ones showing up and sharing creates an energy of receiving.

Loved this episode!!!
Felt like one of the older episodes.
Great chemistry here. 🩷

@@cocktales thank you!! 🙏
Kiki is naturally funny af 😂
yea cuz my forced jokes don't be hitting like that lmao. i just gotta be me
The mini rant at the end 😭😂 you know them drinks hit
😂😂😂😂😂 it was too funny
Kiki is such a southern belle. 47:00 talking about it’s called grounding I heard about that hippie shit. The mannerisms had me cheesing.🌹
lol...i've really gotta stop saying that...but it is hippie shit

Def encouraging advice though.

and haven't worn it since!

I love the energy between you both in this episode ❤❤
Yes Kiki I’m the same way! I’m ok with being around and not talking and being touchy!
Medinah’s fav foods sound like somebody’s secret pregnancy cravings
Ladies, I LOVED this episode. So funny 😂
